France 2017: Results Thread

[JerryArkansas]

LFA spokeswoman on France 2 claims Mélenchon can still make it through the big city vote. Of course that's bullsh*t.

Are the exit polls that precise? Only 2 points seperate the JLM and Le Pen in some exit polls.

They are estimates based on key votes in the rural areas, not an exit poll

Not just rural, but all areas of France, including his so-called strongholds in big city's.

Le Pen is preferable to Macron, honestly.

So racist holocaust revisionism is better for you.  Vile person to think that.

Oh God, they're singing the anthem now.

The Macron camp was waiving flags, must be horrifying for US Left-Wingers :-D

Patriotism triggers them.

Meanwhile at the 2016 DNC...

Don't burst the right wing bubble.

Macron threatens to leave the debate tomorrow if Le Pen is too aggressive.

Oh God, that would be PATHETIC.

What a sh*tty f**king choice we have. I think I'd rather have Chirac again.

Pure-Leftist hits again.

Thank God Macron is winning over Neo-Nazi Marine LePen.

Pathetic and hilarious.

Macron will destroy the country entirely, if this is even possible anymore given the state of France.

If the nazi doesn't like him I defiantly like him

Incredible how well Norbert Hofer did compared with that woman.

If Chancellor Faymann didn't resign a few days earlier, then ...

No reason to eyeroll. Think about it: He lost with 49.7% of the vote and if unpopular Faymann didn't step down, he might have won. Well, not might have, he would have.

Not questioning your logic, just the placement of such analysis is strange as usual in a non-Austrian related thread.

Only because it's relevant. People compare it all the time with Trump and Brexit, so a Hofer-comparison is also legitimate.

Its not.  You don't have to compare everything which occurs to what has occurred in Austria.

What's up with Aisne swinging hard right? Hollande won it by 5 points but Le Pen leads by 11, but there's still a lot of vote to count.

This runoff is not between the left and the right.

I'm just trying to understand why the only three departments Le Pen is currently leading in also happen to be places where Hollande won.

Because many voters would prefer a left-winger to a right-winger but prefer a candidate like Panzergirl to one like FBM. There's nothing strange about that.

Yeah there are many strange things about that.  I guess some on the french left just like racist propaganda.
