the turnout is not particularly exceptional for a presidential election, as its been over 70% most of the time. for other elections i'm pretty sure the turnout is just as bad as it is elsewhere

that's what i thought but felt like maybe he was talking about a new dessert, flamby flambé

i'd be curious to know if the flamby nickname that stuck to hollande came from that show for example
It looks like it came from Jack Lang, though Montebourg has used it too.

i read somewhere that bruno gaccio (the guignols de l'info guy) used that name as a general comment on the PS but that he now regretted having made this a huge thing.
