<br/><br/> Since 2011, the nf has registered a constant increase of its electoral impact so much so that it is today the French party with the largest number of voters. This extraordinary dynamics can be explained by the deepening of the economic and social crisis of the country, the political and ideological aggiornamento of the party operated by Marine Le Pen, the deep disappointment with the left in power, a growing disillusionment with the painful and difficult reconstruction of the right, but also by the murderous terrorist attacks which have brought to the forefront of the political agenda the traditional themes of the nf such as security, immigration and Islamism.
