NANTERRE, France (Reuters) - Marine Le Pen should step down as leader of France's far-right National Front (FN) after disappointing results in the presidential and parliamentary elections, her father who founded the anti-establishment party said on Tuesday.

"You outlive your usefulness when you start harming your party by your policy stances or your stubbornness," the 89-year-old Jean-Marie Le Pen told reporters after he was locked out of a party meeting.
