France 2012: Official Results Thread

[You kip if you want to...]

3 debates!? BLOODY HELL.

[Hashemite]

Hollande gave a strong speech, Sarko spoke like a moron. Guess my mind is made up then.

[afleitch]

Sarko! Sarko! Sarko!

[You kip if you want to...]

HOW are the UMP supporters so joyous to be on the edge of a cliff!?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Someone commented on twitter that Hollande's decision to attack FN in his speech was stupid because he will need their votes to defeat Sarkozy.

Every mind is. Hollande's was 'grave' (the French word, way to say serious/low pitched). But really missed of dynamism, and quickly went into technical things.

[rob in cal]

What did Hollande say against the FN?

He'd need a part of them yeah. I read on lemonde.fr that something gives that 5
27% of FN vote would go on Hollande, against Sarkozy I guess. But well, if so, he didn't take a lot of risk by attacking people, anti-sarkozism is something well seeded when it's present in someone...

[You kip if you want to...]

Do 10% 2nd round leads across a country disappear overnight? No.

Is François Hollande the French Neil Kinnock? No.

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

What did Hollande say against the FN?

What 'everybody' says against FN in France, which is an other reason why it missed of force...

What sort of place is Tremarget in Cotes-d'Armor, I ask because it seems that Joly has won it.

124 people voted there. It's 1) Joly 2) Melenchon 3) Hollande

[Sibboleth]

Hollande takes Haute-Loire as well. lol.

[Sibboleth]

wtf corsica

[You kip if you want to...]

wtf corsica

I just thought that!

[Sibboleth]

wtf corsica

I just thought that!

I suppose it must be a pretty common thought, throughout History and all that.

[Sam Spade]

My own system of working out French numbers says second round would be 53-47 Hollande, which I think is what the exit poll says too.

Same. I was never under the impression that Corsu was a hotbed of French ultra-nationalist sentiment. And what the Hell is with Bilia?

One could have thought that Trémarget could have been on the seaside though, because people on Côte d'Armor seaside have some reasons to go...Green:

People here have to stop stealing my thoughts.... (but I prefer writing on the liveblog).

[asexual trans victimologist]

Lol Pyrénées-Atlantiques, lol Bayrou.

Corsica is one of the place in France in which anti-Muslim racism is one of the toughest and one of the most openly admitted, they must have enjoyed MLP's 'energy'...

[asexual trans victimologist]

What's the over-under on Hollande losing a single part of Limousin, Poitou-Charentes, Aquitaine, or Midi-Pyrénées?
