What a winter we're having
(hexbear.net)
Trump elected in landslide victory
Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire (immediately violated by Israel)
French government collapse
South Korean martial law (just a joke though)
CEO shot in the street
Romanian election results overturned
Colour revolution attempt in Georgia
Assad runs for his life
Isreali invasion of Syria
This is all in just over a month
At this rate I fully expect a Year of Four Presidents in America
Wait what’s going on in France?
So in the summer Macron dissolved the french parliament and held early elections. His party kinda ate shit and a left-leaning coalition won the most seats.
Rather than appointing a PM from the largest coalition, Macron appointed a PM from his party and formed a coalition with the far right.
Said PM attempted to pass an austerity budget using a mechanism that only allowed it to be turned down if a vote of no confidence passed.
The no confidence vote passed, which has caused the government to be ousted.
A new election also can't be called because it's too soon.
Far-rightists gave up on propping up the center-right government coalition, now they've gotta wait a year for new elections to try and fail to end gridlock
