Anyone following these protesters?
No leader. They succeeded in gettting Macron to back down over fuel prices but they continue rioting and protesting. Will Macron resign?
Students now protesting.
Macron - for the rich?
It would be easy to dismiss the protests as “The French”. Could the same happen in Britain post 29 March? Could the French yellow jackets get a leader and become a political party?
I find what is happening in France very interesting and with every new report there is confirmation that various people, of all different shades of the political spectrum, have come together with one clear aim; removing Macron.
This is the way in France, and has clear echoes of what happened in 1789. Many different groups combining to remove the key authority (the acristocracy) to gain control over their lives and no longer be dictated to by having fair representation in the national decision making process. Some being interviewed are even openly talking about civil war if Macron does not go.
Are we heading that way? So many of different political colours all fed up with British politics?
Before anyone says no, it can never happen here as we are not like the French, just remember the English Civil War that was fought to give democratic power (well some at least) to the people and take it away from authority (the King). Have our politics got to that stage again where we, the people, want our democracy back, or are we more interested in
I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!?We have been close to revolution before on a number of ocassions. However, on those ocassions the UK Parliament have been clever enough to be one step ahead of the game and give the people just enough to stop them rebeling. Is the current Government, or any ministers, good enough to do this now?
