quite a few rules are missed out :you can find them in the french version.
Indeed I am curious if more can be explained regarding the election seeing as some parties with higher number of votes get less seats than those with less numbers of votes. -- 71.106.239.91 02:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Did the french, I wonder, consider having a sixth republic instead of a 13th assembly becuase of the supperstition that the number 13 brings misfortune. Alec - U.K. 15:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Right now, the UDF is included in the right-wing "Presidential Majority" alliance in the chart. However, it isn't at all clear whether the UDF will remain a part of the alliance given that Bayrou and the UDF seriously challenged Sarkozy and the UMP in the presidential election. Moreover, Bayrou has suggested that he may endorse Royal and the Socialists in the second round. Would it then be appropriate to keep the UDF separate from both coalitions until it becomes clear which coalition (if any) they will be a part of? — Cuiviénen 18:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
As of the end of May, the pro-Sarkozy UDF has officially formed the "New Centre" party. Esquimo 12:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
French parliamentary election, 2007 redirects here, but doesn't that title make more sense? English is not my fist language, but 'legislative elections' sounds rather odd to me. It's not laws that are elected, but (potential) parliament members. Who will next participate in making laws, but it's not the laws themselves that are elected, as the present title suggests.

Any polls yet? I saw in the IHT (I think) that the first polls showed a big lead for the "Presidential Majority" (UMP, pro-Sarkozy side of UDF, MPF etc) but I have not seen actual numbers.

Unlike the presidential election, there are several legislative elections (with different candidates, in each constituency). In that case, the word "election" should be in the plural. [1] Korg ( talk) 17:02, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. Apart from the title, is it appropriate to put the words "election" in the plural (as in the articles German federal election, 2005 or Slovenian parliamentary election, 2004)? Korg ( talk) 23:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
What is the source of the aggregate party voting figures given in this article? Intelligent Mr Toad 08:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Some of the first round/total results don't add up. The best example of this is the UMP winning two seats in the first round but apparently only having one seat in total; also, in one place, the MoDem is said to have won 4 seats, but in the tally it only has 3. (unnown anon editor)
I think the whole coverage of these elections have been contradictory, rather than just this article. And the reason lies with the kind of results that were being flashed by various pre-election polls. None of them have seemed to get it right. . bandishhh 11:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
The MPF won two seats (Vendee 4 and 5). The table needs to be adjusted. Intelligent Mr Toad 07:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
More info. The second MPF was not elected on the UMP ticket (my mistake), but with support of the UMP on the Divers Droite ticket. Differences from the ministry with Le Monde:
So the ministry seems to be correct. BTW, M. Abdoulatifou ALY (ELU) Divers from Mayotte joined MODEM, but was not elected as a MODEM candidate. Electionworld Talk? 11:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
OK Electionworld, vous avez raison as usual. Merci. Is the Communist from Reunion included with the PCF or does she sit as Diverse Gauche? Intelligent Mr Toad 01:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Just a detail. If Dr. Salem Kacet operated on Gérard Vignoble, then the former must be a cardiac surgeon, rather than a cardiologist.

In Moselle 6, why were two rounds of voting held when Pierre Lang polled a majority in the first round? Intelligent Mr Toad 08:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Thankyou. Another question: why did Alain Juppe have to resign as a minister after failing to be re-elected to the National Assembly, while Bernard Kouchner can be a minister without ever having been elected to the Assembly? Intelligent Mr Toad 16:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
As an idle passing observer, I think it would be very useful to have statistics on how many constituencies each party contested the second round. If that's easy found, sticking that statistic alongside vote share would be most useful for sating at least my idle curiosity. Bastin 17:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
