I've kind of decided to go with equality rather than absolute compactness myself, which isn't really the French way but meh.

Anyways, I'm working on building a national 577 constituency map based on the individual states' districting. So get to work people!

Heck, it took me 3 hours to come with that map ! Tongue

Louisiana :



It's a bit tricky to watch, because for some reason DRA includes sea areas, but the main patterns are clear.

Great analysis ! I'm glad to see this restarted. Smiley

I think a nice thing you could do is adding a county map. It's not a problem if you're not 100% sure about a few counties, I'd just help me to understand the general pattern better.

Just finished to read it. I'm really amazed by how detailed and approfondite your analysis was. However, as I said, I can't really comment much on it apart from saying it made me learn a lot of things I didn't know.

Tony, don't you think that today's GOP is more like the "new" FN?

Are you talking to me ? Nobody here calls me Tony. Tongue

Anyways no, despite 2/3rds of the GOP would easily be seen as far-right in France, it wouldn't share a lot in common with the FN, which is extremist in a very different way. First of all, the FN is economically statist. Which is not to say they're left-wing (even though their rhetoric has adopted some left-populist tones), but they are protectionist, support government's intervention to defend local businesses against foreign competition and pledge to protect welfare and public services. This would basically be a no-goer for almost everybody in the GOP. On for social issues, the FN isn't as insane as the religious right. While they claim to defend "tradition" and are generally conservative on most social issues, they don't focus on this aspect at all and recently try to appear as "modern" and "open-minded". Actually, the "new FN" now even claims to support laïcité (the secularity of the French State). Although this is just a pretext to bash da evul muzlimz who can't integrate our society, and there are tons of religious nuts left in. And to be fair with the GOP, I don't think even people like Brewer go as far as Le Pen when it comes to immigrant hatemongering.

I'm still following this, but it's hard for me to catch up with all the stuff you write. Tongue It's still fascinating.

I really didn't expect it going to Royal in 2007, but your analysis seems very convincing. Wink Once you've finished the State-by-State analysis, I expect to see more maps of past elections and party strength ! Smiley
