So we've got the result of the elections and although I don't vote, I like following elections which have been really interesting recently. We all remember Nicolas being elected as the republican monarch. We all know that he like tents in the Elysee garden he hates them when they belong to homeless people and sans papiers. But we knew that before. Now what is new is that he has been so much more interested in Ray Ban, Rolex and top models ( his new wife but also a guest from Israel) that we see a good abstention and not from the usual anarchists but from the right wing. 62% participation.

And the result are: 49% left wing 42% right wing...

Nicolas apparently heard the message. No more bling bling? No. A more securitarian policy to please the right. Can he read?

aye Devrim but that's beside the Modem ( center), the "extrem left", the independents and the extrem right...

I got plenty of various poles according of the size of the cities. Roughly now we can say that the left did over 51%. The LCR and other under 1%. The National Front is almost dead. The center is the center but did badly this time.

The LCR did relatively well I thought.

yes, the LCR did well and is to become the "real" left. They are the only credible ones on the left, really.

They'll earn a lot of cash from their election results, I never finished researching but I think their presidential results alone willl earn them 500000 euros a year in subsidies.

waoh! It would definitely cover their campaign(s)! Are you happy Delanoe is your major again? He the last major ( PS) had 5 mandates in a row. Now it is PS again but with another guy. Rennes will be socialist even when there will be no more socialist.

The CNT just got 1.5 million from the spanish state.

That was for stolen property though, not really the same.

The CNT and the LCR are just not the same, nothing to compare there. The LCR will get money each time they have a big enough score. That's electoralism.
