And now, Lozere. Al will like this map.

Meant to comment on this at the time it was posted. Voting patterns in Lozere are hilarious.

Very, very old political divide, too.

At least they aren't killing each other anymore!

Have you got data for 1848?

There was no referendum in 1848.

Data for the Constituent Assembly? The National Assembly has information on the actual MPs.

Presidential election.

But legislative would be nice, as would a MoDem map for the 2007 legislatives.

Presidential election.

I personally don't. IIRC Cavaignac won 13, 83, 56, and 29.

OK.

MoDem, runoff?

Would be totally useless and a waste of time.

Some comments on latest historical maps from Hashemite:

- Rocard 1969 is very interesting, as these national and old results (a quite lefty Rocard at the time) would remain similar to his results inside the PS (from 1979 to the 1990s):

strongholds in Bretagne  (Louis Le Pensec...), Loire-Atlantique (Claude Evin...) and Anjou (Monnier, former mayor of Angiers), Franche-Comté, Isère and Grenoble (Hubert Dubedout, former mayor, was a mendésiste and a hero for pragmatic local socialism), Western Ile-de-France (Rocard was elected in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Yvelines), even Gers.

- Lecanuet 1965 is a very unsurprising one: centrist map + Rouen (Lecanuet's city).
Remember Lecanuet was the first main candidate to know how to use television. Some in France called him a French Kennedy. It was 43 years ago...

- In 1870 plebiscite map, you can already read the first socialist maps of the twentieth century (before the Tours Congress in 1920).

I'll take a look at constituency results in the 76 if I find them and they're accurate.

A few other things on that. Apart from urban republicans who hated him (the original opposition to him) plus some conservative (meaning royalist) Catholic areas (Breton west, Gironde, parts of the rural east), industrial areas out east and some leftie rurals.

You're right, but my point was to say that, in a nutshell, what you can stare at a glance is the left map of the early 20th century.

You're right except for Loire-Atlantique and Gironde: it's more an influence of urban vote (anti-"order") and industrial areas along Loire and Gironde "estuaires", than any Cahtolic vote (especially in Gironde; truer in rural Loire-Atlantique of course).

Difficult to have those old maps. I've just checked in an old "Larousse encyclopédique en 12 volumes" published in 1958, but nothing on electoral geography... What a pity !

Boredom is an awful thing, and so is wireless intermittent Interwebs.

So, I did some uniform swing maps for 2007 showing a few scenarios:

67% Sarkozy



55% Sarkozy



50%-50% tie

b

53% Royal



55% Royal



Errors possible. Note that I didn't do the Overseas map on the 55-45 Royal map, so it's wrong.

[big bad fab]

Very interesting.

The tie map is revealing: Sarkozy is Le Pen plus remnants of the 70s right (Cantal-Lozère-Haute Loire and the string between Manche and Vendée).

The 55% map for Royal (OMG...) is also interesting: Oise, Eure-et-Loir  and Vaucluse still for Sarkozy, but not Seine-et-Marne, Meuse, Vendée or even Hauts-de-Seine... How the right has changed...

I'm a bit surprised by Hauts-de-Seine for Royal if she wins 53% nationally (but haven't checked anything...).

Narrowly wins with around 50.4%

This map is fascinating in a number of ways, not just because CPNT is a cool party, but it's also a cool demographic guide.

2007 runoff maps, again.

Marne



Ardennes



Charente-Maritime



Mayenne and Sarthe



Currently working on the Deux-Sevres.

A map of French forests, bays, muds and "young" mountains:
Landes-Médoc, Sologne, Saintonge, Cévennes, Quercy, Queyras, Mercantour,
Somme, pays de Retz, Isigny-Manche
Pyrenees, Alps, Corsica.

More a hunting map than anything else.

Important favourite daughter vote in there.



Epic fail. Sarkozy won Fos-sur-Mer (albeit narrowly, he still won Fos-sur-Mer)

Still taking requests.
