[Filuwaúrdjan]

Harold Wilson's first parliamentary majority was four seats.

[Keystone Phil]

One more week and...

Sarkozy would have been re-elected.

[King]

One more week and...

Sarkozy would have been re-elected.

Please, he lost to a bald socialist by 18 points yesterday.

[rob in cal]

Do we have any info on the geographic distribution of blank votes?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm all in favor of temporary banning Antonio until after legislative election. Otherwise, he'd kill us with his pessimism.

One more week and...

Sarkozy would have been re-elected.

One more week and...

Jon Huntsman would have tied with Mitt Romney in the NH primary.

One more week... but it wasn't. This is just silly.

[You kip if you want to...]

Now that one is sad.

Well, I noticed something I missed on election night.

Hollande won Basse-Normandie (!), won Calvados quite easily, was very close in Manche and managed to win a circonscription in Orne (!).

[big bad fab]

Manche is especially a very bad result for the right and I don't know really why.
Bad, OK, but that bad...

I don't think the only fact Cazeneuve was one of the four spokesmen is a reason
And on nuclear matters, well, on Flamanville and La Hague, Hollande is almost on line with Sarkozy.
Maybe rural upset translating, here more than anywhere else, by a "revolutionary" vote against the right ?

Now this is something i'd love to see on Trafalgar Square. Alas, the British are less fun.

My post on the runoff, for the few who care about my long blabber: http://welections.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/france-2012-runof/

A cantonal map is in the works.

I'd say it's because politics means less in the UK and our politicians are as much to blame for that as anyone.

[TheParliamentarian]

latest poll numbers?

[Hash]

Here's the cantonal map, now by actual electoral cantons with urban insets!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Wonderful stuff.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Beautiful, indeed.

[LastVoter]

Looks like the Geneva suburbs(I lived there for a summer and a few months in spring and summer when I was 7) voted for the right wing party
Still a pretty nice place.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Awesome map !

It's impressive how nearly all major cities have voted for Hollande... Is the PS turning into the democratic party ?

It's certainly not there yet... you wouldn't get the bourgeois enclaves in the center of Nantes or Bordeaux otherwise. (And those in the Paris metro would be partially elsewhere.)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What's interesting is how major electoral cleavages of the past (or which are major in other European countries) aren't exactly gone, but have been relegated to a secondary status in which they only properly appear locally. But what exactly is it that they've been submerged beneath?

[Colbert]

some people give us ONE map, and hello to lot of "thanks"

I give 274455 maps, and... nothing.


je vous emmârde et je rentre à mâ mâzon

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Thank you, Colbert.

I must say that your maps were a little hard to interpret, but they were very informative once I did so, so thank you very much.

[big bad fab]

Thanks Hash for this beautifully depressing map
And your urban inlets are wonderfully excruciating for me
(and thanks a lot for Paris and its arrondissements )

Isn't the north of France larger than it should be and the south narrower ? Just an eye-feeling...
