Also according to wiki, in 2004 the south had more violent crimes per 100,000 people than the areas on the map that are blue. Turns out poverty, no minimum wage, and loose gun laws don't cause crime to drop; (darker means more crime per 100,000) E: To be fair though, there are some pretty dark regions on that map that were blue on the map from facebook, including Maryland and DC. The idea that only the blue regions on the map had criminals is ridiculous but I suppose it would be unfair to imply that crime is only a problem in one of the two map's regions. burnishedfume fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Mar 21, 2013 |

This map always makes me want this other NYT map to be used to redistrict our states by population: Let's live in N/S Cascadia, Blue Mexico, Cottonbelt, South Texas, New New England, Windy City, and Hawaii. Just imagine how good the exchange rate between $USD and LibertopiaBux will be!

To be fair the urban/rural divide is hardly unique to America, just look at the UK electoral maps posted earlier, the Blue constituencies of the Conservative Party tend to be the large rural ones while most of the tiny little red urban ones vote Labour. The exceptions to the rule being Wales and Scotland which have nationalist parties added to the mix. Scotland in particular is interesting with it's almost complete lack of Conservative seats. Then there's northern Ireland which could probably have a whole post of its own. For example, UK 2010 Electoral Map:

Well at least it's good to hear there's no BNP constituencies; I know they're a fringe group anyway but when I see black on an electoral map I think far-right.

I'd be interested to know how that breaks down along urban/suburban lines. Here in Canada, the Conservatives do well in rural and suburban ridings, the Liberals do well in urban and suburban ridings and the NDP (socialist, but not really) do well in urban and rural ridings. Here's the 2011 election:  You can see in Toronto and Vancouver centers of NDP/Liberal surrounded by Conservative suburbs. The urban/rural divide that's present in the US isn't nearly as clear in Canada.

DrProsek posted:Ahhh, Our FPTP system means it's incredibly hard for new parties to get anywhere (the Greens have one seat but they had to throw most of their resources at that one IIRC and they're nowhere near a breakthrough anywhere else). It's poo poo but the upside is that a BNP constituency was never very likely even at their height and since 2010 they've more or less fallen apart tothe point where they're planning to collect and sell scrap metal to stay afloat. far-right even if they're not necessarily fascist.

  Does anyone with more knowledge of French culture, politics, etc. explain why along the Garonne there are more far-right wingers? Sort of acts as a boundary or insular area between two that voted more along Socialist lines.

Sort of acts as a boundary or insular area between two that voted more along Socialist lines. Actually, the Front National has traditionally enjoyed its strongest support in PACA and Languedoc-Rousillon, both in the south of the country. This is where most of the European colonists settled after independence of North African colonies, especially Algeria in 1962. These same regions also have the highest rates of Muslim immigration from those former colonies. The pieds-noirs have always had a strong right-wing tendency, and heavy immigration has also resulted in a right-wing populist reaction. You see similar FN support among white voters in the banlieues of Paris and Lyon, and I assume it's the same sort of thing around Bordeaux.

Soviet Commubot posted:French election maps from the first round of the 2012 election. Basically, Alsace and the whole northeastern edge of the Hexagon are terrible while Paris, Brittany, the French Basque country and some weird area to the southeast of Limoges are pretty cool. Why would you equate the Socialistes/François Hollande with "cool" and "goodness", that's a really stupid thing to say.

Clearly gay curiosity is the driving force of a high human development index, and the development of the South could be improved via sponsored hot gay sex commercials. There's probably a correlation:causation fallacy in there somewhere, but it couldn't hurt to try it anyway.

To add my two cents; warning: an absolutely selfish reason for GLBLT (gay lesbian bacon lettus tomoato) acceptance follows. I think any progression of rights and acceptance helps us all. I'm sure if I lived somewhere where gay and acronym people were not accepted my fat white unmarried lazy rear end would be not accepted too. I'm happy for society to move the 'goal posts' for acceptance away from my front lines towards whatever anyone wants. Thus its fundamentally a better place to live where gay (and GLPaT, gay lesbian pesto and turkey) people are accepted; because acceptance is just awesome all around. I apologize if this post upsets anyone: I'm pretty hungry. Its kinda like the whole "First they came for the communists..." thing, but hungrier. And less communist (sorry D&D).
