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

I've got BFM on because I can't find any better streams! TF1 is region locked, anyone got anything better?

I refuse to watch the BBC's coverage of international elections. It's too patronising. Darn language barriers.

I thought Bayrou was centrist, so I suspect his votes would split pretty evenly between Hollande and Sarkozy in the second round much like they did in 2007.  As for the right doing better than expected, it seems in pretty much every European election the right outperforms what the polls say.  If anything like here in Canada, it might have to do with the fact the demographics that are most likely to support parties on the right typically tend to have the highest turnout.

It's a bit like the shy Tory effect, I think...

Who wants people thinking they're a racist?

Aubry cuts off in favour of Marine. Gotta see humour somewhere.

Weak speech of Hollande, what a contrast with MLP's...

Also Collard (famous lawyer, support of MLP) confirmed what she spoka about a few days before the 1st run, they gonna change the name of FN and try to create a new big 'patriotic' movement. And Bayrou confirmed his will to also create a 'new' force on the Center. If Sarkozy loses, that reallly gonna be hot on the Right. UMP was mainly designed by and for Sarkozy, that'd make sense that, still in case he loses, it sinks with him...

So the new FN as the new centre-right? God help France, vive le parti socialiste then I guess.

Do 10% 2nd round leads across a country disappear overnight? No.

Is François Hollande the French Neil Kinnock? No.

Guys, I've often said that Corsican nationalists can tend to vote for the FN in presidential elections. I've been proven correct again.

I'm interested in why. Is it just that the movement has racist elements/tendencies?

It's difficult to be a nationalist and not hate someone. Only have to look to the SNP and their Anglophobia.

Bizarre to that even a year ago DSK was definately going to be the next president and how François Hollande was a non-starter who'd be a blunder of a nominee. Bizarre.

Any reason to be shocked that Marine's not carried a department yet?

Just reading an article and I didn't realise that Melenchon's 100% tax thing was a real thing!

Just looking at the map. Assuming western Paris is very much like Cities of London and Westminster constituency?
