French Legislative Elections 2012: Official Results Thread

[big bad fab]

If Coronado is elected, I'll probably commit suicide.

These constituencies have been decided 2 years ago and, in the UMP, they weren't able to make a good work on the field ?... Bah...
But, nevertheless, let's remember that Marleix himself said it would be balanced between left and right in these "French abroad" constituencies.

The turnout is disgusting, especially when I see how my vote will be wasted next Sunday.
God, I'm really angry.
Some general counsellors are beaten with more votes...

Here they are.

To Antonio: I know that, anyway, that's not an anticipation of results in France itself, fortunately. It's just that, giving ELEVEN seats to French abroad was a bit excessive
And that, if the PS has a majority on its own only because he'll win 5, 6 or even 7 seats abroad, it could be full of irony on the trick from the right about these new seats...

Dominique Paillé: 2,79% !!!
Could we imagine such a tremendous success ?
Now, it's probably one of the biggest individual political stories of all time...

Everything isn't lost for the right in the 3rd and the 4th (it will be very hard, but it's still possible), while Coronado may well win in the 2nd. Disgusting.
Globaly, EE-LV is doing very well. I hate bobos, wherever they live
The biggest surprise is that the 8th seems to be lost for the UMP... OMG.
And Mariani isn't safe at all.

I'm already wrong on the 10th, as Marsaud has beaten all the DVD candidates and made it to the 2nd round. Fortunately, he should prevail and the seat should be on the right anyway.

Who is Sergio Coronado and why is he bad?

You don't know me, but I'm a French social conservative.
Coronado is probably my exact antithesis (well, just after Philippe Meirieu, EE-LV candidate in Rhône: I would have voted for the PRG candidate , Braillard, had I lived there ! ).

And seeing him winning in those ridiculous "French abroad" constituencies is outrageous. In any Metropole constituency, he would have been trounced...

But the right has played with fire. And when you play with fire...

Not the turnout is disgusting, the bizarre notion that French citizens abroad should have fptp constituencies is.

Why not in theory ?
And the system doesn't change anything I think.

PS dissident ahead of EE-LV in Côtes d'Armor 4th. YES !

As for national results, unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll be right

[big bad fab]

Isn't this a better-than-expected night for the right??

Oh no, it's the worst electoral night EVER for the right since 1981... Really... Even 1997 wasn't so bad...
Here, you have a majority dor the PS alone (well, in the context, it's the good news ).
But you have also a group for the Greens.
And Olivier Ferrand, president of Terra Nova think tank, the post-post-post-modern proud lil' sh** of the PS, will eb elected in a triangulaire in Bouches-du-Rhône.
I've just seen this and I've totally depressed.
And I haven't even dared to look at results in Rhône-1, with the Green Meirieu...

I'm sick.

My updated predictions, based on results of the 1st round.
Some mistakes may have occurred.
My total is only 576, but I must go to bed
(majority at 289, remember)

PS 285
DVG 23
PRG 19

EE-LV 19 ()

FG 10

régionalists, independentists 3

MoDem 2 (but not Bayrou)

EXD 1 (Bompard but no FN)

NC 17
PR/DVD 24
UMP 178

awaiting to know who will be candidate in the 2nd round: 5 (roughly, 3 for the left and 2 for the right if everything is "rational")

This is 2007 reversed.
Hope ther will be a bigger turnout for the right next Sunday. But I'm pessimistic.
