Talk:2015 French departmental elections

Parties in the Results section

As the president is a Socialist, the "Presidential Majority" is no longer in blue, moreover the Nouveau Centre equivalent is now the UDI. And the categories are no longer valid as with tickets of 2 candidates a large number of lists are mixed ones, PS-PRG, PS-MRC, EELV-FDG, EELV-PG, etc. The official labels given by the Interior Ministry (without any assent of the lists) considers as "Union of the Left" any ticket with a PS candidate and mostly a PRG, MRC or "divers gauche" (including regional parties like Corse social-démocrate) candidate, idem for the "Union of the Right", UMP + UDI, Modem or "divers droite". This will make it impossible to give global percentages, and very difficult to count the councillors by parties. Anyway many campaign flyers don't mention a partisan affiliation, as for previous cantonal or municipal elections, to encourage people to vote across the parties borders. --Minorities observer (talk) 21:13, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

The percentages given in the results now add to 91.08%, which may be down to this problem. Banak (talk) 04:07, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

they left out the second list of the left Union de la Gauche 8.17, Extreme left with 0.07, Union du Centre 0.29, and Debout la France (right-wing) with 0.4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.53.16.30 (talk) 23:51, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

"Single-member districts"

While two candidates may be elected on the same ticket/in pairs, I'm a bit confused why "single-member district" is used to describe the cantons. A single-member district is quite literally one in which a single candidate is elected. These appear to be multi-member districts/elections regardless of how those nominees are elected.
