    Really it’s more that French politicians are properly accountable to the people, who will protest and strike frequently. That’s what makes French politics great, not the leaders but the citizens.

      I don’t know how much you know about France, and french politics specifically, but as a person born in France I want to tell you that you might have been mislead… From my point of view and with my knowledge, politics here is a shit show, basically the elite mock everyone, France is run by billionaires, happily oppressing the poor.

        Ain’t we all? But honestly I get so frustrated with seeing what they debate over and how everything is just done for profit and from what the politians can hoard most money from. I know it’s joked about a lot but it just seems insane that Babiš can just use all these things for his own companies and profit. I rather not watch politics at all just from memes and what I hear from others so I might not know everything but still just seems insane they can do these things.

      No, politicians don’t give a shit about people striking. And the biggest haters of strikes are the citizens who don’t like their life and privileges to be disturbed by people striking for their rights.
