France 2012: Official Results Thread

[Beet]

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

Which ones?

euh...yes...kinda what I was going to say...

It looks like most of them except for the eastern border areas.

Well, look at Aveyron, just for one...

I'm not a data junkie but rural might where the Right do the biggest in France, that's at least how it's culturally seen.

Are Le Pen voters the most likely to sit the run-off out?

What about Aveyron?

lol, come on dude. You're not seriously telling me that you're less knowledgeable about this than I am. I know that's not true.

The Right seems to be doing the best in medium-sized industrial cities in the east and north, not rural areas.

...and Bayrou's.

[Andrea]

Hollade leads in Esssone by 5 points. Marine at 15%
Sarko led  Yvelines by 7 points with Le Pen at 12%

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

What about Aveyron?

http://www.google.com/elections/ed/fr/results

it's the big pink one siding the 2 blue ones between Toulouse and Montpellier.

And your point being...

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

Yay, Haute-Marne:

N. Sarkozy : 27,99%
M. Le Pen : 25,26%
F. Hollande : 23,75%
J-L. Mélenchon : 8,89%
F. Bayrou : 7,97%
N. Dupont-Aignan : 2,41%
E. Joly : 1,38%
P. Poutou : 1,33%
N. Arthaud : 0,79%
J. Cheminade : 0,24%

And your point being...

...that in this very rural département in a quite leftist French région, Midi-Pyrénées, you can find about as much communes in blue than in pink...

[Andrea]

Hauts-de-Seine for Sarzoky by 5 points.

So what is remaining?
Paris
Saint Denis
Val d'Oise
Bouches du Rhone
Rhone

Saint Denis should have Hollande comfortably ahead. Delanoe said earlier that Hollande was ahead in Paris with around 60% reported. I would expect Hollande leading in Val d'Oise too.

[Beet]

...that in this very rural département in a quite leftist French région, Midi-Pyrénées, you can find about as much communes in blue than in pink...

But Hollande still outperformed there and Sarko and Le Pen underperformed, overall. Is Herault, to its south, not in the same region? Hollande did far worse there and Le Pen far better, although Sarko about the same.

[Sibboleth]

Hollande's constituency is in the Corrèze department. The Poison Dwarf is very much an urban politician and can't help but come across as such (whenever he tries not to be so, the result is but a confirmation).

But almost all French departments have a massive rural element.

Yeah, that's what I was saying in my stuff about climate and Mediterranean arch, Aveyron is part of South-West, doesn't belong to the Mediterranean climate area.

And all those départements that you can see in blue in the western half of the country are also quite rural, well, just enjoy to pass your mouse on all dpts and if you have an idea of where are most of French agglomerations/urbanized parts, you might see that what you were saying wouldn't be necessarily true...

And a rather massive network of small cities too, but not necessarily close from each other, then we can't really speak of urbanized area, to sum it up France might have one of the lowest (if not the lowest?) urban density of Europe.

[Sibboleth]

Of note, because it came so early that we missed it, Hollande carried Belfort.

And has always been... different... in terms of so many basic demographic factors.

Ah, ok thanks.

Marine Le Pen, an extreme conservative, came in third with about 20 percent, exit polls showed. Jean-Luc Melenchon, a liberal, was in fourth with 11.7 percent; Francois Bayrou finished fifth.

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

[asexual trans victimologist]

Val d'Oise for Hollande, details at eleven.

[Andrea]

Définitif Bouches du Rhône : François Hollande 16.06%, Nicolas Sarkozy 35.20%, Marine Le Pen 23.74

[asexual trans victimologist]

Seriously, screw Provence.

I enjoy the fact that Panzergirl's best result is in Vaucluse, which isn't even the département that she won.

[Kuu ülevaade olulisematest]

Dupont-Aignan wins Yerres

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

About Seine-Saint-Denis I remember having seen something from someone from there giving Mélenchon 2nd with 20% in La Courneuve, the 1st was Hollande iirc, but I can't find official results.

Anyways, places like Val-de-Marne and Seine-Saint-Denis would help JLM, but also some places of Paris (the bobos and rough ones), BdR/Marseille can still help MLP though.

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

Dupont-Aignan wins Yerres

That's where he voted, I guess he lives/has a madate there or something then.
