Isn't it the French just trying the populist right wing experience out*.
Like so many other places.
Le Pen does sound pretty Vichyous
*totally ignorant of facts

The French far right is a lot more firmly established and mainstream than ours.
They are a lot more organised, a lot more powerful, they have been influencing our deranged right wing opportunists for a long time, and clearly we have been influencing them. This kind of disgusting policy empowers racists everywhere.
This Rwanda shit can be used in different ways to upset different audiences, Le Pen can use it to whip up anti-British AND anti-refugee sentiment while also saying we're not going far enough (fascists don't need consistent arguments)...
French people are easily as potentially stupid as British people, so we could be looking at Frexit, too.

Unfortunately
I think if we had a French style Presidential election, straight votes for individuals rather than parties, Farage would do very well in the first round.
I hope the system makes it look worse than it is, and when it's a two-horse race in the second round she gets battered like last time.

I hope so too but Macron is less popular in France than Hilary Clinton is in America,
and there's a world war and economic crisis looming....

Yes, probably that proportion of people who feel safer with authoritarians.
Poor dears need a firm hand.
