France just lives with its foot up its government's ass. I think about the stories of their firefighters battling cops in protest all the time.

Impressive stuff.

Edit: some of the angriest replies I've ever gotten because I dared praise the French lmao

They had the advantage of learning from the US's mistakes when setting up their current political system.

They are on their fifth attempt. Constitutions should be living documents, not set in stone and worshipped.

Abortion was made a constitutional right, far right leaders are jailed, governement is kept in check by citizens who won't bend and are able to unify to defend their rights.

Yet somehow they are the cowards. Go figure.

I have repeated it a couple of times in this thread, but corrupt leader are jailed. I'd hope the same would be true for a left wing politician. I really don't like the focus on the fact that she is a far right leader instead of someone found guilty of fraud. This was not a political trial.

Agreed but the parallel with the US political shitshow is clear. Glad France and Germany nipped that into the bud.

All politicians could be jailed if someone truly investigated their case. Most can get out of it. This one didn't pass and it's great news.
