[French Election] Strange vote transfers

Edit: Sorry, wrong thread
(edited 6 years ago)
Where and when was this from and how was the poll conducted?

It could be a mistake. The voter might have misheard the question or answered incorrectly. Very insignificant though.

They could have been tactical voters who wanted to secure a Macron-Le Pen run off, perhaps thinking that Le Pen would have a chance against Macron. Likewise you have a couple of voters who will go from Le Pen to Macron.
Mélenchon and his followers are eurosceptics, so could be swayed to vote for Le Pen.

Macron is an aristocrat swimming in Rothschild money, and I'm sure pointing this out would help too.

No, the tactical voters would have gone for Melenchon or Fillon.


You don't know that. They could have just been wrong.

Who the hell votes Macron in the 1st round, then Le Pen in the 2nd?



About 7% of people who voted UKIP in the 2015 general election voted Remain and 2% of those who still identify as UKIP supporters voted Remain.

What about David Harding the Conservative candidate in the recent NI Assembly elections for East Belfast? The transfers from his 219 votes were 5 Green, 2 People Before Profit, 2 Independent Nationalist, 31 Alliance, 4 Sinn Fein, 6 SDLP and the rest to various sorts of Unionist. Who thinks "if I can't have the Tory, the Trotskyite is the next best"

Ruth Wilson stood in East Antrim for Traditional Unionist Voice. Do the 2 of her supporters who transferred to Sinn Fein or the 20 who switched to the SDLP just think that sectarian politics is what made Ulster great and should be preserved?
