[–] wkk@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* "far-right" gains lots of seats during european deputy elections people shocked Macron somehow figures this means people have new priorities and dissolves the general assembly new elections expected a swing victory for "far-right" they actually lose seats left coalition comes out on top, but with relative majority of seats only (<50%) unexpected but welcome turn of events issue: since no one has absolute majority it's difficult to vote stuff budget Macron wants (NEEDS) to fix the debt issue they'll cut expenses in public services, mass layoffs left coalition wants to find the missing money not by cutting but by taxing places where money accumulated (i.e. The Rich™) left lands amends in the budget plan prime minister overrules the plan using "49.3" and approves the initial Fuck The People <3 Budget Plan™ this unlocks the prime minister's ejection seat button prime minister is ejected Macron needs to pick yet another prime minister, hopefully this time he won't put one of his cronies to overrule the elected majority's priorities permalink fedilink source parent
