Could you point me in the direction of a reference for RN saying the French electoral system is rigged against them?
Is that because of the preferential aspect of the two-round elections?

I'm intensely relaxed about Nigel Farage complaining about a new electoral system locking Reform out of power if it's voter preferences rather than parties doing that work. 👍
