  1. The French can't cross those bridges because they've burned them before they got there.

  2.  @mariusmatei2946  If you were "some 'specialist'", you'd know coalition governments don't sit well with the French. Now off with you.

  4.  @mariusmatei2946  Idioms aren't your thing. I suspect it was already apparent from my initial comment.

  5.  @mariusmatei2946  What on earth might you be referring to? Tell me, who do you take me for?

  6.  @mariusmatei2946  Don't try to be enigmatic. It just reveals your ignorance.

  7. ​ @mariusmatei2946  Gawd, I hate explaining witticisms. In the run-up to the election, the New Popular Front was very combative, and not only towards their arch-enemy, the RN, but also, towards Ensemble. Hence, burned bridges. There's another expression, of which you're apparently oblivious, that goes "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it". NPF will find its bridges burned. It will have to rebuild the obvious one, but as I already hinted, French politicians aren't experienced bridge-builders. Now, you had a preconceived notion about my nationality. Let's hear it.

  8.  @mariusmatei2946  Duh, the NPF won the election and has dibs on trying to forge a coalition government. If it helps you any, the other blocs are equally inexperienced at forming coalitions. It's not the French way. The sad truth is that you lack the intelligence to understand subtle witticisms, let alone the political process in France. So, where am I from? Don't chicken out. You were so sure just a while ago.
