France 2012: Official Results Thread

[big bad fab]

She wasn't so bad in alsace and Alpes-Maritimes, Hash. And she isn't very high in Nièvre, Loir-et-Cher, Indre, Orne.

Sure, from Lyon to Savoies, she wasn't good (but it was the same in Doubs and Côte d'Or).

Daddy won 23% in Bas-Rhin and 23.5% in Haut-Rhin back in 02, and nearly 25% in 95. She's at 21 and 23% respectively. She's doing a bit less than 2% better than Daddy in 2002, so on a universal swing basis, she underperformed. Not that this surprises me one bit, I had already noted it in 2010. In the 06, Daddy took 26% in 02, she won 23.5%. Not surprising either, but still an underperformance.

Eure, otoh, is a nice result for her, just looking stuff over.

Oh sure: I was thinking of 2007, not of 2002 or 1995.

I don't know if people were paying attention to them, but Hollande landslided 4 of the 5 overseas departments.

Which one did Sarkozy win?

Mayotte.

[big bad fab]

It will be interesting to compare Hollande's map with his own map in the PS primary and with maps of... Chirac

As a side note, seems as if Nièvre is "normalizing" in a way.

Mayotte. It only became a department a year ago.

Weakest dpt for the Right tonight?

It's funny that they keep around some communes that no one lives in any more.

Ah well, yeah, you can find some with about 15 people here and there...

There are those too, in addition to the ones that literally have no one.

Euh, I don't think so. Those are not communes, a commune is an administration, then there is a mayor, then there is some voters. Now you have some villages in which there are nobody left, and that you can even buy for some of them, but that is not a commune, those are only groups of old houses here or there. And then you also have hameaux, which are some small to very small groups of houses lost here or there somewhere, in which from only one to maybe a maximum of 30 people are living. Such groups of houses can be either some communes of 15 people then, of which the territory can be far more extended than those few houses since it can include some fields and or forests all around, or hameaux, which means that they are a group of houses belonging to a commune of which the center is somewhere else (and sometimes it can be very far away) in the countryside...

Welcome in France's rurality.

Marine has done very well in old Communist working-class municipalities, historically so. Melenchon's appeal to the old PCF prole base has been fairly tepid to say the least. A comparison to Hue's 1995 map will be very interesting, I already know that Hue did better in the Allier in 95 than Memelenchon. The bad news is, I'll have to suffer through the loads and loads of douchebags who will use this as proof that there has always been a strong link between Commies and Fascists... just like the Commies use the 1984 Euros to prove the contrary... oh Christ... I might as well jump off a bridge...

btw, there are 7 (i think) communes in the Meuse which retain communal status and have an appointed administration, but they are uninhabited as they are designated as "villages mort pour la France" - they were destroyed in WWI and haven't been rebuilt. All other communes in France have at least one inhabitant.

LOL at French comorians being xenophobic toward Comorian comorians.

Hong Kong ^^:

Nicolas Sarkozy : 1860 votes - 56,8% François Hollande : 580 votes – 17,7% François Bayrou : 432 votes – 13,2% Eva Joly : 142 votes – 4,3% Jean-Luc Mélenchon : 115 votes – 3,5% Marine Le Pen : 99 votes – 3%

I wonder if someone has a clue about the reason of this vote. Anyways, to develop about xenophobia, Marine Le Pen did 2,77%

[Hashemite]

Abstention was 51% in Mayotte, so let's stop grasping at straws.

[Benwah [why on Earth do I post something] Courseyay]

Sarkozy won New-Caledonia too:

N. Sarkozy : 49,63%
F. Hollande : 24,91%
M. Le Pen : 11,66%
F. Bayrou : 5,13%
J-L. Mélenchon : 3,28%
E. Joly : 2,62%
P. Poutou : 0,98%
N. Dupont-Aignan : 0,93%
N. Arthaud : 0,54%
J. Cheminade : 0,31%

Hmm, the point of oversea territories would also be to have abstention results, I'd be curious to know it for New-Caledonia.

[Benwah [why on Earth do I post something] Courseyay]

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, no jealous between MLP and JLM:

F. Hollande : 33,75%
N. Sarkozy : 18,55%
M. Le Pen : 15,81%
J-L. Mélenchon : 15,17%
F. Bayrou : 7,37%
P. Poutou : 3,91%
N. Dupont-Aignan : 2,43%
E. Joly : 1,63%
N. Arthaud : 0,87%
J. Cheminade : 0,49%

Poutou!

If you add it to Mélenchon, and well Hollande, that puts it quite on the Left, didn't know.

[Hashemite]

Sarkozy won New-Caledonia too:

44.6% in New Caledonia. I'd be curious to see a map of results and abstention in Kanakie/New Caledonia by commune, though I can draw it up in my mind right now and not be too far off.

SPM was posted on page one here.

Saint-Martin/Saint-Barthélémy:

 N. Sarkozy : 43,62%
F. Hollande : 26,78%
M. Le Pen : 12,14%
F. Bayrou : 5,89%
J-L. Mélenchon : 5,89% lol, indeed
E. Joly : 2,59%
N. Dupont-Aignan : 1,15%
P. Poutou : 1,06%
N. Arthaud : 0,55%
J. Cheminade : 0,35%

Pretty awful for Sarko in Paris. He won only 1st, 6th, 7th, 8th, 15th, 16th and 17th arrondissements.

Well as far as the campaign went, were there glaring differences between Marine and Melenchon on economic policy? They are both euroskeptic, anti-globalization, one favors regulating banks heavily, the other favors nationalizing them, etc. Main difference is one emphasizes reducing immigration, the other does not speak to it, no?

[Benwah [why on Earth do I post something] Courseyay]

To sum it on oversea territories:

Sarkozy won Saint-Martin/Saint Barth, New-Caledonia, Polynesia, Mayotte

Hollande Guyanne, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, Wallis et Futuna

In short, dunno if it tells something, but Hollande wins all the DOMs but one, and Sarkozy all the TOMs but one.

Mélenchon is for regularization of Capitalism and against Financial world overall.

Le Pen is for nationalism and against Globalization overall.

Just for the main traits.

[Hashemite]

Here's one type of place where Sarko held up very well vis-a-vis 2007: very wealthy suburbs. Not surprising. This whole campaign, besides Sarko, has been about who would come up with the best insult to rich people.

edit: confirmed. He's even improving on his 2007 results in a good number of wealthyland places.
