French Legislative Elections 2012: Official Results Thread

[Filuwaúrdjan]

About the same sort of lead as in 1981, so...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Any other sites with results other than the interior ministry?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Just spotted that Le Monde has a map with twitter things for each constituency. If anyone wants to go through mountains of rumours and so on.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Mélenchon eliminated apparently. But then my French is less than entirely wonderful, so misreading possible.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Moselle 1 = Filippetti 43.5%, UMP 25.8%, FN 18.8%, FG 5.5%

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Seine-Maritime 8... PS 30.5, PCF 30.3, UMP 19.6, FN 14.6

That's the proletarian Le Havre seat. Safe Commie, or so we all thought. lol.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yeah, the FG failed bad.

In the last couple of elections, there was always the "PCF is going to die" them during the campaign. This time thanks to the FG vehicle, Melenchon running a good presidential campaign and being charismatic enough, that kind of talks has been avoided....just to lose quite a lot of their remaining seats.

Very much a heart-of-stone-not-to-laugh situation, actually

[Filuwaúrdjan]

This means nothing, though. Anything can change in one week, I know that well enough from the presidential election... So, let's keep calm. Everything will be decided in six days.

Oh hisht, mon. You've won already

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So, how did LePen and the other FNers do ?

Le Pen 42.3%, Kemel (PS) 23.5%, Mélenchon 21.5%, Urbaniak (something like a joint UMP/MoDem candidate) 7.9%. In theory that position isn't actually strong enough for her to win (a runoff against Mélenchon would have been different), though stranger things have happened and perhaps pessimism isn't a bad thing or whatever.

Another Le Pen topped the poll in the Vaucluse 3rd, which will be a triangular trainwreck. FN also on top in Gard 3rd and Pas-de-Calais 12th, though the latter is a fluke and they won't even get close (PS incumbent caught with hand in till, runs as a independent and polls 21.6%. Official PS candidate knocks him out - to the surprise of all - with 24.6%. FN gets 25.7%). Oh, Bouches-de-Rhône 3rd as well (north eastern Marseille). 30% FN, 30% DVG, 20% UMP, 11% FG.

But maybe the fascist with the best chance of winning is Jacques Bompard, who left the FN in 2005. Results in the Vaucluse 4th were: PS 25.2%, Bompard 23.5%, UMP 20.4%, FN 16.3%.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Oh that's sick.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Again, my predictions = fail. Should I bother with a second stab at humiliating myself?

Why ever not? I'm thinking about doing some really basic ones, just for the sheer hell of it.
