"Intrinsic" is a very important-sounding word.

Chicken posted:Why isn't French Guiana on these maps? I thought it was an intrinsic part of France... Because they're not a normal regional government. Corsica shouldn't be on these maps either for the same reason but it's right there so why not.

A comparison of first round results in the 2010 regionals and this year. Note the correct 5 department Brittany each time.

 Left: fans of "Secret Story" Right: election results Source: http://nordpresse.be/etrange-correlation-entre-le-vote-fn-et-les-fans-de-secret-story/ Also relevant:  People without a degree are more likely to vote for FN.

Deltasquid posted:People without a degree are more likely to vote for FN. That's how the BNP ran their populism in their dubious council heyday, and it works because there's no left alternative promising the same amount of hope on lines of class instead of race/ethnicity/nationality with a thin veneer of class consciousness.

Guavanaut posted:Does the FN promise to do more for people (white or native or indigenous or whatever BS divisive term they use) who have been poo poo on by recession and job markets and the general failures of neoliberalism than the other parties? I'm not French but from what I've gathered, yes. Although of course they don't need to use a dogwhistle term. Some of their members just screech "France is a Christian country!" on tv. The PS in France is just wrecked because of Hollande's poo poo presidency and the ever climbing unemployment rate.

Sure, they're promising pretty much everything. Higher minimum wage, retirement at 60, whatever you could want. Studies have shown that most of their voters have no idea whats in their program though. Just like Marion Maréchal-Le Pen

Remember this map from GeaCron? Looks like someone else had a similar idea but wanted it to look more Paradox-esque. Warning: My old laptop couldn't handle it well... just like a Paradox game.

My best guess is that they forgot to include all the provinces they meant to when they moved past a specific date, e.g. after 1865 they forgot to give North Carolina and such back to the US.

Yeah, that seems to be it, there's just little remnants of historical colonies all over the place. I really wish it was editable because I want to fix it.

My guess is he's trying to import actual history files from Paradox games, but they don't match up with whatever version of the map he's using.

I'm even less happy with how the representatives of all the remaining left-wing parties voted for this state of emergency like lemmings. Putting people under house arrest for the flimsiest of reasons (read: they're Muslims) and banning demonstrations is textbook authoritarian. And those aren't court decisions either, it's all in the hands of local police authorities. Just last week, the minister in charge had to remind them to follow the law because the widespread abuse started to become too visible. Now the police is making noise to have the government ban TOR, VPNs and public WiFi, and make everyone hand over their encryption keys. Insane. Meanwhile the Greens are upset because some of their people got caught in it as well. They better start yelling at their idiot representatives. Anyway, here's a map of the regional election weighted by number of registered voters:  Paris is an island of relative sanity in a sea of poo poo.

Everyone's freaking out about the FN, but they're going to be destroyed in the second round, when lots of socialists hold their nose and vote for the conservative parties. I imagine in some places where its closer, a lot of conservative-leaners will vote for socialists over FN too.

Ras Het posted:Counting down the seconds until Soviet Commubot tells us what Liste Regionale is in Breton and how the translation is inaccurate. It's actually liste regionaliste in French, which is a reasonable collective name for groups like Femu Corisca, Unser Land and such. The list in Brittany was called "Oui la Bretagne" and "Breizh evel just" (Brittany of course) as a reference to the Scottish referendum. Given that they're autonomists instead of separatists it's a pretty bad case of mixed messaging and characteristic of the godawful campaign they led. It's unsurprising that the only people that really seemed to vote for it are Troadec's little fief in and around Carhaix. I'm sure the fact that Le Drian (PS) didn't even campaign at all as he's busy doing defense minister stuff stings pretty hard, for both Troadec and Le Fur, the LR candidate. Sorry it took me so long to respond to the Breton signal, I don't work at a computer like most goons seem to.

In Corsica there's two regionalist lists, Femu A Corsica (autonomists means "Make Corsica" in Corsica), who came in second. Their head of list is mayor of Bastia, which is one of the big city of the island. The other list is Corsica Libera (separatist, it means "Free Corsica"). You can see that the regional parties are more popular in the North.
