France 2012: Official Results Thread

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

What is it about Morbihan? Even this time it was much narrower than the rest of the Breton départements.

[Nhoj]

The paris metro areas that have come in seem to have higher abstention jumps than other areas.

[asexual trans victimologist]

How is Hollande expected to do in the Big Four cities, relative to how Royal or Jospin used to?

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

Best Bayrou score for a dpt?

[Senator MaxQue]

Benwah, Montpellier helps a lot for Hérault (Hollande 35%, Sarkozy 21,8%, Mélenchon 15,7%, Le Pen 13,7%, Bayrou 7,4%).

Yes, was thinking about trying to find Montpellier, thank you, not surprising, the big Mélenchon vote might be in part explained by the important student community there, we might have more or less the same thing in Toulouse.

[Senator MaxQue]

Best Bayrou score for a dpt?

1. Pyrénées-Atlantiques: 15,7%
2. Mayenne: 13,4%
3. Maine-et-Loire: 12,8%

[Sibboleth]

[Senator MaxQue]

Oh, Hollande won Loire. I'm surprised, the department being quite right-wing outside of Saint-Étienne.

[asexual trans victimologist]

Hollande 27-25 in Loire, Sarko 37-24 over Panzergirl in Alpes-Maritime (his best result yet?). Provence is a really politically awful place, isn't it?

[Sibboleth]

Hollande 27-25 in Loire,

Which is an extremely encouraging result, of course.

Sarko 37-24 over Panzergirl in Alpes-Maritime (his best result yet?). Provence is a really politically awful place, isn't it?

Indeed. Though it could be argued that the problem there is the great influx of French people (and obviously White Algerians).

Well, Côte-d'Azur isn't very good either. Only good place in PACA is the Alps, apparently.

[Insula Dei]

It also is significantly less nice than, say, Languedoc-Rousillon on most other terrains.

Just saying in case you'd ever be planning a holiday.

One of these days I'd love to see some soft, peripheral travel movie about some privileged American or Briton finding love and/or his/her dreams at a little cottage on the windswept coast of Brittany or in the forested mountains of Limousin. Now there's some régions of France I can get behind.

Well, I suppose. Some French people in Montreal told me than Azur Coast became Concrete Coast.

[Senator MaxQue]

A good win in Haute-Garonne (Hollande 32,9%, Sarkozy 22,8, Le Pen 15,3, Mélenchon 13,4%, Bayrou 9,3).

Again, Toulouse helped lower Le Pen score and raise Mélenchon score.

[Bro-mentum]

France 24 just said 'round two' of the Presidential election. Hah, fools..

[Beet]

Why are the rural areas of France so left-wing?

A case could be made for the French Mediterranean arch as a whole (which includes the seaside and its background) when it comes to political tendencies, well all what's in the Mediterranean climate, and when you see for example the South-West, which is one of the part in France in which the political tendencies are the 'sweetest', even for the part which is the closest from the Mediterranean arch, like the département in which I live, Tarn, but which is cut from Mediterranean climate by a few middle mountains, then that might be what I was saying, it's all about weather .

[Sibboleth]

Why are the rural areas of France so left-wing?

Which ones?

[You kip if you want to...]

Just reading an article and I didn't realise that Melenchon's 100% tax thing was a real thing!
