For those like me who want to live in expectation and suspense, please don't post the leaked exit poll details on here. If you want, just post the url link to them so that those who can't wait can see them but those who don't can restrain their urges.

The Boardbashi agrees and will delete any such postings.

France 2's election night broadcast starts in 25 minutes. Is it the best place to watch results?

I just voted ! Smiley Second vote in my life, first in France and first for an electoral contest.

The perfect election to officially become a citizen. Cheesy

This morning, in my polling station, I felt like there were only leftist voters... really... Sad Sad Sad
You actually meet other voters in your polling station? I envy you.

Turnout is high and this day seems to be plenty of life... I'm pretty impressed: almost as much as in 2007... Amazing, considering the results were obvious.

It'll be a great victory for the left... They can thank Sarkozy very, very much... Back in 2006, I hated Villepin because I thought he was able to kill the right for many years. Well, after all, Sarkozy has done it !

No, you'll probably win next time round. But a win (fingers crossed, wood touched, etc, etc, etc) is a win and the French Left don't have so many of those...

How long until the exit polls? I have two different numbers in my head for some reason.

About an hour and 20 minutes, though again the media has them now.

I've found such leaked numbers. Only for the top five candidates and rounded to the full percentage though, so I could have just as well pulled them out of a hat. Hollande 27, Sarko 25, Le Pen 16, Mélenchon 13, Bayrou 10

Why does France always have such high turnout? Is it part of the whole "liberty, equality, fraternity" national psyche thing?

That's a reasonable way of showing that kind of thing, actually. Like they used to do with football scores: there's actually a chance of getting to 'look away now'.

Italy typically has over 80% turnout.

Are we also supposed to abstain from commenting on certain trends in any 'leaked' exit poll results (, which of course the rtbf has been reporting without any trace of restraint since they've got their paws on them)?

Yes, please. Only 30 minutes before the results at any rate.

A compromise would be a thread with a massive WARNING sign attached?

A voté!

Et ensuite...

A dormi!

(well, tried to...)

I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep last night but it's crazy how one can feel powerless and ridiculous by doing it, when I was putting my 'Jean-Luc Mélenchon' ballot in my little blue envelop, I was thinking 'lol, how cute of me...'. That goes in line with my general feeling with that campaing and that election though, such a politico-media circus, thankfully it's over soon! only 14 days left!

Well, I still have a bit of interest in it though, I wouldn't be here otherwise.

Hey, big enough turnout apparently, that what I was thinking with the evolution of the campaign, some fresh people like Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen would help to make it higher, well, could mean the both are high enough.

Not that I feel that the results of this are that important, and that what they propose is a finality but:



ALLEZ LE FRONT DE GAUCHE!!

Oh and, fine that this year everybody has to wait the same hour to get some results.

There shouldn't be any real drama to this, should there? The polling has been incredibly consistent.
