    In French schools that kind of indoctrination would be immediately likened to the Nazi-empowered Vichy government in the 40s.

    But you know, the grandchildren of those have brainwashed enough people that they’re already seeing themselves in power right now, so maybe we’ll get that again soon, and a lot worse?

    French people, vote today. Please.

      French people, please do your national sport: revolution.

        We need a new constitution, badly. One that gives more power to the parliament, and less to the president. The current constitution is De Gaulle’s creature, it was tailor made for him and simply doesn’t represent people in today’s political map.

        The fact people don’t feel their vote matters anymore is one of the main reasons far right is so strong right now. Macron has been elected with less than 28% of expressed votes on first turn of the election, yet he basically runs the place.

        Changing constitution is actually in the left wing alliance’s program. Except they want to do it democratically, by being elected into power, not through a revolution.

          The world has changed. Even France doesn’t want revolution.

      I really hope you guys avoid the far right government that we keep hearing Marine Lepen is trying to install. The one upside I can see is that she will hopefully scare the shit out of some moderates in the US so we avoid Trump

        Results are (mostly) in, far right is way too high but still third, behind the left and presidential alliances. Worrying for the future but it could have been worse.

        Some of the far right candidates had already called for “not accepting the result of the election if they lose”. I am sure you can draw some parallels…
