Just as in real life I had planed to run as Bertrand as an independent right-wing candidate. He is currently running under the label divers droite.

Hestia Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Okay if I've got this right, out of the major candidates we're missing Macron. If necessary, I can do him by myself. Macron - Open Le Pen - @Pringles Sarkozy (Republicans) - @WVProgressive Melenchon - @Rezi Hamon (Socialist) - @Rodja (glad to see you again!) Jadot - @The Blood Bigard (independent - if I'm right) - @Beetlejuice Bertrand (independent) - @ConservativeElector2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConservativeElector2 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yeah I am going to run under the label ''Miscellaneous right'' which seems to be the correct translation of this particular French thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one news I have not included in the above message 😛 On June 13th and 21st 2021 there are regional elections in France (the last vote before the presidential election), In Real Life Xavier Bertrand ( @ConservativeElector2) told that he would put his legitimacy as presidential candidate in his re-election as president of his region (N-Pas de Calais-P), you are free to decide if you want to start before june 2021 and to play regional elections directly or to go after and act like if regional elections results were already decided ! Here are the last regional elections from 2015 Pink = Left-wing coalition Blue = Right-wing coalition Yellow = Nationalists-Autonomists of Corsica Edited April 9, 2021 by Edouard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConservativeElector2 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Bertrand could also abandon his re-election ambitions in order to focus solely on the presidential race 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hestia Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 CAMPAIGNING CYCLE BEGINS FOR FRANCE 2022 MARINE LE PEN LEADS PRELIMINARY POLLS Polling suggests that Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron would meet for a rematch of 2017 this time around in 2022. But this time, it looks like National Rally's Marine Le Pen enters the cycle with an advantage over her rival in the first round. However, a legion of smaller candidates trails them by single digits. Le Pen leads the field with Macron close behind, followed by Sarkozy, Melenchon and Jadot, and further behind them is Bertrand, Hamon, and Brigard. However, with the right moves, any of them could snatch away a vital spot held by the incumbent president or Le Pen. Only time will tell. Background Info on the RP itself For sake of events: do 3 events, in whatever style you should wish. Quick shot is accepted, but if longer events are wanted, they will be rolled the same as the others. Here are the regions in which you can campaign in. You can also campaign in overseas territories held by France, but they have much less population, so be warned on that front. I don't have accents so sorry Ed 😞 But they are Reunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Corsica (on the pic as well), French Guiana, and Mayotte. You can visit any of those 18 areas and receive polls for them. We won't be doing endorsements, but we will have debates (will do a poll on quick shot or actual debate, but will probably be quick shot because of the amount of people we have). Also pay attention because I will probably doing some of it like Cal did and offering parties different events and pathways to run campaigns for a bit of extra flava! PRELIMINARY FRENCH POLLING Marine Le Pen - 23.1% @Pringles Emmanuel Macron - 22.1% @Edouard Nicolas Sarkozy - 14.9% @WVProgressive Jean Luc-Melenchon - 10.2% @Rezi Yannick Jadot - 7.8% @The Blood Xavier Bertrand - 6.5% @ConservativeElector2 Benoit Hamon - 5.6% @Rodja Jean Marie-Brigard - 5.0% @Beetlejuice I don't think I forgot anyone, but if I did, please let me know and I'll add you in. However, new entries are closed unless I forgot someone by accident 😄 So campaigning cycle begins now! 3 events to begin! I will be doing rolls on discord if you'd like to watch them as well 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVProgressive Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Sarkozy blasts Penn as a fake conservative, while campaigning in Toulouse, taking particular issue with her economic policies. Sarkozy then heads to Alsace-Lorraine to talk about his administration's accomplishments for rural communities. Sarkozy ends the week by appealing to populist voters in Paris, attacking Macron as a loser, and an American puppet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) 1. Bigard kicks off his campaign at a rally in Paris by proclaiming himself as the "standard-bearer" of the Yellow Jackets. Bigard believes conditions have worsened since the widespread yellow jacket protests of 2018. Bigard accuses the French government of corruption and incompetency. He urges the yellow protestors to begin protesting again! 2. Bigard meets with yellow jacket activists located in Paris, he invites the media to his meeting. Bigard bashes Macron for treating the 2018 protestors with brutality. 3. Bigard hosts a comedy show-fundraiser event for his campaign at a comedy club in Paris . He notably makes a crude sex joke about President Macron and his much older wife. Edited April 10, 2021 by Beetlejuice Had to add location.
