French election maps

For any French electoral maps of any election. Kind of like Tender's Austrian thread

My 'series' on the 2007 legislative election should be out soon.

It's already made, I'll post it tonight

Results of the French legislative election, 1993

Second Round

[Hash]

Are there any requests, I have adequate resources for post-1988, although I could do some department-level maps for elections such as 1968, 1848, 1936.

[Hash]

I'll try to find my 1988 map if I can

[Hash]

Some of the Left seats that survived in 1993 are very surprising; did a lot of FN candidates get into the second round or something

In the Oise, there was a three-way PS-UDF-FN race that went 39.62-39.04-21.32, same thing in the lone PS riding in the Rhone (Meyzieu) went 39.76-34.79-28.44 (PS-UDF-FN again), in the Marseilles area, the 12th, 4th, 10th, and 8th ridings were all left-right-FN races except for a two-way PS (or PCF)-FN runoff in Megret's riding (12th) and 4th. In Pyrennes-Orientales, the lone PS riding there was a two-way PS-FN race. One PC-FN runoff in the 93 btw. So, surprisingly not much FN presence in the left's seat. Most of the seats were either well-known incumbents (Beregovoy is one) or solid PS seats.

Found 1988.

Results of the French legislative election, 1988

Second Round



1988 is one of the rare ones that wasn't a large/huge/enormous defeat for either left or right.

[Hash]

Beregovoy's seat was in Nievre (1st riding) and the 1993 result was quite close considering he was quite well known: 53.69 for him and 46.31 for "Rostein-RPR"

[Hash]

Any other requests, I have 1997 if anybody is interested by that one

Results of the French legislative election, 1997

Second Round



The site I used didn't give breakdown of the "left" which includes a majority of Socialists, but also MRGs and MRCs (Republican and Citizen). Apologies on my part, but it does include the Greens.

The LDI is La Droite Independente, the predecessor of the MPF also led by de Villiers (who was a former UDF)

[Hash]

Having a same color for each candidate and use different shades for each % range would work better.

Some classifications are a bit wrong too

[Hash]

You didn't understand what I said, I asked for one color scheme per party instead of the same everywhere.

How can Besancenot not be considered a trotskyist and instead a Libertarian? How is Royal a social liberal and not a social democrat? How is Buffet, Bove, Voynet all libertarians? Libertarianism in France is quite irrelevant, the closest you come to find one is AL (and that's more of classical liberalism than US-style libertarianism).

Some regions really never change, don't they? (Nievre, Cotes d'Armor, 9-3)

Taken from a map from my 1968 edition of the Atlas Historique Stock

I'll take a few other interesting old maps from there of French elections (they have the Parti de l'Ordre in 1848, 2 maps for the Front Populaire, and other interesting maps)

[Hash]

in a way, it is exactly the opposite map of bayrou's vote

Not surprising really.

For those who might be surprised to see the FN second in Haute Marne, it was only 8.7% or around that, nothing huge (so are a few other in the UMP-solid circonscriptions)

Departmental strength of each candidate in the second round of the 2007 Presidential election



Quite similar to the first round, but Royal was the one gaining the most votes (as seen by her taking a few departements that voted Sarkozy on the first round.

1. Frankly, I don't know. From what I see, some seats were contested by candidates under a UDF or RPR banner, for example Chirac is classified as an UPF candidate. The UPF was mainly a front like the Presidential Majority is today really. I wouild say the UPF were common candidates in areas they wanted to win from the left or where there was a strong RPR or UDF incumbent to defend.

2. The UDF was founded in 1978 as a party comprising of the PR, CDS, PSD, PR etc. The PSD and CDS became the Force Democrate in 1995 under Bayrou's pressure and was thus the largest group within the UDF. In 1998 after the stories of the UDF supporting the FN in various regions to get a rightist majority, the liberals issued from the PR left to form the Democratie liberale group which formed a common slate with the RPR in 1999 European elections while Bayrou led a dissident Nouvelle UDF list (the nouvelle UDF reunited the FD and a few other fringe groups. And we all know the rest.

Thank for your comments.

The problem of French politics is that the political identity of particular politician is often very obscurely uttered. After elections 1997 the Le Monde (in paper version) told the political party of the elected candidates, but normally the French are not very able to tell the affiliations. We know that the PR was always largest component of the coalition and CDS was second, the others being   smaller. However, the official lists of National Assembly seldom tell such things.

Couldn't agree more. That's because of the god-awful DVD-DVG-DIV classifications which are useless to me and you Some people are able to classify further than that and break that up, but its very rare. Same goes for results which are grouped into 'far-left', 'far-right', 'regionalists' without giving us results in % and # for say the MNR or UDB candidates (sucks). In 2007 its awful to still operate like this.
