Smoove op, my point was more about two neighbouring nations not getting along. If you want a comparison try Britain and Ireland, with economic disparity added, as was the case with UK/Eire in the past. Not a perfect analogy but you have a history of conflict and a poorer country blaming the other together with economic migration. France`s intransigence re CAP probably feeds population movement. I was not going for an all out explanation of France`s problems.
From a civil order point of view, much of Britain does benefit from not having too many towns with two rival ethnic or sectarian groups living "side by side" but with basically a wall between them. That does happen in the north but in much of the UK there is a decent amount of dispersal from many commonwealth and other countries that precludes one group rivalling or conflicting with another. I still believe that continuing mass immigration is an economic negative overall. The people who are citizens here have come in good faith, are equals and are welcome as far as I am concerned.
The interwar period saw a Germany that never really re-gained constitutional stability, and the Nazis eventually exploited this by burning down the Reichstag and blaming it on the opposition. It was not certain in the 20`s though this would happen. Le Penn I am sure is wondering if he can benefit and will probably do better in the polls. But France is alot more stable than Germany c 1929 and the french other parties may actually learn to cooperate now. There hasn`t been a major revolution in France since 1871 though riots were quite common in the 1960s.
