It's nice to see the FN getting beaten but I'm a little confused that the OP thinks that in the UK, politics should be about principles with a party standing firm on its ideals/policies as agreed by its members then presenting them to the electorate and living or dying by the results whereas in France it's all about electability, compromise and manipulating the political system to achieve an outcome agreeable to most.
Where have I said I support the French system and/or the way the outcome was achieved? I said "It suits me" but this is all and it doesn't mean I necessarily support the way it was achieved. I was deliberately sticking to the fence when I was posting yesterday but was hung over so might have missed something.
