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

80% is high...but not terribly higher than most countries in Europe , no?

Italy typically has over 80% turnout.

They're not Irish flags, but rather those of Côte d'Ivoire - Francophone Africa will have given some attention to the results.

Ha! Daily Mail columnist and generally terrible person Richard Waghorne (who harkened back to the proud roots of the Mail by endorsing LePen) was whining on Twitter about the "Irish" flags been flown.

Even Italian would've been a better guess.

That's clearly orange, my friend. And from the photo I saw, it looked like there separate green and orange flags were flying (or it was a dark color in the middle and blended in with the shadows).
