France 2017: Results Thread

First commune out of Hauts-De-Seine, 88% for Macron. Paris is just going to be a god damn bloodbath.

Haha so many leftists who claim Le Pen is a fascist. It's amazing how s*** like this continues

Can we just have a Brown avatar already?

We already have a maroon for Socialists.

Apparently Marine's rebranding is working. Wonder what her more mainstream conservative fans would say about her father, who is the real fascist/racist.

yeah, it's working great. National Front went from losing by unprecendent, shocking margins to losing by almost unprecedented, Goldwater in 1964 margins to a very enthusiasm driving candidate.

Make no mistake about it, Le Pen blew it.

More election data:

Vote by age and sex

Point 1 - huh, french women didn't care to see the first french woman president? (lol)
Point 2 - interesting that Age sort of forms a curve - "YOUTHS FOR LE PEN" didn't exactly pan out, and olds, faced with two unfamiliar choices, picked the not-Le Pen.

  Trump 2.0 which is trending more like a neo-con interventionist administration would likely rather have Macron than MLP imho.  Maybe not Trump himself, but people like Tillerson, Mattis, Hailey, Kushner, Mcmaster etc.

Trump endorsed Marine Le Pen though

Wow. France's olds are huge FFs!

LOL no, they are the only ones who voted for Fillon.

Then by your logic they should have heavily voted for LePen but they didn't, voted strongest for Macron.

They are mostly rich right-wingers who primarily care about their pocketbooks. They agree with Panzergirl on almost every issue but know that leaving the Euro would screw them over, so they hold their nose and vote for FBM (whose economic policies will still be sympathetic to their interests anyway).

Interesting considering how the British Olds pretty much did the opposite via the EU referendum.

Hollande won both of the departments that Le Pen won. lol.

It's like if this was the 2016 US map:
