Final vote count, according to Libé, 23% counted:

Sarko 29.68%
Royal 27.43%
Bayrou 18.40%
Le Pen 9.71%
Besancenot 4.17%

Neither Paris & surrounding regions nor Southeast reporting yet.

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

I find that Sarko and Le Pen are particularly strong on the parts counted on both sides of the Vosges and on Corsica. Is this strong right-wing tendency there a longer trend?

I remember reading about the conservative tendencies of Corsica some years ago.

Short answer for a simple question:
Yes.

See the 2002 map: (4.00 / 2)

Blue : Chirac first
Brown: Le Pen first
Pink: Jospin first
Orange: hunters' candidate first

Thanks; in the meantime, I saw that in Guerby's thread.

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

Now I get it. Libé made it a policy to only publish final counts, more precisely, final counts per département. So, now they are at 43%, with Sarko at 29.91% and Ségo at 26.34%. Of the results so far, I found it most interesting that Le Pen's votes are higher in the Northeast than the so far counted parts of the Southeast, with 17.00% in Haute-Marne the highest. Also, Villiers is double-digit solely in the Vendée (where he obviously took Le Pen's voters).

57%, Sarko 29.71% to Ségo 25.80%. Bayrou topped the chart in Basque land (Pyrénées-Atlantiques). Still involves no results from around Paris, the Riviera, the environs of the Belgian brder, Lyons, and many others.

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

It's 65% now, and 29.90%:25.72%, with only Paris, the Riviera, the surroundings of Strasbourg and Lyons, and 4-5 others remaining. So, was Paris as much pro-Sarko as the preliminary count in the other subthread shows, or the Riviera?

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

Forgot Aisne département (North of Paris) tops the Le Pen vote with 17.28%.

Southern Corsica (37.54% and Upper Savoy (37.47%) top the Sarko vote. Ariège (Pyrénées, South of Toulouse, probably includes afew) tops the Royal vote with 35.00%. Bayrou 'won' in Pyrénées-Atlantiques with 29.61%.

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

PACA is right; in Ile de France, the suburban departments of the outer ring are Sarkozy strongholds; city of Paris will be for Royal (though not massively due to right-wing strongholds in western half of the city). Greatest interest will be to see how big a margin Royal wins by in the former red-belt communes, which are what is usually meant by journalists referring to "banlieux."

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

With 99 of 100(?) départements reporting, it stands:

Sarko 30.84%
Royal 25.98%
Bayrou 18.50%
Le Pen 10.71%
Besancon 4.23%

If that one remaining is Paris and goes to Royal as you say, good news.

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

No. Paris goes Sarko! And that 35.07% to Royal's 31.75%.

Barring some big campaign miralce, or a deal with Bayrou, I see President Sarko....

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

How could anyone who was OK with Sarkozy have not chosen him in the first round? There is nothing ambigious about his position. I look forward to the debate which I feel will make a big difference in the outcome.

Paris is right wing : the mayor is PS only because the right wingers are very concentrated in the western arrondissement.

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

Yes, I got that wrong in my comment upthread. I had hoped that the big turnout and strong anti-Sarko sentiment in the eastern arrondissements might have given her a plurality.

For the second round, Paris is a place where Royal is likely to pick up a larger share of Bayrou's vote, esp in the eastern arrondissements where he scored in the high teens.
