370 for 67 against 129 abstention Strict majority is at 360, so there are 10 extra votes among the satellites. Social-democrats chose to abstain (despite clear indications of a right-wing policy from the government), which was fairly expected given their cowardice; but the mainstream right seemed to be as pusillanimous. Guess it's hard to vote against the confidence when the Prime minister is from your own ranks... This is the record of the lowest expressed opposition for a vote of confidence (11.6%). This Chamber is so out of touch with the political reality of the country...

Only one group has a clear, unified stance against the majority. | ||

An absolute number is a far more useful one in this case because "per capita" doesn't really mean anything. A very high unemployment works best | ||

If you press the issue further our socialdemocrats may even do without heavy artillery. But in all seriousness, we have elections coming up. Conservatives are pretending they can close the meditereanian, SDs are calling this unrealistic, so they are now pretending they can close the routes into Austria. Lots of hot air. | ||

At least more peaceful than those under Pax kremlin. Sure, yet I still have the feeling it is still semi-serious when comments are clearly formulated as "except for SA". I don't want this to become a rant, so let me just vaguely say that, I believe they and their success are no different from former Empires. It's mainly about military power and supression, nothing else. | ||

Next week, the majority will vote the law which authorizes Macron to destroy workers' rights by decree (actual, precise content not known before September when decrees are published; only general principles are known for now). 107 years of workers' rights to be "rewritten" by the Prince and a bunch of technocrats while no one knows the exact extent of what will be smashed by the bulldozer. | ||
