Look- I can’t really deal with more than one major crisis of democracy a week. So, France, you have to wait, this is South Korea’s week.
@alysondecker You have to take into account that ours really is a slow-moving one that started seven years ago at least.
@romromrom Don’t worry, the U.S. has already reserved a week or two in 2025.
@alysondecker Yes, I've noticed the "democracy teetering on the edge" market is far from cornered.
@alysondecker The major crisis of democracy in France was Macron selecting Barnier as Prime Minister a while ago, despite Barnier not even coming close to winning an election.

“Your call has been placed in a priority cue and will be attended to by the first available operator…”
How's a government losing a confidence vote a "major crisis of democracy"?
Confidence votes are a part of democracy - the parliament can sack the government, basically.
@alysondecker
Meanwhile, in Georgia...the country, not the state.
It's not really a major crisis of democracy this week.
I mean, it's the unfolding of one, but not particularly a bad week in that regard (for once, the institutions worked).
