Nobody outside French Polynesia understands politics over there, so our hunches there were naturally wrong. I went safe by just betting on the "right" in general (like most people did), which doesn't make lots of sense in the local context, but which seems to be a correct descriptor for Flosse's party. The third constituency, a new creation, appears to be the most nationalist one on paper, so I wouldn't be surprised if the UPLD won there.

Wallis and Futuna has pretty confusing clan politics as well, while New Caledonian politics are more understandable and interesting.

Leaks from the Benelux say that Marie-Anne Montchamp, the UMP candidate and former cabinet minister, would be third and out by the first round. I wonder how Dodo is doing. Is he going to lose another election?

Slate.fr has some more rumours:

The PS coming that close with French people in Switzerland (and even Belgium)... what has the world come to?

[Hash]

PS is apparently quite a bit ahead of the UMP in the Italy-Israel gerrymander (which was Sarko's best constituency). lolump.

[Hash]

Thierry Mariani (UMP) apparently dominates in Hong Kong, but in Japan he's third with 87 votes behind the PS (121) and EELV (90).

It would be quite hilarious if Mariani lost.

A UMP Senator has been tweeting results, so here are the other interesting things:

lolump. I won't shed tears that they received a huge middle fingers from the 5 voters who bothered showing up, given that these constituencies were an awful political tactic which backfired epically.

But above all, hearty congratulations to Dodo on such an astounding result. Even a gay Muslim atheist socialist in Alabama would win more votes than you did!

Tons of people want to disenfranchise me, it seems.

I didn't know this discussion had anything to do with the election results... oh wait, it doesn't! Let's cut it short then

[Hash]

Not that discussion doesn't have value, but it's gone waaaaaaaay too far off topic. I'll lock this thread for good measure until Sunday

[Hash]

Reopened. Behave yourselves.

FN 13.7%

Haha, go die in a fire, bitch.

The MoDem incumbent in Mayotte lost... quite badly... he won 0.82% of the vote!

[Hash]

Yeah, the FG failed bad. Not only has it failed entirely at translating Melenchon's votes, it will probably end up with a caucus SMALLER or equal to that of the PCF in 2007. Fail.

On a side note, my predictions also seemed to have failed bad. I knew I should never have done those.

[Hash]

Candidate ahead:


Again, my predictions = fail. Should I bother with a second stab at humiliating myself?

Also, Morano is even more of a despicable human being than I thought. She's a poster child for abortion.

Finally, a website with a decent map of the results!
