Because of the French imperialist-chauvinist political structure, the Northern Basque Country has no political organization whatsoever, not even a department, not even electoral districts. However the Basque Nationalist bloc (Euskal Herria Bai!) manages to get a slightly growing percentile of vote in the three historical regions in spite of all.
On the worrying side the fascists of the National Front are also in that same zone of votes.
The electoral districts that divide the Northern Basque Country for the French elections (only results above 5% shown, the two leading candidates go for second round):
6th district (mostly South and Central Lapurdi):
- UMP (French unionist right): 35.4%
- PS (French unionist center-left): 31.6%
- EH Bai! (Basque Nationalist mostly left coalition): 9.8%
- FN (French nazis): 6.3%
5th district (North Lapurdi and parts of Low Navarre):
- PS (French unionist center-left): 37.7%
- NC (French unionist center-right): 30.4%
- FN (French nazis): 7.1%
- FdG (French communists): 5.6%
- EH Bai! (Basque Nationalists): 5.3%
4th district (most Low Navarre, all Zuberoa and much of Bearn as well):
- PS (French unionist center-left): 32%
- MoDem (French unionist center-right): 26.28%
- UMP (French unionist right): 17.6%
- FdG (French communists): 7.6%
- EH Bai! (Basque Nationalists): 6.8%
Vote leader per commune in all the Atlantic Pyrenees department (Northern Basque Country and Bearn):

Overall in the French Republic
The results in France reinforce the twin party system with the ominous shadow of the nazis, relatively poor result for the two blocs of the left and collapse of the divided center-right (MoDem, NC).
- PS (center-left): 29.4%
- UMP (right): 27.1%
- FN (nazis): 13.6%
- FdG (communists): 6.9%
- EE-LV (greens): 5.5%

Corsica
Femu a Corsica, a nationalist-and-green coalition, will fight for a seat in the 1st district of Upper Corsica and in the 2nd district of Southern Corsica, where they reached second position, with 24.7% and 21.3% of the vote. Corsica Libera, which run separately, did not obtain such good results but still mustered 3-8% of the vote, depending on the district.
Kanaky (New Caledonia) and Polynesia
The Melanesian colony, formally a special collectivity, voted massively for the socialist and nationalist Kanak candidates (yellow) in the rural areas, however the southern districts, largely inhabited by European settlers, rather supported the conservative unionist parties (blue).
The FLNKS, which fought a bitter guerrilla war in the recent past, wins in the 2nd district (all the country but Noumea and the smaller islands) with 36%, while it has been displaced in the 1st district by the unionist forces.

In French Polynesia (overseas territory) also, the nationalist candidates seem to be fielding strong, gathering 29% of the vote and second position.
Martinique
Another French and EU territory with strong nationalist sentiment is the Caribbean colony of Martinique. The Martinican Independence Movement seems to be performing very strong: 40% in the 4th district, 28% in the 1st district (first force in both), 19% in the 3rd district but a mere 3% in the north (2nd district).
