Sorry to ask, but I'm too lazy to look through all 57 pages.  What is a link for the vote count?

While everybody wastes time with boring French abroad results, here's a very important map: Jospin 1995 vs Hollande 2012



What did I say? Le Havre-Meaux-St. Etienne-Perpignan. That's the new axis.

Massif gains.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Pretty remarkable given how important the Catholic/Anti-Clerical divide was a primary electoral cleavage, isn't it?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Where exactly did this divide lie and when? I'm not terribly familiar with French demographics, beyond urban/rural and racial minorities.

Yep. Now the left should advocate returning to medieval borders. Also, the PS could rename themselves Partiac Socialistac. OK, I know this was a bad joke.

Fascinating indeed. But very similar to Panzergirl's map, of course.
What I find very interesting is that the socialist candidate is down not only in Lot-Et-Garonne and Tarn-et-Garonne, but also in the 3rd ring of Toulouse suburbs. Sure, Jospin was more or less the favourite son there, but still.

As for Loir-et-Cher and, what is more, Indre-et-Loire, I'm a bit surprised.
Conversely, Manche, especially, but also Maine-et-Loire and Mayenne are awful for Sarkozy. Idem for Pyrenees-Atlantiques... and Cantal and Haute-Loire (but for the last 2, we've got a stupid favourite son effect.

As for "axis", guys, there are none, basically.
Seine-et-Marne is more and more Paris suburbs and so is tilting towards the left, but all the great Parisian Basin is turning or remaining rightist.

Yet the massif phenomenon is something, isn't It?

[big bad fab]

While everybody wastes time with boring French abroad results, ...

Quite true
Still, there are 2 results that have come as a shock for me: Holande has won Japan and, what is more, the UK !!!

And Sarkozy strong again in Brazil is still a mystery for me.

[Hatman 🍁]

Calgary is the only city in Canada to go for Sarkozy. No surprise.

[Sbane]

San Francisco and Berkeley go for Hollande. The Santa Clara valley and Southern California go for Sarkozy. Expected.

In India Sarkozy carries Bangalore and loses by a small margin in the other big cities. Loses big in Pondicherry. Again, expected.

Don't ask me. But I would relate with our media.

Nice photo album from Le Monde

left-wing French girls

And LOL at the people waving those huge Irish flags right infront of the stage.

They're not Irish flags, but rather those of Côte d'Ivoire - Francophone Africa will have given some attention to the results.

Ha! Daily Mail columnist and generally terrible person Richard Waghorne (who harkened back to the proud roots of the Mail by endorsing LePen) was whining on Twitter about the "Irish" flags been flown.
