Re: French election early results thread (none / 1)

Sum of 6 left-of-PS candidates (Greens, Communists, Bové, Trots): 11.05%
Sum of 3 right-of-Sarko candidates: 15.66%

One would really hope that half of Le Pen's voters go home or vote Ségo...

You cannot count (none / 1)

Le Pen's voters as part of the right like the "rest of the left" can be counted in the left. It really does not behave the same way.

Re: You cannot count (none / 1)

So a core of Le Pen's voters will swing the coalition to the Left and a victory for Sego?

That's going to be fun to watch. :)

Le Pen voters (4.00 / 3)

are to a large extent disinfranchised blue collar voters. if they feel that Royal is listening to them, it's not absurd to see some of them coming back into the fold (Le Pen is strongest where the communist party used to be strong).

I.e., working-class authoritarians. The middle-class authoritarians are already voting for Sarkozy.
