  3. ​ @fabiogrottola On average France collapses every 40 years, often in a ball of flames and its on its 5th Republic in only 200 years. And currently its very close to its 6th. Some thing doesn't work, Great Britain and the USA in comparison has been pretty stable in the same time frame.

  6. ​ @fabiogrottola Yes, but the system of parliamentary democracy is used by the majority of the world and Crowell is arguably the father of this system. This including Germany and Japan. Power is divided between a symbolic head of state and parliament. It probably explains why france is so unstable. Wellington and the allies beat Napoleon, cementing its place as the global super power for next 100 years. We all speak English don't we?

  8. ​​​ @fabiogrottola  american uses common law and their 2 party voting is very similar to the UK. France is f**ked and its current system no longer works. The country carries to much debt and its unable to pass important legislation. To the point where Macron had to push through his pension reforms with dictator like emergency powers. Youtube went very quiet on the riots very suddenly, a cynical man may argue Macron shut it down.

  9. ​ @fabiogrottola ...give it 18 months. With a combination of a very unsettled population and a system of governance that is no longer fit for purpose. Viva la 6th Republic.

  10. France are having a bad time at the moment.. Mass riots, political and economic collapse, getting kicked out of Africa and asylum seekers are risking their lives by crossing the English channel so they can start a life in Great Britain.
