Strange metric to use since it is totally arbitrary to allow Le Pen and not Wilders.

Marine might not be anti semite, but her father certainly is and there's still an air of anti semitism around that party. Even most PVV sympathisers don't want cooperation with FN because of this.

Well it's exactly the same in France. The FN got only 13.6% of the votes at the legislative elections in 2012, and only 2 MPs.

The poster scores of the FN at the European elections and on the 1st round of the presidential elections is meaningless. It's just a way for people to vent their anger without any real consequences, because the European elections and the 1st round of the presidential elections is not where things are decided.
Fair enough. Still, FN has been a force in French politics far longer than all these new parties and is still going strong(er). It remains to be seen what happens in these other countries. PVV actually lost big in the European elections and the only other place where an anti immigration party won >25% which is Denmark it isn't near as radical and far right as FN. They're in the same European group as the UK Conservatives.

And the FN is cordoned by all parties just like in Sweden (the same cannot be said in the UK or the Netherlands).
UKIP and PVV have exactely zero change of coming into government. There is no party that wants a coalition with the PVV either. The last construction where PVV supported the VVD/CDA coaltion was an informal one and since Geert Wilders blew it up, those parties are not going to try something like that again.
