A flawless, beautiful mandate. I feel bad for Hamon and PS, but they were due for a wipeout when their president had a single-digit approval rating.
Perhaps in the not too distant future Corbyn can become PM, f**k everything up and alienate everyone, and then an upstart liberal party led by without the recent baggage of the LibDems can dominate everything. One can dream.
"Flawless, beautiful" to a tyranny-of-the-centre fault. That is, boring as f**k. The only un-boring thing being the plethora of first-round knockouts for sitting parliamentarians (incl. Hamon).
It's like Ontario in the federal Chretien 90s all over again. Unless one's into parsing the subtleties of the losers' numbers, it was totally yawn. Ho-hum. Zzzzzzz...
At least in the Chretien era you could model how a united conservative party would do. France doesn't even have that
