France's Far-Right Nationalist Party Swings From First To Worst; "Routed' In Regional Election Run-Off

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A week ago, fear was tangible as France's far-right Front National party won an unprecedented 2 provinces in the nation's first elections since the Paris terror attacks. With 40% of the votes, Marine Le Pen's party dominated the mainstream political parties and status quo maintainers were beginning to quake. Now, a week later, with turnout surging from 50% to 59%, Front National has been "routed" according to AP, failing to win any regions.

 

  • *FRENCH NATIONAL FRONT FAILS TO WIN ANY REGIONS IN ELECTION
  • *FRENCH VOTER TURNOUT RISES TO ABOUT 59% VS ABOUT 50% LAST WEEK

As voters cast their ballots in the second-round runoff, Le Pen’s party is hobbled by a lack of allies from which it can draw fresh support. France’s two main parties are even working together in some districts to keep Le Pen out of power.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls, a Socialist like Hollande, said on Friday that he was “convinced” his party’s supporters would engage in tactical voting to defeat Le Pen. The Socialists pulled their party out of both races and it appears that many voters cast ballots to prevent the once-pariah National Front from gaining power.

It appears to have worked, as AP reports, pollsters project France's far right is routed in regional elections after winning 1st round...

 

Three polling agencies are projecting that anti-immigrant National Front has been routed in regional election runoffs despite dominating the first-round vote.

 

Party leader Marine Le Pen and her niece lost their bids to run two French regions in elections Sunday seen as an important test for the anti-immigrant party.

 

Polling agencies Ipsos, Ifop, TNS-Sofres projected that the opposition conservatives and governing Socialists won control of France's 13 regions.

 

They showed Le Pen won around 42 percent of the vote in the Nord-Pas de Calais region, and rival conservative Xavier Bertrand about 57 percent.

 

Le Pen's niece, Marion Marechal-Le Pen, was projected to win about 45 percent in the southern Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. Conservative Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi was projected to win about 55 percent.

How can this be? We ragheads go to great lengths to get you to kick us out and replace us with the gentle jwish folk who have so much more in common with your culture and have a lack of pigment which renders them unsuitable for the part of the country they believe they evolved in.

Is it not enough that we worship the devil, a pedophile, and mimic him by raping underage women inside our mosques on a daily basis? Do you really like the fact that your zionist governments are making it so easy for us to invade your countries.

For the sake of Jesus, start voting for some nationalist parties and stop supporting Zionism. I feel sorry for how it's allowing us to destroy your culture.

France has laid the temporary blueprint for keeping the right from power - run only one party against them. So the US is likely to get a Trump before they do, and we will be the first to cut off the flow of headchoppers. EU expects 4x, the flow of migrants next year, 3 million. So Europe will see an improvement here while they continue to flounder. They won't be able to keep the right from power forever.

It appears the multicultural elite must overplay their hand a bit further only now the stakes are higher.  Which means the blowback will be more vicious.  Good.  Let's see how they can float the sinking ship that is the EU, with a deflationary depression punching them in the face.  The public will blame the Islam apologist and elect those who will fix the problem.  Poor unemployed people being raped and murdered by another culture who sees them as disposable and subhuman will find a solution.  Sooner the better.  Hopefully the ignorant distracted muricans can be shocked out of their stupor by the bigoted intolerant death cult that is Islam.

From 20 to 40 is a big leap forward. Their opponents have not won, but merely bought a little time to produce some tangible results. Which they won't. Or they wouldn't be facing a 40% insurgency in the first place.

Not saying that FN wouldn't run the country into the ground as well. They would just do it a different way in all likelihood. It's still France and it has a date with dirt in any eventuality.

yes, there is the equivalent of Diebold machines in France, no, they are not deployed over the whole of France

Last info I have is that 82 "communes" use it, for a total of 1.4 million electors

for most French voters, this is is a picture of what they see when they vote:

France is a country with 300 kinds of cheeses and it gets cheesed off very fast when a neo-fascist cabal pretends its the "cat's whiskers" and gets its ass kicked by the sons of the Enlightenment.

Madonna came to PAris and sang : La vie en ROse, after the massacres/

I sing to her : Vive les amis de France des Lumières!

Santé!

You false nosed libertarians are heading to a similar denouement I do fear.

But I don't pretend to know how Nemesis will treat American neo-fascism, dressed up in " one man one gun and may the devil take the hindmost" type delusion. The future stays the future.

The Tylers picking sides wouldn't bode well for the "as we predicted" meme they keep putting up although they rarely predict anything if not the opposite of what actually happens at least as far as market movements are concerned.

I never down vote but I can't upvote u.

ZH is a blogsite that defends financial and geopolitical truth.

Now understanding "truth" is not easy. But being on both sides of the divide when basic truths are involved on History's EVIDENt timeline is not a sign of a truth loving mantra.

ZH has hangups about ideology : they are haunted by gold standard logic and by libertarian ideals to the point of being ANHISTORIC... and that is a fatal flaw. Maybe ZH does it for economic reasons. That I don't know.

As we all KNOW, THEORY WHATEVER ITS PREMISES, BOWS TO FACTS. And denying that is a regression that leads to obscurantist logic.

We see it all the time here : the deniability of people who start with a "theoretical" presumption; based on ingrained prejudice;  dressed up as IRREFUTABLE FACT : FDR and LIncoln, the sons of American statism....etc. etc. etc.

Lincoln and FDR were not Robespierre nor Stalin... People have to understand that there are two types of lies that society concocts  : Purity and corruption; aka Savonarole and Papal Indulgence to use the Catholic thread as the reference (just an example).

AS Aristotle said ; the golden mean between " Plato's ideals" and life's "stark reality" is what I use to define the course. Man is always looking for the golden mean to avoid Charybdis and Scylla...

Great mythology, defining the FIRST voyage to find "golden mean"....

The Tylers are ideologues when they try and predict the market; blind to its power structure's immense iron hold on society, as people who think they can bring it down. Tylers won't bring it down. But the Market's own momentum could. We don't know when. In the meantime people have gotten rich doing the opposite of what ZH kept preaching for ideological reasons. That is a fact. I don't blame them for searching for truth. But I would never follow their investment advice if I were a day trader!

I understood that very early on. So I understand your last line.

Its the leverage effect, like QE/ZIRP in the markets; HUge!

ok fine.  So you think the opposite.

In a way it makes little sense for an outsider (Le Pen) to fear European integration more than the incumbents of a very big and powerful country (who potentially stand to lose more power on a personal level).  Therefore let me postulate this slightly crazy theory : Le Pen is the elites' lapdog to scare Europeans into concessions.  (A few days ago Sigmar Gabriel already found it necessary to say that he warned Merkel about imposing austerity on France).  Note the similarity with Cameron's more overt "blackmail" tactics.  The British elites have a "fantastic" propaganda machine at their disposal and can sway the Brits any way they want to in a referendum on Europe, depending on which concessions they do or don't get.

Sharia forbids the election of any political officials who are anti muslim!

France is already deeper in the Sharia shithole than it's able to recognize! Two elitist established parties making backdoor deals to preven the anti muslim party. That is the spell of Sharia right there.

People too timid to support the one and only party that gives two shits about their own country are scared or in other words, they are intimidated.

I'm sure Madonna singing "Give Peace A Chance" is going to prevent the next attacks in 2016.

Possibly the most indoctrinated people and least concerned with its own survival ever. Not just in France.

The day of reckoning is coming anyway.

Losing elections is nothing new for Front National. They've been doing that for a long time. The point is that the changing mood as evidenced by FN's recent upswing in popularity isn't simply going to go away, and their fate does not hinge on this one election. It is relatively easy for the establishment to link elbows and hold off a challenger for another election cycle or two or three; the advantages of entrenched bureaucratic power are considerable. True change is generational in nature; as the keepers of the old flame retire and expire, their ranks are gradually replaced by those holding different attitudes. Front National has done an impressive job building the foundations of a future political sea change.

A mere ten years ago, the BBC described Jean-Marie Le Pen as an unimportant provincial troublemaker when he was polling at about 2%. Nobody can say that about FN now. It's only going to continue to build from here.

Those in power will do anything to keep the flow of Muslim invaders pouring into Europe. Le Pens party is the only one that opposses it. Its not much different from what the GOP is trying to do to defeat Trump and I expect they will do the same if Cruz continues to soar in the polls.

But the neo-con illiberal media hate the truth, so they call the left-wing socialist NF 'far-right'! Keep up the propaganda AP & Reuters and other lame media.

You just voted for more terrorists and more of the terror they do.

Just watched some filthy horse trading and dirty politics and socialists selling their souls to the devil.

Then get on with it - but next massacre - its right on the head of every french person who sold their soul today to stop the one and only party prepared to stand against the mass murder of french citizens.

What utter fools the French are - just lived right up to their reputation of cowardice and dirty dealing.

Are French Jews laughing? Beats crying, I guess. Marine Le Pen is the last hope of French Jewry.

Just possible Bibi is laughing. French Jews got one more reason to leave for Israel, where the Jewish faith is protected and the Muslim menace taken seriously. France's loss is Israel's gain in that department.

43% for the NF.  Not horrible  considering that they were getting 27% in the first round.  What I see is the far left -Holland etc.  (there is no moderate left, just as there are no moderate Muslims) is out of the game .  The next run for the presidency will probably bring Sarkozy back with the Front in second place.  The Muslim massacres will continue, in fact increase!!, and the typical French sheeple will get more frustrated that Obama, and the unicorns and rainbows  are not coming to the rescue. But they will never give in to apply the only solution (paying the Muslims to leave) as they have been too thoroughly trained to accept death (by Muslims) over dishonor (of being nasty folks who expel Muslims just because many (5-10%) are psychotics).

What's just happened in France?

I will not mention an obvious electoral fraud expressed by premature calls of the elitist French newspapers for conservative win just by the fact that after Socialists cowardly withdrew their candidates depriving their voters right to choose, the participation rate miraculously increased!!! by 10%.

That’s impossible. The participation rate should have decreased after socialists that voted last week were today impudently disenfranchised and most likely stayed home and did not vote for conservatives who openly want to take away their jobs.

With 50% French stayed home, since none of the parties represent their political opinions or aspirations, there is no shred of democratic process left in France or elsewhere including the US, especially since these elections were conducted under the state of emergency, massive arrests of politicians and activists and suppression of political activities after Paris attacks.

 

But one lesson from this is obvious namely corruptive and destructive, influence this farcical political and electoral sham has on people’s morality and dignity of independent individual human being placated with the lies about freedom and liberty by an abhorrent totalitarian regime in a Huxley style of Brave New World of 1984.

The act of voting in the current political system is nothing but morally corrupting tool that extorts from us an approval for the meaningless political puppets of the calcified regime, in a surrealistic act of utter futility aimed just to break us down, to break our sense of dignity, our individual will and self-determination since no true choice is ever being offered to us.

[.. An] Idea of political boycott and alternative political process is the only viable idea to express our political views that are absent from official candidates’ agendas and from the ballots. Let’s not be afraid, it was already successfully done in the past. It works.

dis-enfranchised means you are not allowed to vote, period. applying it to a political poll where one party withdraws it's candidates from the vote is more then wrong

It is a proportional vote so even if the president of each region will not be Nationalist, the Nationalists will have in most regions many members. They will be able to influence the debates even more. And step by step people are warming up to the fact that the Nationalists can govern. It is a loss compared to expectations of winning 2 regions but it is also a gain. 40 % is getting closer to a majority.

The French aren't hard up enough to elect the FN. Give them another 18 months.

And the French regions don't really have all that much power anyway, but are responsible for lots of operational things like public transport. Denying the FN any wins may have been a tactical mistake.

In order to steer off FN the French gave support to either Hollande or Sarkozy. Both these two have been engaged in wars in the ME. Thanks to them (and Mutti) Europe has to face influx of migrants from the ME. Among them are hiding ISIS and war criminals. It is ironic that in order to avoid one danger the French voted for another.

Mitterand changed the voting system back and forth so he could win. Le Pen has been stitched up. France is an oligarchy and will not permit outsiders to win power through ballots. They over-egged the pudding though and show the absurdity between rounds so much that French voters know they are prisoners unless they storm the Bastille. France has a history of violent change, not peaceful change. This place will go up like a torch especially now Hollande wants control of Internet and encryption.
