French presidential elections are runoff elections where a second round is held between the two candidates with most votes of neither got a majority in the first round.
Elections for the national assembly are FPTP elections much like in the US or UK. The senate is elected indirectly by an electoral college fair each department consisting of elected officials like local councillors. The districtinc of senate seats greatly favours rural areas and the right.
that sounds worse than I thought. i didn't know there was a national assembly and senate. sounds like the legislative branch of France exists to create confusion just like here in the us.
being familiar with turkey, the fact that the turkish state(akp) modeled their new constitution after the French one was enough for me to conclude that the French system was garbage.
