You're doing it wrong

So the fact that the national front got a concentrated mass of votes in certain regions in what I understand to be regional elections is, somehow, flawed? It just seems like the same whining that often happens over here around the Electoral College or the whole matter of House and Senate makeup. In both cases, the issue is that you and we don't live in a Democracy, per se, but in Republics.

Something is wrong when you got 39% of the votes and the guy who makes 15% gets twice the number of representatives.

depends on the breakdown by districts. If the NF gets like 95% in a handful, they win that handful, but nothing more, as the other parties claim all the other districts by far smaller margins.
