France 2012: Official Results Thread

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

Oh wow, all those South-West dpts, a lot between 58 and 65, South-West still at it! yay!

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

So are these numbers going to hold at Hollande doing significantly better than the exit polls predicted? Because it looks like the remaining areas aren't that pro-Sarkozy.

!
Western IdF, Côte-d'Azur, Vendée, Alsace, Rhône aren't in yet.

Western IdF: Hollande did big in Hauts-de-Seine in the 1st round

Côte d'Azur: well, yeah, BdR too maybe, even if he did relatively well in the 1st round too

Vendée: Sand ^^

Alsace: ah well, yeah, 'il reste [toujours] une région en haut à droite' ^^

Rhône: is Rhône anything else than Lyon? Grappes don't vote ^^

So, well, Hollande can stille go up.

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

Meurthe-et-Moselle: Hollande 53,1

Moselle: Sarkozy 53,5

Interesting

Lyon voted for Sarkozy in the first round

Oho, I had missed that one, still, we are in an anti-Sarkozy perspective vote today.

And I forgot the Savoies.

Snow ^^

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

lol Meaux (Coppé's city, Seine-et-Marne):

Hollande 54,4!

And it's a lil island in a blue sea there, poor Jean-François, who was supposed to be the 'next leader of the Right', his political carrier as a leader might end in one mouth...

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

Vendée:

Sarkozy 55, indeed.

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

Aube:

Sarkozy 57,4, best dpt score I've seen for him so far.

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

Other big one for the Right/Far-Right:

Ain

Sarkozy 57,2

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

Ah, Sarkozy's record so far:

Corse-du-Sud:

57,6

This is a victory, and I feel sad.

Keep some sadness for the 10th and 17th of May...

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

Ah, Sarkozy's record so far:

Corse-du-Sud:

57,6

This is a victory, and I feel sad.

Keep some sadness for the 10th and 17th of May...

It's june.

And apparently a poll says 31% PS, 30% UMP 18% FN, so I know what I can expect.

Oh yes, sorry, I meant it, is that this PS 'victory' that makes me upside down??!

Oh, and, polls for this wouldn't mean a lot so far, we have to see the rise of this glorious new 'Bleu Marine' movement before, FN doesn't exist anymore.

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

What is Haute-Savoie like, and why is Sarko breaking 60% there?

Ow...

'Petit-Bourgeois mentality'...

Maybe a 'Switzerland belt', well, it's kinda the same culture...

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

Mélenchon announced a total independence for Législatives, Front de Gauche will present candidates everywhere.

I hope those bloody damned French 'Commies' (sometimes they really deserve such a nomination) of PCF will stop to be the good old puppet used by PS when they need it and break the FdG alliance.

Ah well, I guess in several places FdG might succeed to do something alone.

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

Yeah, Haut-Rhin finally confirmed at 63,3 for Sarkozy.

Breakable record for the Right/Far-Right tonight?

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

Border regions sure do hate them a socialist.

Nah, depends on borders, and apparently on mountains too, Pyrénées/Spanish borders are safe.

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

Mélenchon announced a total independence for Législatives, Front de Gauche will present candidates everywhere.

I somehow doubt than Pierre Laurent and PCF leadership will accept all Mélenchon orders.

Well, in the campaign to get the Presidential nomination in PCF, Mélenchon actually became quite diplomat, so, who knows, maybe the PCF has not totally buried the concept of evolution...

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

lol at John Simpson's report for the BBC. Getting a reaction in the market Hollande visited, the first person's wearing a striped top and the second a beret.

He asked them to wear it. Anglos are lost if they don't have it in France.

Well, Corrèze!

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

Hollande won Mulhouse.

lol, wow, now this is an island.

Mulhouse people decided to turn less ridiculous than Bockel...

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

Hollande won Mulhouse.

Which isn't surprising, but is making me afraid about the rural areas of Haut-Rhin

Yeah, was just passing the mouse over the dpt, rare to see figures beginning by figures bellow 5, and all is blue, indeed.

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

Haut-Rhin succeeds to make the 56 of Vaucluse for the Right/Far-Right almost low...

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

Ah well, it always has a fancy effect:

Place de la Bastille, Paris

You can't see it well on this picture but it's amusing how all around the foot of the column there are a lot of different Arab flags (especially Maghrebi ones indeed, but not only).

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

Wow, Le Parisien says Sarkozy does 50,5 in Hauts-de-Seine.

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

Hey, Aude is 56 for Hollande, I like it.

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

Cannes:

Sarkozy aka the Right/Far-Right: 78%

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

Hey, Aude is 56 for Hollande, I like it.

Fairly weak result in an historical context.

Yeah, but in a contemporary context I like it.

We'd still have to see Législatives though.

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

Mélenchon announced a total independence for Législatives, Front de Gauche will present candidates everywhere.

I somehow doubt than Pierre Laurent and PCF leadership will accept all Mélenchon orders.
That's a department, not a province, BK.

First off, you're quick! I edited out my mistake probably ten seconds after I posted it

Second, Front de Gauche's parties finalized back in 2011 their agreement for contesting the 2012 legislative elections. ~80% of their candidates will be from the PCF, ~20% from the PdG, though they'll contest a handful of constituencies with minor party members and FdG-affiliated leftist independents. Also, IIRC the agreement gave PCF a disproportionate amount of "winnable" constituencies, so FdG MP's after the election will probably be like 90-95% PCF anyway. I doubt Pierre Laurent will really be objecting to anything; FdG unity certainly helps PCF more than it hurts.

Never underestimate the capacity of PCF to 'puppetize' themselves to PS, and PS has all to win to see weaker possible FdG. That being said, with the big dynamic that Mélenchon created in this campaign, and given that it made PCF go from 1,5 to 11 in 5 years in a Presidential election, they might consider some kind of change in the way they 'do' politics...

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

18e arrondissement Hollande 70.31%

lol, love it, they broke Corrèze.
