My GF helped counting the vote in a small village near Lille, lots of vote for MLP even if it's not really a surprise.

But I think her score will be less important when the results form the big cities will come.
 
Here we go.

Question: if you add all left-wing parties and all right-wing parties, doesn't that put Sarkozy in a good position for the 2nd round?

Potential votes for Hollande Hollande + Mélenchon + Joly + Poutou + Arthaud = 29.3 + 11 + 2 + 1 + 0.5 = 43.8 %

Potential votes for Sarkozy: Sarkozy + Dupont-Aignan = 26 + 2 = 28 %

Unsure: Bayrou, Le Pen
Irrelevant: Cheminade

Voters of Bayrou may vote either for Hollande or Sarkozy. Voters of Le Pen might equally vote for Sarkozy or not vote. If Sarkozy gets most votes from Bayrou and Le Pen, he might be elected but I wouldn't bet on it.

The thing is that ~half of the FN voters will probably not vote for the 2nd round, so the real game changer will again be Bayrou.

But nothing will be played before next week's debate, Sarkozy will be on full attack mode, Hollande will need to be strong or he will lose the election.

Imagine 1 in 5 UK voters deciding to vote for the BNP.

That would probably result in a hung parliament depending upon where the BNP voters would have voted before, then the other parties would be forced to form a coalition against the BNP.

Juste woke up to the results. No real surprise there, it's the order predicted by the polls. Still a bit disappointed though.

France has always had a small but devoted core of fascists; Marine Le Pen is of a political continuity with Pétain.

The FN has obvious racist undertones, but let's not oversimplify things. It's more a populist party, and there are all kind of people among its voters. I had a discussion with my young cousins a few months ago, and they were saying that they considered voting for LePen because "at least they could understand what she was saying" (they're not very educated, but no less than most of the population). It appeals to people for all kind of reasons : anti-elitist, anti-EU, and of course anti-immigration.
 
By my post history, I am clearly a racist too am I right?
I just don't like people who spit on other people opinion and democracy.
If you believe there is more than eight millions people who are racist, stupid and dangerous in France, you clearly live in another dimension.



And smh at people saying marine lepen is fascist.. Wtf are wrong with you?
There is nothing in common between the nazis and the fn.

On Friday the 27th of January, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, the candidate of the French National Front at the presidential election, in response to an invitation from the FPÖ, the Austrian far-right party, attended the most controversial ball in the world, where each year Holocaust deniers receive standing ovations.

Yeah sure
 
Aren't all communists in favor of the dictatorship of the proletariat, class struggle and the division of the country between the bourgeois and the revolutionaries?

Yes, if by 'communists' you mean 'Marxist-Leninists' (a specific flavor of socialism), but I don't see "death camps" on this list.

My point isn't that there are labor camps in France, but that communists do not respect minorities by definition and are always looking for traitors. If Mélenchon were elected, maybe Jews would not be persecuted first but other minorities would.

Mélenchon (and other left wing candidates embraced diversity and immigration a lot of times during the campaign.

You're about an inch away from 'The Nazis were actually leftists because they had 'socialist' in the name of the party.' Absurd.
