Reuters reports French far right fails to win any regions: election exit polls By Ingrid Melander and Michel Rose Reuters Sun Dec 13, 2015 Marine Le Pen’s National Front failed to win any regions in French elections on Sunday as Socialist tactical voting handed power in its three main targets to the conservatives of ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, exit polls showed. Sarkozy’s The Republicans and center-right allies took 57.5 percent of the vote in the northern region against Le Pen’s 42.5 percent, the Ifop Fiducial poll for iTELE, Paris Match and Sud Radio showed… In the southeast, another FN target where Marechal-Le Pen was the FN’s lead candidate, the conservatives scored 54.5 percent and the FN 45.5, the poll said. In the eastern region, where the Socialists did not withdraw but where the FN also did well in the first round, the center right won 48.4 percent against the FN’s 36.4 percent, according to a separate poll by TNS-Sofres- One Point. Steve Sailer predicted and explained this result on Saturday in The Odds Against Le Pen It’s basic median voter theorem: in a two party race, it’s hard for the right to beat the center-right. The French Cuckservative leader Nicholas Sarkozy sounded not entirely happy …calling the strong FN showing a “warning sent to all politicians, ourselves included, in the first round…We now have to take the time for in-depth debates about what worries the French…” he said, citing Europe, unemployment, security and identity issues. Surprisingly, despite a tendentious headline, the dogmatically leftist BBC allowed a penetrating and astute comment by their Paris correspondent, Hugh Schofield There can be no hiding that the results of the elections are a big personal blow to Marine Le Pen… But in a way that suits her fine. Because what it all means is that nothing in France has changed. The two main parties continue sharing out the goodies (in this case deliberately conniving to keep hers as well). Meanwhile unemployment rises; terror stalks; the grim insurrectionary mood continues to spread. Marine’s prospects for power may be limited, but her appeal is as strong as ever for France’s growing numbers of disgruntled and disaffected. That French “ouf” of relief? It’s also the noise you make when you get a fist in the abdomen. Quite likely this will cost Schofield his job.

You can ignore and suppress the people's concerns for a long time. But over time the ranks of the disaffected grow and grow. And eventually, when they are the majority, you try to ignore them for the last time. But they will not be ignored. So you try to suppress them. And then you discover that they are the majority, and include people within your own ranks. And then your system of law and government is swept away, not according to YOUR rules, but according to the rules of those who are more powerful than you. Generally speaking, this is a good time for you to leave the country, and usually they will let you out with your lives, but never with your property. They keep that. And because of your long tenure, you've accumulated a lot of it. This has been the pattern again and again...in England, in America, in France, in Russia, in Mexico, in China, in Southeast Asia, in Cuba, and again and again and again. What's surprising is that nobody in power ever seems to learn from it. For example: Sarkhozy says "We now have to take the time for in-depth debates about what worries the French". Those debates will be held, but the positions of the two sides are fundamentally incompatible, and demand concessions neither will make. So it has to end with Sarkozy's side declaring their victory and continuing with what they want to do.

This has been the pattern again and again...in England, in America, in France, in Russia, in Mexico, in China, in Southeast Asia, in Cuba, and again and again and again. Acute observation. What's surprising is that nobody in power ever seems to learn from it. I disagree on this. Royalty and those in power have been escaping with their ill-gotten gains for centuries,and they are still doing it. The most recent example that comes to mind are a former president of Mexico (Bush Crime Family Goombas) that fled Mexico ahead of arrest and gained asylum in France after they were discovered to be receiving pay-offs from a drug cartel. IIRC,they also managed to steal a couple of billion from the Mexican treasury on their way out the door. This is who JEB's wife was visiting in Paris when she was busted for trying to smuggle jewelry and furs into the US without paying customs dues on them.
