Which image is negative?

I am not sure about Macron's funding but the banks did also lend to other candidates. Just not Le Pen because they're the National Front. Also bankers are a pretty broad group, they don't all have a secret club they all join.

Ditto in the UK where any mention of UKIP is tantamount to declaring support for the BNP/EDL cretins in the liberals' eyes.

Well also because it's the same party. Don't quite buy it's radically changed because the leader changed from the father to the daughter. She has moderated her tone but many will remain wary. I don't think if the BNP did the same people would trust them.
Also UKIP is not analogous to the NF. UKIP are more moderate.
