It is with a heavy heart that I read this mornings results for the departmental elections. The Front National - the Le Penist lot - won in Esperaza.
Very small margins; 285 people voted for her lot, 242 for the socialists, 210 for the UMP( plus 37 Blanc - a protest vote - and 31 Nul - a cock-up)
Only 56.81% of the population turned out which is both bad and good. Bad because it indicates they don't care. Good because actually the departmental layer of administration isnt taken very seriously and there have been calls to disband it.
So perhaps the whole thing is a sort of protest against the Hollande administration.
Not a hatred of foriegners.
