There really are some dumb eejits on social media. Lost count of the number of people raging at the stealing of the election because RN were the biggest party in round 1 but not in round 2. It's the way the French system works. A candidate needs 50%+ to win a seat in round 1. Only 76 of the 577 seats were decided after round 1. Round 2 sees fewer candidates. Often just the top 2 go through to round 2. There's the odd 3 way fight and a couple of 4 way fights in round 2. Centrum and Left parties withdrew candidates in some districts and asked their supporters to vote for whichever of the left/centre candidates was still in the race.

Result? Le Pen's party got far less seats then they expected. Their vote was, IIRC, 10.6M in round 1, 10.1M in round 2. Not a surprise as Their opposition helped one another to keep Le Pen out. Coalition formed before the vote rather than after it. 13% of the seats had been sorted in round 1 so there was no 2nd round in those districts.

I have explained that on a couple of the posts. Nobody has, as yet, replied. Possibly because they now understand the system and din't when they went off on one.

Are supporters of the right less well educated? Looking at the number of would/could/should OFs in their posts and the transposing of their/there/they're, they probably are less well educated.
