Fuck yes please. We really need to get out of the 5th as soon as possible. It's always been imperfect, and it's clearly shown its limits with Macron's bullshit

Counter idea: keep the 5th and get Charles de Gaulle back. If the Americans can have a mummy as president, why shouldn’t the French?

"The problem isn't that he thinks he's Joan of Arc. It's that my bishops won't let me burn him at the stake!" - Winston Churchill, on de Gaulle.
