'Tout doit disparaître' would be even more fitting.

As usual after a legislative election the government resigned, Philippe was immediately renamed as PM.

But so far two major change in the next government: Richard Ferrand will leave to join the National Assembly as leader of LREM deputies and this morning Sylvie Goulard (Defense minister) has resigned to defend herself over allegation of MoDem's fake jobs in the EU Parliament.

Don't worry - two can play at that game.

Now, in all seriousness, I'm looking forward to macroneconomics. What are the odds of Macron getting most of his economic agenda passed in the first year or so?

I like the new title. Appropriately optimistic. Tongue

Also, kudos for not forgetting the circumflex accent!

I was shocked about Bayrou. Trouble in paradise already between LREM and MoDem?

No, there is a judicial enquiry against MoDem over some fake jobs allegations, Bayrou, as chief of MoDem, is directly involved (same for Goulard and De Sarnez).

The new government is totally in the spirit of the title of this topic:
-no major political figure (except Le Drian)
-2/3 of the members of the government come form civil society

Meh, you missed the time she walked with Christine Boutin to oppose gay marriage?

I mean, she's not my kind of politician and I'd never have voted for her or anything, but her legacy for women's rights remains invaluable.

Simone Veil was out of public life in 2013, so we didn't hear exactly why she opposed to gay marriage, but this is what she said about homosexuality.
"How would you react if one of your son told you that he lives with a man?
-I'll invite them for dinner. The deportation made me think a lot about homosexuality, if there was homosexual relationships in the camps it's the proof that there was still some love, some humanity"

What might that mean? Mixed-member proportional?

So in his first major public address he said that the Parliament has to pass this reform within a year or he will call a reform, but he will drop this in two months? Yeah, sure, it would be a great way to sabotage himself.

The term 'dose' seems to me that whatever is passed (or indeed proposed and then lost in the shuffle) will be some form of additional member system of top-up members.

Also lol at the typical bargain basement populist "what if we just cut the number of MP's!!!".
