      The far left didn't win, they "won". The 3 leftist parties formed a very weak coalition and worked togtether to strategically pull their candidates from the second round in constituencies so that Le Pen's party would not win the seats. Le Pen's party got the most votes despite getting only 3rd place in terms of seats, but it is still the largest party in parliament because the coalition is split between 3 small parties. Le Pen gained 60% more seats than they had before. The far left parties in the coalition will never be able to form a government and even if they do they the coalition will not survive long term because these 3 parties are polar opposites on many key issues, and frankly the stuff they want is radical and ridiculous. Immigration will only get worse and this will strengthen Marine Le Pen's party even more. She'll eventually take power, all they've done is kick the inevitable down the road.

      Far right tends to mean people who are racist, anti women's rights re abortion, hostile towards the LGBTQ populations, anti public services and a welfare state, with a tendency to rule in an authoritarian way and not inhbited about using physical violence on people demonstrating peacefully unless the people are in support of something the government agrees with. This tends to create other kinds of problems in society that limit people's freedoms in ways that, not only the minorities but after awhile most people in the mainstream end up resenting.

    Feance has a tradition of reversing the voting result in the second round. Cohabitation is also tradtional. Fundamentally, French voters do not like extremes, be they hard left communists or hard eight fascists. The PF was just a voting tactic with many center left such as the greens and socialists owe no loyalty to the hard left.
