French regional election - December 6 and 13, 2015

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Wait, why are EELV running with FG? Is this just a regional thing, or part of a trend away from PS?

Have Modem and the remaining independent centrists completely given up?

It's interesting that three member run-offs are going to be the norm, apparently.

I know it's probably a bit grim to start talking about these elections now, but how big an impat do you think the latest horrors will have?

How powerful would panzerbabby and panzergirl be as "region presidents" or whatever? I understand the regions aren't exactly that autonomous, so they wouldn't have the capacity to do anything too nasty, right?

The trouble is with pan-national trends is you have to draw with incredibly broad strokes, otherwise every sentence you say will be burried under asterisks. Yes, you can daw up a General narrative comprising, among other things, the SNP, the South China Sea, Flanders, Make America Great Again, Artur Mas, Crimea, Tsipras, Panzergirl, Shinzo Abe, the Pan-Green coalition, Gerry Adams, Kurdistan, the Islamic Calpihate and how they were each prompted by certain contexts of contemporary times; but it probably won't be very useful. Even if you limit it to the various nationalists that have sprouted in the Eurozone the best you can say is "Brussels screwed up as per usual in regards to the euro and the refugee crisis, and caused an upsurge in nationalist sentiment rooting from each nation's unique tradition and character'. And even then I would be wary of drawing pan-national trends even as broad as that. It's not like upswings in nationalism and anti-immigration sentiment has been completely foreign until the last half-decade.
