 (New York Times)
  -  French voters turned toward right-leaning parties in local 
elections held Sunday across the country, signaling their disappointment
 and frustration with France’s governing Socialist Party. However,
 they did not appear to flock in droves to the far-right party, the 
National Front, although it appeared to make a stronger showing than in 
any previous local elections, according to exit polls and some early 
returns on the Interior Ministry’s election website. </div>

 “This
 is the first layer of the 2017 presidential election,” said Michaël 
Darmon, the chief political editor at the news network i-Télé. Exit polls showed the mainstream conservative party, the Union for a Popular Movement, and allied center-right parties taking about 30 percent of the vote and the National Front about 25 percent. About 20 percent went to the Socialists, while other left-leaning parties had far smaller numbers. If
 those figures prove accurate once complete returns are in, they will 
mean that the National Front advanced considerably from the 15 percent 
it received in the first round of similar local elections in 2011 and 
that the Socialists lost ground, dropping from 25 percent in 2011. Voters on Sunday chose 4,108 representatives on local councils in France’s
 101 departments, which are administrative subdivisions somewhere 
between a state and a county but with relatively little power in the 
highly centralized French government. Parties could put forward a 
two-person ticket; if no team received more than 50 percent of the 
ballots, the top pairs in each district will head to a runoff next 
Sunday. Leaders
 from each of the three main parties claimed a victory of sorts. Prime 
Minister Manuel Valls, a Socialist, said that even if the Socialists did
 not do well, the total number of voters who cast a ballot for 
left-leaning parties was the same as those on the right. Mr. Valls and former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was recently elected to lead the Union for a Popular Movement, or the UMP, called for a “mobilization” of voters next week to defeat the National Front. Mr.
 Sarkozy stopped short of calling on voters to support Socialist 
candidates in the runoffs in order to stop a National Front candidate 
from winning. In contrast, Mr. Valls said voters should vote for anyone who was running against the National Front. He also implored left-leaning voters to band together “and adopt a clear position against the extreme right.”</div>

 Before
 the election, many analysts noted that while the conservative and 
center-right parties had managed to form coalitions, the left remained 
fractured. Some French analysts also saw the Socialists’ losses as a 
referendum on the presidency of François Hollande, who has been unable 
to make significant progress on promises to improve the economy, reduce 
unemployment and overhaul the system of social benefits to make them 
more sustainable. The National Front, once seen as a fringe party, has <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/01/world/seeking-new-heights-in-france-national-front-thinks-locally.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;" target="_blank" title="The New York Times, Sept. 30, 2014">sought to broaden its appeal</a> in
 recent years, seizing on dissatisfaction with Mr. Hollande and the 
economy, disarray within the UMP, and widening resentment of immigrants 
in France. Its leader, Marine Le Pen, projects an image as a pragmatic 
nationalist who is tough, patriotic and accessible. What
 emerged clearly in this election is the “tripolarization” of the French
 political landscape, said Thomas Guénolé, a political analyst. He 
pointed to the development of three distinct strands: the mainstream 
right and left parties, both contending with internal troubles, and the 
National Front, which has gained ground over the last few elections. Nearly
 half of France’s eligible voters cast their ballots on Sunday. It is 
difficult to get a clear sense of voters’ bottom line, however, until 
after the runoffs. While the National Front historically does well in 
the first round of voting, it has not in the past been able to maintain 
that momentum into the second round. Although it will be a contender, 
few people believe it will even win enough seats to control any 
department in France. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/23/world/europe/frances-conservative-parties-show-strength-in-local-elections.html?_r=0" target="_blank">Read More . . . . </a> </div>
