France 2017: Results Thread

[Zinneke]

How come Benoit Hamon did so well in Wallis & Futuna, and what I'm guessing is Rural New Caledonia?  I reckon it involves indigenous peoples rights, but my guess is as good as anyone else's.

Well Hash will know more so your best bet is his blog

But I was listening to France Culture's billet politique and the chroniqueur was saying that the Outre-Mère has a much more region-specific vote than Hexagone (i.e its a sociologist's dream rather than a political scientist's). So local PS candidates help their candidate even when its looking that bad.

The only department that currently has Mélenchon leading is Dordogne, Mayenne for Fillon

I found a commune in metropolitan France with Hamon in the lead: http://graphics.france24.com/resultats-1er-tour-election-presidentielle-2017/

Yes, I found a few in Haute-Garonne high in the Pyrenees. Amusingly, one Hamon commune borders a Lassalle commune, and, in two of them, Le Pen got zero votes. A different political world from the rest of France...

I realize now that my link is broken. I was looking at Nouvelle-Aquitaine > Landes  > Saint-Aubin

That's another one! And Larbey, which borders it, also voted for Hamon. Not as mountainous or tiny as my examples, either, though all with three-digit populations.

Not sure, but it's interesting how well Le Pen did in parts of NC. Could be foretelling of the upcoming independence referendum.

The national front is strongly against the referendum and possible independence. The Republicans are against independence as well.

To answer why Hamon did so well:

Republicans and FN combined for about 60% of the vote, with Hamon at about 10%. Only about 57% of New Caledonians voted for a candidate, however. The high abstention rate does make it a bit difficult to draw any conclusions about next year's referendum.

Edit: The Hamon areas have high levels of abstention. Not sure if we can really get anything out of the results at first glance. Next year should be interesting. We might get UN member state #194.

Mélenchon is still not giving up. Politico.eu says that his campaign's polls say he is within one point of Le Pen.

Where can I find the national tally? Maybe I'm blind but it's not on Le Point.

I admit defeat for Melenchon, but I'm still hoping he can beat Fillon.

How many write ins in the second round for Méluche.

Boy that'd be glorious.

Interestingly, the one Department she won last time was Gard with 25% of the vote - she's getting 30% there this time (a kind of marginal improvement and fits in with the national average). Comparatively, Melenchon shot up 9% in the same area from 13% to 22%. It fits in with what they did but I've seen harder swings to Le Pen elsewhere and seems to fit with the narrative that there are areas where Le Pen's support is being eaten up somewhat by Melenchon.

Hollande got >50% in Réunion in the 1st round. That's a huge collapse.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I don't care. I'm so proud to be in the 6% who made the right choice. The 94% can go screw themselves.

"I don't care.  I'm proud to be in the 1% who made the right choice.  The 99% can go screw themselves." - every Jill Stein voter

This is a very stupid comparision. France had two-rounds voting system.

Not really given that there was some real uncertainty about whether Macron (the only pro-EU candidate) was going to make it to the run-off.  What matters most in this election is that France chooses a pro-EU candidate and Macron was the only electable one.

Sorry, I'm not going to vote for a f**king neoliberal investment banker piece of sh*t just because he's ~pro-EU~

"Sorry, I'm not going to vote for a f**king neoliberal third way piece of sh*t just because she's ~not Trump ~ " - Stein voters everywhere

EDIT: Just saw you're at least gonna vote for Macron in the run-off (admittedly horrible, but obviously infinitely preferable to Le Pen), so I guess it's not quite as bad as the Stein folks.

Swings in the south seem to be weaker for Le Pen. She barely gained in Lozere and Aveyron.
