I dont know enough about her to judge if she fits my subjective criteria of "far right", but it irks me that every mention of her on news programmes starts with "The far right candidate, Marine le Pen...."
Dont remember anyone constantly being referred to as far left.
Agreed. In the news footage of her I haven't seen any goose stepping nazis following her about.

From what I understand in recent years she has abandoned policies like ditching the Euro and bringing back the Franc, leaving the EU, or bringing back the death penalty, and she has changed the name of her party from National Front (or Front Nationale) to National Rally.
She has softened her rhetoric on Islam, although continues a tough line on immigration, which I'm sure would be abandoned as soon she got the keys to the Elysee Palace as they all do!

That tough line on immigration is probably enough to be branded
Far Right though.
