French government collapse

If only this was as cool as it sounds. In an alternate, better reality Macron is enjoying political asylum rather than Assad.

Eh, I feel there are probably a few dozen cryptocurrency collapses a day at this point.

Wait what’s going on in France?

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

So in the summer Macron dissolved the french parliament and held early elections. His party kinda ate shit and a left-leaning coalition won the most seats.

Rather than appointing a PM from the largest coalition, Macron appointed a PM from his party and formed a coalition with the far right.

Said PM attempted to pass an austerity budget using a mechanism that only allowed it to be turned down if a vote of no confidence passed.

The no confidence vote passed, which has caused the government to be ousted.

A new election also can't be called because it's too soon.

Far-rightists gave up on propping up the center-right government coalition, now they've gotta wait a year for new elections to try and fail to end gridlock
