Saladman posted:When was the last time the French people actually liked their president? Like has any president polled higher than 65% since... Napoleon? I couldn't easily figure this out in 5 minutes of Googling re: Mitterand or whoever's popularity. It looks like Pompidou also got down to 5% approval, de Gaulle to 30%, and Chirac to 12%, so hating the president's guts seems to be like business as usual. Jesus Christ would probably only get like 45% approval ratings even if he was handing out mana and curing all ailments. Yes, that would be a pretty reliable way to piss off conservatives.

Flowers For Algeria posted:It is actually a pretty complicated matter. Had it actually been a new tax bracket on the income tax, that would have been fine. However, the government decided that since they wanted it to be only temporary, they'd create a new tax. But instead of using households as the basis for the calculation of income for that tax, they used individuals. This created a situation of inequality in households where one person earned over 1 million a year and the other didn't. "Rupture d'égalité" = Conseil Constitutionnel smackdown. So, if I understood this correctly, they took offence to Household A with two people earning 999k each not being subject to th tax and Household B with one person earning 1000k and another person earning 0 being subject to the tax despite Household A clearly being the richer one? This seems quite reasonable to me. Shouldn't the blame lie with lawmakers for making a badly thought out law?

AceOfFlames posted:This. There's also crap like this: I find it a bit weird that "only one official language per country" has not been tested yet. It seems especially relevant for a country like Belgium. Did they pick Flemish or French? Seems like either choice should piss off half their population.

Cat Mattress posted:I haven't found anywhere a list of which country "sponsored" which language. So there you find articles telling you that neither Ireland nor Malta designated English as their official EU language; but on every EU document for English they mention Ireland and Malta as countries where it's an official language. Yeah, I wasn't sure if Flemish and Dutch are considered the same language, but Wikipedia at least lists Dutch among Belgiums official languages, so  .

blowfish posted:The UK historically owned parts of France so technically it's consistent for some dumb kipper to campaign there? The UK never owned parts of France, but even if you had written England that would be technically incorrect, the worst kind of incorrect. Even though the Duke of Normandy was identical to the King of England for some time, Normandy was still part of the French Crown not the english one.

Small reminder: before you start the revolution this time check if there are any Bonapartes around and do the needful ( ) if there are. Good luck!
