Upwards of 70% of French people would vote for the Democrats if they were in America.

Of course, explaining that -6 economic score and his love of Chirac is a little more difficult.

I clearly have no idea who to vote for in France lol.

People have complained that they don't understand my political orientation, and, yeah, it's bizarre, especially in France where a regionalist/federalist likes me practically dislikes all parties imaginable.

OK, serious-actual voter who cares version with some hindsight:

1965: Pierre Marcilhacy/Charles de Gaulle
1969: Michel Rocard/Alain Poher
1974: Jacques Chaban-Delmas/Valéry Giscard d'Estaing
1981: Michel Crépeau/Valéry Giscard d'Estaing
1988: Raymond Barre/François Mitterrand
1995: Édouard Balladur/Jacques Chirac
2002: Alain Madelin or Jean Saint-Josse/Jacques Chirac
2007: Frédéric Nihous/Nicolas Sarkozy
2012 (scenario): Hervé Morin/Dominique Strauss-Kahn

alternatively, if I was less politically inclined and more tolerant of not voting; I would have abstained from voting in the runoffs in 1981, 1988, 1995, 2002 and likely 2007. Actually, in 1988, I might have shot a bullet through my head given the choices. If I was my current self who has a penchant for political humour, than Georges Marchais in 1981 would be an obvious choice.

Legislative depends on lots of stuff, like constituency and candidates and all that. It depends a lot on where I vote in France, do I vote in Rennes, Redon or Saint-Malo, for example? I mean, my father associates with Rennes, I associate with Saint-Malo (because I vacationed there) but when I go to France I stay in Redon's constituency (and, say, my Air France address is there).

1945: Radical
1946-J: RGR
1946-N: RGR
1951: RGR
1956: Radical-UDSR
1958: Radical
1962: Radical
1967: PSU
1968: PSU
1973: MR
1978: UDF
1981: MRG
1986: MRG
1988: PS
1993: Greens
1997: Regionalist
2002: Regionalist
2007: Regionalist

In the Euros, I would have voted Green in 1989, Max Simeoni's list in 1994, Green in 1999, abstained in 2004 and Parti breton or EE in 2009.

In the regionals, I'd have voted regionalist throughout (PS in the 2004 and 2010 runoffs).
