I do so love the utterly predictable geographical patterns wrt French voters on the north bank of the Mor Breizh.

Also: does anyone have a link to constituency results for the mainland?

Sarkozy is probably toast:

With 10 days to go, Hollande leads 55-45.

Canada Smiley Surprised how right-wing the rest of the voters are though.

Interesting that Sarkozy got over 80% of the vote from French citizens living in Monaco!

I would like to know how you understand it, because it doesn't seem all that controversial a quote to me.

The FN is a party which has the right to present itself and which contests some Republican values.

Sounds like praise to me... if i've understood.

I'm feeling like putting my neck out in an area where there are numerous native speakers of French around: 'Contester' here means something like: 'to attack, to bring into question'.

I don't see any problem.
The FN is a legal party. TRUE
The FN is not in agreement with some republican values. Debatable, but from the mainstream view, TRUE.

The reason why Canada votes different become ridiculously obvious when you look at the breakdown...

P.S: Does anyone have a blank map of the world? I'd like to do a map of this.

Perhaps most curious spot: Panzergirl won the all-important country of South Sudan with a whopping 4 votes. I wonder what those voters are like...

It's still nice to know that there is a significant left-leaning area in North America.

It nicely fits into the cliches I've heard about french voters in English speaking countries...

Just looking through posts from around this time last year. Some of our predictions about Candidate Hollande and the election in general are hilarious.

Well, in the 2010 regionals and obviously the 2009 Euros, there are a ton of Green-voting municipalities in the Drome and Ardeche.
One would figure. Mélenchon got a lot of those votes this time round.

Think also about the numerous nuclear and chemical plants along the Rhône.

I suspect that probably to be the case, but it is a curiosity none-the-less. Hollande won most African countries.

Actually, the English "contest" can be used in the same sense as "contester" but it's not the most common current usage, e.g. "The disappointed relatives contested the will".

Looks like Sarkozy has stabilized at about 46%.

The problem for him is that Bayrou's voters are now breaking for Hollande by a narrow margin.

Unless there's a big surge for him among Bayrou's and Le Pen's voters, he's done.

Anyways...

There's something really quite old school about the Midi focus of Mélenchon's support, isn't there? Even if not exactly in terms of details.

...thoughts?

Don't expect anything from me. I'm still a noob at French political geography. Wink

I'd also like an explanation for this.

His support among middle-class urban progressives is pretty unparalleled for a truly leftist candidate, no?
