France elected a President yesterday.
Looking at http://elections.lefigaro.fr/resultats/elections-presidentielles-2007/2eme-tour/departements/> the map , I'm wondering at the reason why the French right-left divide is also a east-west divide: after all, bright-red Brittany is even more conservatively Catholic that deep-blue Alsace, and with its maritime tradition it is not less connected to the World than the Euro-trading Rhine Valley.
Can our French posters explain that to me?
