French Regionals 2010

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Oh and, Bayrou should retire of politics now, and write books, he would be far more useful.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Yes, good.

lol, Benhamias and Lepage (2 MoDems) fighting on France2.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

That's so beautiful...

Haha, bah, not for me, low EE, PS that has nothing to say, and strong FN.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Oh dear, last national ones:

EE 12,3%
FN 12%

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

That's so beautiful...

Haha, bah, not for me, low EE, PS that has nothing to say, and strong FN.

Low ? 13% is a bit less than Europeans, but still an outstanding performance compared to the Green's traditional performance.

Nah they were 14,5% iirc in the 90s (92 iirc), plus that's less than euros, and the FN could pass in front of them, with an official national 3rd place, all of this plus a big abstention, actually, not so good.

Not really: high abstention, the stupid PS assuring Freche's re-election thanks to their close-minded egomaniac fuss, high FN... Hopefully regionalists do well.

Yeah, abstention was a big disappointment indeed... Couldn't imagine it would gain 15 points... But still, the left has never been so high since decades.

abstention is good for EE.

hmm, not here apparently.

lol at UMP in Ariège not surprising but lol.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Oh dear, PanzerGirl is pumped.

ahem?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Oh, France2 is over, wasn't bad, switch on France3.

Good they'll make all regions there seems.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

The turnout is very low and this isn't good for the democracy. This is maybe because the Regions haven't so much power  and many people think why should we vote for this powerless thing.

Plus the fact that there has been a lot of enthusiasm for politics in 2007, and a lot of deception since.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Jean-Paul Huchon just said he stays "placid" on BFM, I find it pretty amusing...

Hmm, yes, he should as much has said he stays 'Huchon'.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

À Hénin-Beaumont, Marine Le Pen est en tête avec 39%, devant le PS (27,27%) et Europe Ecologie (10,10%). La majorité présidentielle est 4e avec 7,26%

Oh dear, always a shock to see how the right is there.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Cohn-Bendit says EE's objective is to merge with the PS everywhere possible... Lame.

Yeah, new politics, new stuff, change, change. More like nothing new, egomaniacs, old stuff, old stuff!

He said that before, he is a pragmatic before everything, he always said that for regionals and further. Hmm, I think they would fight for good stuffs nevertheless, if Cohn Bendit wouldn't push for a lot, Duflot would certainly try.

And they prefer being in the majority with PS, than in the minority with UMP in power.

Sure, but PS would have to be smart too, they will have to pay attention if they have too much contempt, that could make some bad noise.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

the interessant thing is that the result of the fn is better than the presidential result.

Update: Le Pen at 20,5 %

Well, 85% turnout in presidentials.

Le Pen Marine?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Royal is completely crazy...

No she just keep advancing against a wall of bricks in her rhetoric, I still think she isn't dead, but, she'll have to make up her mind.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Duflot, another crazy girl...

Haha. No, let me explain you how it works, we call it engagement, conviction, yah, seems weird today, I know...

Haute-Normandie:

PS 35.03
UMP 25.16
FN 12.16
EE 8.83
FG 7.81
MODEM 2.9
NPA 2.59
AEI 1.16
LO 0.09

Bourgogne:

PS 35.1
UMP 29.35
FN 12.71
EE 9.92
NPA 4.32

Ahem. I don't like to see all these FN second and EE not into it.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

.k, Lepage will join EE.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

.k, Lepage will join EE.

a big kiss at Cohn-bendit on france 3... Judas...

Nah nah, she warned Bayrou since the Euros.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

another thing: criminality was the second priority in the ifop polls and it's a reason which can explain the FN result.

How strange...

The first one being "DA EVUL IMMIGRANTZ EATING OUR BREADD !!1!11!!!"

No, no, that was the 80s. As I kept saying in the thread, there clearly was unsecutiry in the media, I just thought FN wouldn't have been able to benefit of it.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Haha, debates are so carricatural, who do they expect to convince?? (amongst those who watch)

Me, you, hmm, maybe a few retirees too, maybe.

Chirac's native Correzien village: http://elections.interieur.gouv.fr/074/019/019202.html

LOL

Well, not surprising, that is a very-left wing region and department. Right only had good results there when Chirac was involved.

Eastern Correze, Chirac's turf, is usually more rural/clerical and right-leaning than the rest, but it's moderate tradition there and the Union pour Nicolas Sarkozy hasn't been successful there.

Hmm, I don't know statistics, but I've lived there during a while, and when you live there, the ambiance, trends, psychologically, are clearly: Eastern/Tulle to the Left, Western/Brive to the Right, for the big trends.

Ussel, which is Chirac's stronghold in the east, is also on the right.

Oh yes, Ussel, well, when you're in Corrèze it's mainly Brive/Tulle, yah, yah, there are a few people in Ussel too, sorry.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Haute-Garonne is still not done here, EE could still have good surprises.

Onesta is optimistic.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Yah Malvy superstar, but let's wait Toulouse too.
