Should NATO restore democracy to France?

The party that won the most votes in the election has been given the third most seats, and the Communists now are in charge, which is a major setback in The War Against Communism.

Should NATO begin staging troops to take the country back and restore democracy and western values?

France is a democracy - whilst I do not agree with the way one bunch of parties colluded to prevent a party they (or you?) don't like from winning a general-election, the voting was under France's own system, there is no suspicion of irregular voting, the Communist Party is not "in control" but even if there is a Communist Party of France, even if it did put up candidates and won votes... frankly it is France's business. Not yours, not mine, not NATO's.

It is not NATO's policy to go barging into a NATO member's country to try to overturn its elections!

It might be as well to consider though that in a democracy, a hard-line party of any ideology will tend to encourage hard-line parties of opposite ideology.
