French Regionals 2010

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Villepin would announce a new political movement on Thursday!

[Hash]

UMP wins Var, standing now at 3 departments: Var, Haut-Rhin, Cantal (with Bas-Rhin quasi-certain and maybe Alpes-Maritimes. Yvelines and 92 as an outside chance).

[Hash]

67.8% for Malvy overall. Haha. Now we need to know which side he was on in the PS civil war circa 2008!

Final results? Bah, he doesn't seem to be a Royalist so far, that would rather be a DSK/Aubry support.

[Hash]

No majority in Corse. 24 seats for the left, 12 for the UMP, 11 for Femu a Corsica and 4 for Corsica Libera. 'Third round' on Thursday.

lolzio.

Wikipedia says he supported Aubry's motion.

Malvy has always been a Fabiusian (old Mitterrandist).
But I don't think he needed to betray like Bartolone: he must still be a Fabiusian, i.e. Aubry or DSK in 2011 , except that, ideologically, he's closer to Aubry.

[Hash]

Le président Malvy a fait applaudir à tout rompre les résultats massifs enregistrés dans de vieilles villes ouvrières: Decazeville (Aveyron) 80%, Carmaux (Tarn) 79,8%, Lannemezan (Hautes-Pyrénées) 76,6%, Lavelanet (Ariège) 72,6%..., sans compter sa ville de Figeac (Lot 74,4%). "Même Lourdes, traditionnellement plus proche de la Vierge Marie que de Jean Jaurès, a donné 57% à la gauche", a-t-il dit.

[big bad fab]

In Aquitaine, the MoDem has widen his appeal.
Everywhere the FN has made it to the run-off, he has gained a better result, for the first time ever in a local election.

Now, how can we continue with only one party on the maisntream right ?
Split this, with a real rightist one, and a strong centre-right !

The stupidity is that the split will come with minor guys like Arthuis or Charrette going elsewhere, or with mad Villepin doing his own lil' thing...
Sigh... all this is doomed...

Borloo, Barnier, Juppé et alii in a new centre-right, quickly !

[Hash]

11 seats for Hascoet in Bretagne, when Le Drian proposed 10 to him and he wanted 13-14. Still 4 seats for the stupid UDB.

[Hash]

Couderc has even narrowly lost his hometown of Béziers. Couderc isn't perfect, but in this region, he's a flipping saint.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Huchon 1st in HdS, by about 51%.

...

[Hash]

Lyon bobos hate the UMP: http://elections.interieur.gouv.fr/082/069/069123AR01.html

[big bad fab]

Not the slightest result in Paris, even in 1-2-3-4...

Elsewhere, Lorraine (Moselle OMG), Loiret, Vendée are really big disappointments

[Hash]

Vendée

Jesus Christ, look at Montaigu: http://elections.interieur.gouv.fr/052/085/085146.html

UMP wins Yvelines, haha.

Ugh at the FN top candidate in Lolzere: http://www.rfo.fr/elections-regionales-2010/resultats/2010/departement_48.html. He has my name and he looks like a pile of sh**t.

[MaxQue]

UMP wins also Alpes-Maritimes.

[big bad fab]

UMP wins also Alpes-Maritimes.

"wins"...

LOL at Montaigu...

Huchon might be at 45% in the 16th arrondissement... sigh...

[Hash]

Richert (UMP) has won Waechter's hometown. Shows well how Richert won, because of good transfers from MEI-centrist green voters, plus probably some Alsace d'abord votes.

[Hash]

Huchon might be at 45% in the 16th arrondissement... sigh...

lol at rumours these days. "Only" 21.85% for Huchon in the 16th (Paris is in!)

[Hash]

...and a map:



(2004 map: http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/hashemite/frankreich/Regional2004-R2.png)

The polarization of Paris is always stunning, even when you're into French political demographics.

Just waiting for Guyane (I predict a fairly large UMP win) and Martinique (I figure Letchimy will win)

[Hash]

I really like that map ...

Not having looked into economic data, but I guess Paris-West, Elsass and South-Eastern PACA are wealthy areas compared with the rest of France ?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I hate my Département...

Oh, that wasn't a rumour, just a stupid joke before going to bed .

Otherwise, even Bas-Rhin would have been in red !
