European Tribune - Comments - French 2007 legislative elections round 2

French 2007 legislative elections round 2 | 117 comments (117 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

A CSA poll says that more than 50% of votes went to the left on second round.

At Paris, one right candidate was elected a bit close to 50% (Tiberi 52.66%, former mayor of Paris) so these may go to the left at municipal election next year.

Re: Votes (none / 1)

Of course, with 109 right wing MPs elected in the first round, the more strongly right wing districts didn't vote, so having over 50% left wing votes in the second round isn't that surprising.

Re: Votes (none / 0)

It's very far from the polls for second round, that's why it's an interesting data point.

Re: Votes (none / 0)

This result makes it seem the French opinion has started waking up, and that soon the état de grâce will be over. This could mean a very interesting autumn.
