France's total population includes the overseas territories while the UK's population is Great Britain and Northern Ireland (I believe). This should mean that the population of the UK is already larger than that of mainland France.
I think that's what the article already says. There's about 3 million citizens in the overseas territories (and 2 million abroad but I don't know how they are counted).
