France 2012: Official Results Thread

[Andrea]

Hauts-de-Seine for Sarzoky by 5 points.

So what is remaining?
Paris
Saint Denis
Val d'Oise
Bouches du Rhone
Rhone

Saint Denis should have Hollande comfortably ahead. Delanoe said earlier that Hollande was ahead in Paris with around 60% reported. I would expect Hollande leading in Val d'Oise too.

...that in this very rural département in a quite leftist French région, Midi-Pyrénées, you can find about as much communes in blue than in pink...

But Hollande still outperformed there and Sarko and Le Pen underperformed, overall. Is Herault, to its south, not in the same region? Hollande did far worse there and Le Pen far better, although Sarko about the same.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Hollande's constituency is in the Corrèze department. The Poison Dwarf is very much an urban politician and can't help but come across as such (whenever he tries not to be so, the result is but a confirmation).

But almost all French departments have a massive rural element.

Yeah, that's what I was saying in my stuff about climate and Mediterranean arch, Aveyron is part of South-West, doesn't belong to the Mediterranean climate area.

And all those départements that you can see in blue in the western half of the country are also quite rural, well, just enjoy to pass your mouse on all dpts and if you have an idea of where are most of French agglomerations/urbanized parts, you might see that what you were saying wouldn't be necessarily true...

And a rather massive network of small cities too, but not necessarily close from each other, then we can't really speak of urbanized area, to sum it up France might have one of the lowest (if not the lowest?) urban density of Europe.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Of note, because it came so early that we missed it, Hollande carried Belfort.

And has always been... different... in terms of so many basic demographic factors.

Ah, ok thanks.

Val d'Oise for Hollande, details at eleven.

[Andrea]

Définitif Bouches du Rhône : François Hollande 16.06%, Nicolas Sarkozy 35.20%, Marine Le Pen 23.74

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Seriously, screw Provence.

I enjoy the fact that Panzergirl's best result is in Vaucluse, which isn't even the département that she won.

[Хahar 🤔]

Dupont-Aignan wins Yerres

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

About Seine-Saint-Denis I remember having seen something from someone from there giving Mélenchon 2nd with 20% in La Courneuve, the 1st was Hollande iirc, but I can't find official results.

Anyways, places like Val-de-Marne and Seine-Saint-Denis would help JLM, but also some places of Paris (the bobos and rough ones), BdR/Marseille can still help MLP though.

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

Dupont-Aignan wins Yerres

That's where he voted, I guess he lives/has a madate there or something then.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Is it at all meaningful that Hollande got within five points of Sarko in Hauts-de-Seine?

[Хahar 🤔]

Dupont-Aignan wins Yerres

That's where he voted, I guess he lives/has a madate there or something then.

He's the mayor there, yes.

Surprised if Sarko won Rhône, but I don't know much about that area. Is Lyon a more rightist city than average?

The rural areas around Lyon are very right-wing, too.

Hmm, culturally yes, but who knows why the sane people of the city of Lyon choose the 'Socialist' Colomb for a while now...

Définitif Bouches du Rhône : François Hollande 16.06%, Nicolas Sarkozy 35.20%, Marine Le Pen 23.74

ok, that wasn't true. It was too bad to be true

Real:
Sarko 27.5 Hollande 24.5 Le Pen 23.4%

He got elected in 2001 because the right was divided and he was easily reelected in 2008, because, according to polls, he had 85% approvals.
