Wise move. If we would have done the same here in the USA we would be living different lives now.

If only doing a bunch of crimes prevented you from being the president of the US.

Well deserved.

One down, many to go.
Well done, France.

Man I wish I lived somewhere where politicians were held accountable

So will this actually help anything, Or will Bardella just pick up where she left off?
- He's too inexperienced. But I am sure the party will be able to spin this.
  
  Yeah, he's still in his 20's apparently? That's crazy, "young" in politics usually means ~40.
