IIRC French regions are pretty powerless so whoever rules them is not really in a position to implement anything groundbreaking. As Duque said, they can't even produce their own legislation and are basically a management instrument, not really something very ideological.

In that case it seems weird there would be elections.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Don't you even elect your state comptroller? Hardly a political position either.

Yes indeed. Hey what have I said about all of those elections in the past? :hmm:

We have elections for county dogcatcher.  :sleep:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
