Ah fantastic, so our French Constitutional Council just confirmed we’re not a democracy, since it seems that using every article that limits democratic debates, removes modifications to laws, and generally prevents any kind of discussion around a law, and any form of real vote, all at the same time is totally legal and constitutional.

Maybe it’s time to move on from our current form of Republic. It was created for a military dictator in the 50s, and is clearly unsuited to the modern world.

@thelinuxEXP bruh can't you understand 62 years isn't viable

@pfannkuchen @thelinuxEXP that is not the point. The point is the violation of democratic principles through the abuse of legalistic clauses, in the face of the will of 80+ percent of the population. Nick is right: we need a republic in which the government represents the people, not the elite.

Beyond that point though: 62 is viable. There is no actual emergency to finance pensions, now or in the mid term future. And if there was, there is money to find.

@PierricD @pfannkuchen Yep. It is absolutely viable. Most models point out to that. There is no urgency at all.
