the vote for France's National Front increases in last Sunday's legislature election

With percentage of the vote shares around the country in the 20's common, and some into the 30's, the Front National or FN seemed satisfied with its performance, although it obtained only two seats under the simple majority - over two rounds - electoral system.  One of Francois Hollande's campaign commitments was to introduce some proportionality into the electoral system for the legislature.

The main target of frontistes is the high number of immigrants from Muslim countries who, with their high birth rate and unemployment rate, burden France's welfare system.
