French Democracy Passes Pension Reform Against the Will of Literally Everyone

The biggest problem in democracy is that the people have no representation. They have no ability to petition grievances or affect the function of government in any way.

Somehow, democracy people (“the Jews”) have convinced people the opposite of that is true? I don’t really understand how anyone could think that, but apparently some people think that democracy has some kind of ability for people to impact government function.

If you ask people how it works, however, or when the popular opinion has impacted the functioning of a democracy, you will be met with sputtering.

The upper house of the French parliament has given the green light to pension reforms proposed by President Emmanuel Macron. The initiatives, which include hiking the retirement age, have triggered staunch opposition from large sections of society.

Late on Saturday, 195 senators voted in favor of the plans, with 112 opposing them – an outcome described by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne as an “important stage,” as quoted by AFP. Senators had already approved a key article contained in the bill on Thursday.

The reform package is now expected to be reviewed by a joint committee of lower and upper house MPs on Wednesday. A final draft, provided there is one, will be then submitted for a concluding vote in both chambers later in the week.

As French media point out, a constitutional tool known as article 49/3 allows for the possibility of Macron’s government pushing the legislation through even without a vote.

According to Macron, by raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, the government would ensure the French pension system is financially sustainable. The alternative, he argues, would be “decreasing pensions, raising taxes, or letting our children and grandchildren carry the financial burden.”

The French are the one group of Western whites who might actually do something.

But they probably won’t.
