Re: Yeah it's the same slow death as everywhere (4.00 / 2)
Hah, and the most likely sample size is 11. Still, for some reason we've been running into a lot of all-important elections that could spell utter doom for the country. Not important enough to not raise the retirement age and lower wealth taxes of course.

Re: Yeah it's the same slow death as everywhere (none / 1)
Macron had a clear strategy for re-election, since 2017 :

  • Co-opt the more capable people from the mainstream right
  • Promote Le Pen as his only worthy opponent

I wonder what his strategy is for 2027? Perhaps he will run Jean Castex for President, and become his Prime Minister...
