Today was election day (first turn of the regional election).
It seems non voting was rather high (what a shame).

How do the regional elections work in the 5th??? French Republic?

Who is the winner? Right? Left? Center?

Today was election day (first turn of the regional election).

Curious question: Am I correct to assume that this election is indeed for the regional council(e.g. the Alsace region)?

Hessian you are right.

The first round did not go well (in my eyes) as less than 47% of those on the lists went to vote.

I will give you national results but let's say that of the 22 regions of Metropolitan France, 21 are likely to stay/go on the left and 1 might be kept by the right.

Extreme left 3.40%
Communists  (yes I know) 5.84%
Socialists 23,52%
Greens 12.18%
Other left 3.05%
Left Alliance 5.62   %
Others 1.88   %
Regional lists 0.75%
Centre-Right 4.20%
UMP (the Right movement leading the country for now) 26.02%
Other right 1.24%
National Front (extreme right) 11.24%
Other extreme right 0.89%

Second round, next Sunday.

Non voting is the 1st political movement and the only one who cannot be heard  >:(

Have you heard about a new "green" area in Las Vegas?
I saw it in a newspaper here but I didn't read this article yet.

I find it hard to believe that this is anything but ecotopians continued pursuit of a perpatual motion machine. My cousin lived out there for a number of years and he told me it was so dry that growing grass was nearly forbidden. People did it but the water used for such growth was outrageous.

I will take a look at it and see if I can find anything.

And today was the 2nd round of the elections.

And for the record, I could not vote as I was away (I came back 1 hour after the closing time) and had no one available to vote for me.

Results are:

- non voting 49% (of the total).
- in the French Main Land, 20 Regions remain on the left side, 1 becomes left-sided and 1 remains on the right side.
- in the 4 overseas regions, 2 are on the left side and 2 on the right one.

The main problem in Europe is the lack of a common language.
It is a strenght too as it gives us diversity and all and it is the result of history and the building of nations but sometimes you should try to speak in a language understood by others.

I imagine given time that a lingual evolution would emerge but given the insane stratification of today's politically correct society that seems impossible.

I doubt it.
Language have been around for centuries and no one in his right mind would agree on letting it go away (just look at the Flemish or the Catalans).

I doubt it too.
For example many children and/or grandchildren of Gastarbeiter still speak the language of their forefathers(turkish, italian and so on).

Just a question for you both. Do you see a few common words creeping into your own culture that were previously absent? I'm not saying everyone is just going to decide hey we are speaking X but I wouldn't be surprised if a few elements (words or phrases) appear universally.
