France General Discussion III: Tout doit disparaître

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

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!!!".

Does Melenchon have a successor on the Left, or does he plan to run in perpetuity?

Haha lol Segogo

Missing my main man Hollande everyday tbh. He knew not to take himself seriously.

Bit late but, Les Guignols de l'Info is finished for ever. Seeing as that was the show that introduced me to politics, it seems worth marking.

Didn't their network get bought by a rich dude who hated Les Guignols?

Front National (or National Rally as they are known atm) are in a bit of a factional crisis right now. Macron is fortunate enough right now that none of the major non-EM factions look broadly acceptable to the median French voter, meaning even an unpopular Macron would be able to win a run off.

NKM could beat him if she could make the runoff.

She got defeated as an last year though, and I'm not really sure she has a viable shot at leading LR for a multitude of reasons. And her niche is basically covered by En Marche itself?

Could Hulot face him, I wonder?

Is Macron stupid or something. He knew that wouldn't go over well, and he announced it anyways. It would be like Germany honoring Paul Von Hindenberg for wartime service.

That's... not really analogous, actually, but point taken I suppose?

It really is. Hindenberg is the single person most responsible for Hitler becoming Chancellor in the first place. If he'd just said no to Hitler in 1933, we might have avoided World War Two...or at least the War being two fronts (I have no doubt the U.S and Japan would eventually have gone to war, and Pearl Harbor would've happened eventually).

Given that Hindenburg's brain was rapidly devolving into mush, there wasn't really much he could do. Blame Von Schleicher.
