Updated Thu, July 7th 2016 at 00:00 GMT +3Paris: Britain’s vote to leave the European Union looks like a boost for France’s eurosceptic National Front. The Brexit vote has plunged Britain into political chaos. National Front (FN) leader Marine Le Pen looked ecstatic as the Brexit result was announced, calling it a “victory for freedom” that would soon be repeated in France, an EU-founding member whose voters are increasingly eurosceptic. But where the Brexit legacy stands as the French vote for a president on April 23 and May 7 next year will be key. But that could turn to trouble for the party if voters see instability across the Channel when they elect a new president in 10 months’ time.
