That is a glorious OP.

Any bets on how long Hulot will last before he's strangled by France's agricultural interests?

i give him six month tops before he quits in disgust

Sounds about right. I was at least very happy to see the back of Segolene Royale; I'd have thought she'd have turncoated her way to EM has well.

the guy who unseated her five years ago, olivier falorni, is one of those left radical party (read center-center-left) mp who wants to work with macron. i don't know about royal but i'm not sure she's a macronist.

the left radical party had a group five years ago but now they're reduced to four non-inscrit députés, you'd think they'd causus with the "new left" group or the modem

What are the corsican's demands anyway? Do they want independence? To be part of Italy?

some want autonomy, kind of like tahiti or new caledonia, others outright independence. both movements have united recently and have been gaining elections on the island.


also trumpy said yes

In terms of catholicism, probably Vendée.

I don't think so :confused: Bavaria has good beers, good cars and good football; Alsace only has the first, possibly the second (thx Bugatti), but certainly not the third.

oh yeah that's probably more accurate

Unlike previous presidents, Macron won't be interviewed by journalists on Bastille day because his "complex thought" is unfit for the exercise.

I used to be told "if you can't explain it you didn't understand it" but I'm no president now so what do I know.

Macron inaugurated the freshly opened Paris Rennes LGV with a speech about how we're now past ambitious infrastructure projects and we need to work on "la mobilité du quotidien" with no further explanation.
What is he on about ?

Being Macron I assume he's not talking about overhauling the TER or RER network but rather on a cool idea where everyone is an uber.

La pensée complexe maybe
