So, let’s talk about France. It is a beautiful place with great food, but their politics are just as broken and stupid as everywhere else. The latest news is that the French Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, gets to keep his job. He survived two votes to fire him. One vote came from the far left. The other came from the far right. Everyone hates him, yet he is still the boss. This is the perfect example of why modern government is a joke.

Here is what happened. For three months, the French government did absolutely nothing. They were stuck. They call it a "deadlock." In the real world, if you do not do your job for three months, you get fired and lose your house. In politics, you just yell at each other in a fancy room and get paid by the taxpayers. They were arguing over the budget. A budget is just a list of money they do not have, which they plan to spend on things that do not work. But they treat it like it is a holy scroll.

Lecornu, the man in charge, tried to play the nice guy role at first. He told everyone he wanted to find a compromise. He said he wanted to work together. He said he would listen. If you believed him, that is your fault. Never believe a person in a suit who smiles too much. It is a trap. He vowed not to force the legislation through. He promised to take the high road. Then, the second things got hard, he did exactly what he said he wouldn't do.

He pushed the legislation through anyway. He forced it. He basically looked at the rest of the government and said, "I am doing this whether you like it or not." It is the political version of a parent telling a kid, "Because I said so." It is lazy, it is rude, and it proves that all the talk about democracy and listening is just noise. They only listen when you agree with them. The moment you disagree, they use their power to crush you. This is true for the Left, the Right, and the Center. They are all tyrants waiting for their turn.

Naturally, the other politicians got mad. The Far Left and the Far Right are usually enemies. They agree on nothing. But in this case, they agreed on one thing: they wanted Lecornu gone. They hate him. So, they held a vote of "no-confidence." This is a fancy way of saying, "We think you suck at your job." They tried to kick him out. And guess what? They failed. He survived. He is still there.

Think about how depressing that is. You have a guy who lied about wanting to compromise. You have a guy who forced a budget through a deadlock. You have opponents on both sides screaming for his head. And the result? Nothing changes. He stays in power. The deadlock is technically over, but the hate is still there. The incompetence is still there. The system is designed so that even when everyone is furious, the guys at the top stay safe.

This is why people do not trust the news or the government. We watch these dramas play out like bad reality TV shows. We see the betrayal. We see the lies. We see the anger. And then, the next day, the same people are sitting in the same chairs, spending our money. The French budget is "crucial," they say. Crucial for what? To see if the government survives. That is all they care about. They do not care if the budget helps you buy groceries or put gas in your car. They only care if the budget helps them keep their jobs.

Lecornu surviving these votes isn't a victory for France. It is just a victory for Lecornu. He gets to stay important. He gets to keep his driver and his nice office. Meanwhile, the Far Left and Far Right will go back to complaining, which is the only thing they are actually good at. They are all performing. It is a stage play. The script is boring, the actors are overpaid, and the tickets—your taxes—are way too expensive.

So, the Prime Minister stays. The budget passes. The money will be spent on useless programs. The debt will go up. And in a few months, they will have another crisis, another deadlock, and another vote. It is a cycle of stupidity that never ends. Don't cheer for any of them. Just watch it burn and try not to let it ruin your day.
