results echo the national total pretty closely, 80%+ plus turnover is very impressive - nearly 30% for the anti europe "extremes" of right and left is in one respect scary, but from the french people I talk to it seems to me the french use the first round for the heart, since no-one ever wins outright and then the second for their head. If Hollande wins and does even part of what he has said he will (increase pensions, decrease the entitlement age and invest in public services) it will make a interesting comparison to the austerity measures in place in much of the rest of Europe.
