Refractory Gauls, or the French politics thread

[Duque de Bragança]

The next move is Belgium. Caretaker gvt until new parliamentary elections.

Scheduled for 2029...

Might not be a bad thing in this case...

New PM is Lecornu, rumored to be so before Bayrou managed to get the post for himself.
Former LR, but now in Macron's rump party.

Hardly a surprise.
He was doomed by autumn, anyways.
That vote of (no) confidence just rushed the process.

Why would anyone want to be a French PM at this point? Wasn't he the fourth one?

Yep. He outlasted the previous one, Michel Barnier, however.

What's the next move?
Taxing the ultra rich having 150 000 euros net worth and above to please the far left?
Striking a deal with the disgraced LePen?
Declaring himself Emperor and arrest the hardliners?

Theres got to be a few Bourbon's roaming about. Pick one. Preferably named Louis

They should really get back to being named Henri, it's how they started.

6th Republic? Come on, you know the fifth has lasted too long for French standards.

Also, please tell me that Lecornu doesn't mean kind and sensitive person in French.

[HVC]

Horned i think. With le it'd be the horned... so yeah, one of his ancestors  probably was a cuckold

They lost the henry rights to England, I'm afraid.

Henri IV reigned after the last English Henry was rotting...err...was dead.
