French presidential election, 2022

[LAB-LIB]

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say: phew! Not "woo-hoo!", but "phew!"

Is the expectation that Macron's coalition wins the most seats in the National Assembly but loses its majority?

To who lol

To no one, I was thinking hung parliament.

44% counted:

51.4% Macron
48.6% Le Pen

Where?!?!?!

So is this mostly the north of France outside of Paris where the votes have been counted?

Mostly rural France nationwide.

Yeah, I found some results and it looks that that is still the case. It looks like Paris hasn't reported any votes yet, so the margin will continue to widen.

Mostly rural France nationwide.

On that point, two more southern departments are joining Lozère:

Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: 51.45% Le Pen, 48.55% Macron. 67% voted for a candidate, and did not abstain or vote blanc.
Cantal: 56.1% Macron, 43.9% Le Pen. 69.43% voted for a candidate.

Thanks!

What do you guys think a Melenchon vs Le Pen runoff would have looked like?

I just realized that Le Pen's 41.5% of the vote, the third lowest share of the vote for a French Presidential runoff in history, being under Alain Poher's 41.8% in 1969, is remarkable because it means she just barely missed avoiding the fact that the three worst runoff performances have been from someone named Le Pen.
