Thanks to France we can finally put to bed the notion that people just need to vote harder.

The alliance between centrist and conservative parties in the cabinet is not enough to pass legislation on its own.

It will depend on others, such as Marine Le Pen's far right National Rally to stay in power and get bills into law.

He has outflanked her to the right and chastised her on several issues for not going far enough.

I’m not even talking about policy. He made a bullshit alliance with the NPF to keep her out of power, she has every motivation to make him look pathetic when he comes begging her for votes.

You know those Hoi4 mods that have some milquetoast leftist like Bernie or William Z Foster as some sort of fascist or totalitarian communist?

Macron is the real world version of that.

France's public-sector deficit is projected to reach around 5.6% of GDP this year and go over 6% in 2025. The EU has a 3% limit on deficits.

This is why the EU has to be destroyed. These insane austerity freaks literally never learn no matter how many times austerity fails.

Hi dunk crew, before seeing this thread I didn't realize 'globalist' was specifically seen this way. In terms of referring to the global north extracting resources from and generally exploiting the global south, what's an easy to use and understand term besides settler/colonizer?

yeah my dad ranted to me about it

Nothing to add to the macron discourse except when I saw the post title I thought it said "Marvel Unveils New Right-wing French Government"
