French election maps

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

I'd like to see 1988, btw.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

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

Diolch

I think so. Probably fewer than in 97, though.

I'm thinking in particular of those suburban ones lost this year

[Filuwaúrdjan]

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.

But enough to explain most of the very strange holds.

Where was his seat? Nievre? Or was he moved somewhere else?

Bump

Any chance of some maps of the election just after the Second World War?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

While I'm here, are there any requests?

First round results (by candidate) of the second Presidential election of the 5th Republic would be interesting.

1965? I have resources for that one.

Dammit; should have said direct elections (so '69). But '65 would be interesting as well.

1965 was the first direct election; 1958 was the first election of the Fifth Republic, held by electoral college.

Ah, slight confusion here. By '69 I meant the second direct election.

Surprised to see Lozere not being part of the, ahem, Greater Camisard Area. Though the Protestant towns there are tiny.

I will also have to repost that map on the Catholic v Anti-Clerical divide in the '60's that I made a while back.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

These three maps are from a book on electoral geography published in the '70's. Any mistakes are thus not my fault:



And this is a map I found on teh interwebs:

Random question; why do FN do so (relatively) well in what is, I think, the Garonne valley [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Do Hue v Madelin!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

You can see where Pompidou's personal vote was strongest, can'st thou. Chirac too, but to a latter extent. The decline of the old Catholic-Anti Clerical divide is there as well.

Pompidou got over 80% in Cantal, btw.

I think that deserves a "lol".

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Btw, do you have figures for past Presidential elections by department [qm]. It'd be really nice if they were written up online somewhere.

The CDSP, though I'd be careful with the old constituency data in there.

Diolch!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

And now, Lozere. Al will like this map.

Meant to comment on this at the time it was posted. Voting patterns in Lozere are hilarious.

Very, very old political divide, too.

At least they aren't killing each other anymore!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Interesting to see that the PCF still have some strength in the suburbs of Marseille. I suppose a lot of their old vote in the city lives out there now.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I read the article on the crazy UMP deputy from Moselle who killed his mistress last year, so I was inspired to do this map.

Details!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Mine doesn't really look the type either;


Now, Vroom-vroom down the road might.



Pity that no photo of him being angry is on the internets.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Now, Vroom-vroom down the road might.

Why are they calling him that? Just because they can't pronounce his name?

Because he was caught going at 101mph down a road near Dolgellau.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Btw, it's fascinating to see how little voting patterns in the Ardeche have changed since the Third Republic. Left seems to be stronger in the SW now than back then, but that's close to being the only difference.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Tomorrow I'll copy something to do with the Ardeche that you might find interesting; it's in an old book on electoral geography.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Here it is. A copy of a copy. But fun anyway:
