oh yeah, for sure racism is a problem in France. I was more thinking about austerity, for example, which they constantly riot over, but the two leading politicians are pro austerity as far as I know.
I think it's mostly that the socialist parties leader is unpopular. He got caught up in some corruption and said something akin to, I am the state. So people don't like him. If there was a more popular socialist leader mac and pen would have more stiff competition.

Right wing populism can thrive under austerity. It may not fix things, but it garners support.
