French Regionals 2010

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

Works here.

52,5 abstention (by now suits with me)

Pujadas announced big surprises.

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

Wow 67% abstention in IdF.

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

Wow 67% abstention in IdF.

Careful now, that was 17:00 and polls are still open for another 20 minutes, so there might be heavier turnout later as people come back from vacations or something.

I'd doubt but well, ya never know.

Nice thingee.

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

Thank you Belgium.

France will speak in 5 mins now.

(Wow at UMP if the national poll is correct that would be the big surprise)

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

Oh dear, Filipetti on I-tele and then Fredo. Lord.

Oh hard to bear. Good luck. I stay on France2, seems fine.

They'll have Royal and Frêche they said.

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

Heheeeeeeee...........UMP!

Wow, FN 12.

Modem 4!

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

Wow...languedoc roussillon, only Frêche will represent the left.

Woooow....Le Pen 20%. I was wrong...

Good greens in R-A.

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

Copé strikes Abstention. Yah, the doomed scores of the right could mobilize between 2 runs, who knows.

One question:

A low turnout is in Germany better for the right Parties. Is it in France the same or it is different?

Apparently not today.

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

Too bad for EE, I hope they can do someting in IdF, but would seem a bit done now.

DVG 35.2%
UMP 20%
FN 13%
EE 9.5%
FG 8%
PS 7%
AEI 4%
DVD 1.8%

Because of those stupid Socialists and that bitch Mandroux, there will be no anti-Freche left candidate. Go die stupid bitch, Mandroux. You're a piece of sh**t and ought to die in a fire.

It is the attitude of PS toward EE generally, with particular context here.

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

Chiffres VdN: Nord-Pas-de-Calais : PS : 27,7 % ; Majorité présidentielle : 20,4 % ; FN : 19,7 % ; Europe Ecologie : 9,17 % ; Front de gauche : 9% 
 

Eh yes, FN could be expected there.

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

Hopefully EE remembers that and they maintain their candidates in runoffs where qualified. That's all those stupid Socialists deserve for their mindless obstructionism and their little egomaniac fest.

Hehe, I must say I could enjoy it.

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

Jesus, why do we need to have to know what stupid party hacks? Ugh. Can't you play around with a map, graphs and coloured thingees for a change?

Come on, France is not crowded of political data junkies. Set your TV!

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

besancenot and de sarnez, losers!!!!!!!!

not a news.

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

How accurate are the exit polls? Roumégas is at 9,5%. Can he make it over 10%?

Yes, it's to be watched. Frêche making great lord on France2, proposes alliances with Mandroux and Roumégas.

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

Good speech of Aubry, inter-runs will be interesting, UMP trying to mobilize, PS lot of self confidence could encourage contempt toward EE, EE could fight.

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

Let's note the fall of NPA, not an election for them but well, such results are never good.

France 24 is publishing numbers and they seem akin to our local elections to be honest (all figures up to 5.00pm CET)

Turnout
Nationally: 39%
Island of Paris: 33%

Interesting if so, and well it is Ile-de-France.

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

NPDC for OpinionWay
UMP 19.4
FN 19.1

Just wow.

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

LR for OpinionWay

DVG 36
UMP 20.5
FN 12.9
EE 8.2
FG 8
PS 6.8
AEI 4.1
DVD 1.6
Martinez (EXD) 0.7
LO 0,6
Ligue du Midi 0.6

EE dropping then.

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

Give it a logical reason why the FN is so strong in NPDC?

Hmm, heard about Calais? (lots of immigrants going to England). Also, it's quite a poor region, for the generalities.

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

NPDC for OpinionWay
UMP 19.4
FN 19.1

Just wow.

Marine speaking, bloody hell FN could finish second there next Sunday.

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

Rhone-Alpes for OpinionWay

UMP 26.4
PS 26
EE 17.5
FN 14.6
FG 6
MODEM 4
NPA 2.1
DVD 1.9
LO 1.5

Give it a logical reason why the FN is so strong in NPDC?

Old mining/working-class areas which are now slowly dying, where the FN has recently broken through. Immigration and security themes are big here.

Marine !

When will people stop using such simplistic explanations?

I think that the come back of the FN is due to Marine Le Pen.

In part but, not only, other reasons have been cited here for this région.

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

Ségolène Royal speaks. Must say that compared to Aubry, looks ridiculous. I still don't think she's finished, but well, that's not her night. Interesting to see EE there.

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

Good EE in IdF, hope they'll try to get something nationally.

?

"L'UMP et ses alliés obtiennent 26,20% des voix contre 22,74% pour le Parti socialiste.

Le Front national obtient 11,71% des voix, devant Europe Ecologie (11,09%).

Les listes du Front de gauche obtiennent 7,35% des voix, devant le Modem (5,64%).

Environ 73% des bulletins ont été dépouillés."

lol if so.

Thank God she didn't speak long.

Interesting that she had time for a snide remark for political apparels: "malgre l'hostilite des appareils politiques..."

lol yes, she's still into that.

Aha! NRW in Germany is a Old mining/working-class area too and the NPD and the Republikaner are very weak there. I see France and Germany is not the same

Oh, it's not the same for all old-mining areas, that's why the poverty of NPDC and the heavy immigration are important there.

No, the FN is generally stronger than average in a lot of old mining areas.

Yes but look, in the south of France, 'commies'/PS can remain important in these areas, like Gard or Aveyron.

Hmm, I really think it would be an error not to give importance to immigration and poverty there.
