Everyone, in all countries, complains about their political system and their politicians. It just goes with the territory. But, it has to be said, France does it better (worse?) than most.
The latest? President Emanual Macron, who has presided over a veritable revolving door of prime ministers - three in the last year alone - has reappointed the last PM to resign.
Sébastien Lecornu was appointed Prime Minister on September 9th 2025, but he resigned 27 days later, on October 6th, shortly after unveiling a new cabinet. Then, just 4 days later, on October 10th, Macron appointed Lecornu again.
You have to think that Lecornu really didn't want the position - he has said publicly that he only did so "out of duty", not a great basis on which to proceed. And you have to think that Macron had to really persuade him (it would be interesting to know just how). Presumably, Macron couldn't convince anyone else to take the job.
Dysfunctional? Just a bit. And you have to wonder how long this arrangement will last, especially given the circumstances.
