Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on May 06, 2012, 04:23:34 PM I knew you're saving this map for later! Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: Franzl on May 06, 2012, 04:53:40 PM I agree. Antonio does deserve a political success after many years of seeing right-wingers win all over Europe.
Congratulations :) Even if you're not pleased with the actual numbers right now...I'm sure you'll forget about that when Hollande moves into the palace... ;) Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio!

Post by: homelycooking on May 06, 2012, 05:29:38 PM Call it an Hollandeslide... but take heart in remembering who won the day on May the Sixth :)
Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: opebo on May 06, 2012, 05:44:42 PM You remembered! I came pretty close to tearing up. Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: Antonio the Sixth on May 06, 2012, 06:23:31 PM Well, thank you people. :) I apreciate your kind comments very much (even though I'd rather have avoided seeing a certain map again) and I try to share your joy as much as I can.
So, we won. And we kicked Sarko's ass. He won't be annoying us anymore, and this is something awesome. Something worth partying. It's a great day for France. However, what a disappointment... What a narrow victory... What an undeserved result ! :'( I can't help resenting the unfairness of life. And the absolute mind-numbing retardedness of voters. But still, we won. :) We're FREE AT LAST. :D Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: LastVoter on May 07, 2012, 02:13:24 AM I'm pretty happy, considering it's my birthday too, couldn't have asked for a better present than European election results, too bad I have a midterm tomorrow :(
Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: Napoleon on May 07, 2012, 02:30:08 AM Happy birthday Seatown. :) And congrats Antonio!
I am celebrating this victory with an avatar change and if I say so, it looks great on me! Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: batmacumba on May 07, 2012, 12:07:24 PM Félicitations, a vous et a tout le peuple français! Seatown, It seems Europe turned to be a very nice gift sender to you. Happy birthday.

Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on May 07, 2012, 07:01:05 PM Sarkozy is gone and you're next to follow... >:D Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: You kip if you want to... on May 07, 2012, 07:13:34 PM Merci pour une victoire de la gauche!
Finally, some hope for us European lefties. Hollande has by-far exceeded the expectations I had of him after the DSK affair and I'm extremely happy he's won! Hopefully he can try and get us all out of this austerity crap hole! Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on May 07, 2012, 09:10:26 PM Sarkozy is gone and you're next to follow... >:D I suppose that means I'll lose my student council election for VP, not get a job this summer, & fail in my quest to join local politics? :( :P Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: Tender Branson on May 08, 2012, 04:51:09 AM Yeah, definitely earned after 17 years of right-winger rule.
Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: Antonio the Sixth on May 08, 2012, 04:56:07 AM Yeah, definitely earned after 17 years of right-winger rule. 10 years, to be fair. ;) But it was ten very painful years, the past five being the worst... Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio!

Well you're free now...whether with 51% or 55% ;) Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio!

Well you're free now...whether with 51% or 55% ;) Well, it's not like we're really safe yet. Let's wait for the legislatives before triumphing. Title: Re: Congratulations, Antonio! Post by: AndrewTX on May 08, 2012, 10:57:51 AM Wait... France had an election?
