    • “far-right” gains lots of seats during european deputy elections
    • people shocked
    • Macron somehow figures this means people have new priorities and dissolves the general assembly
    • new elections
    • expected a swing victory for “far-right”
    • they actually lose seats
    • left coalition comes out on top, but with relative majority of seats only (<50%)
    • unexpected but welcome turn of events
    • issue: since no one has absolute majority it’s difficult to vote stuff
    • budget
    • Macron wants (NEEDS) to fix the debt issue
    • they’ll cut expenses in public services, mass layoffs
    • left coalition wants to find the missing money not by cutting but by taxing places where money accumulated (i.e. The Rich™)
    • left lands amends in the budget plan
    • prime minister overrules the plan using “49.3” and approves the initial Fuck The People <3 Budget Plan™
    • this unlocks the prime minister’s ejection seat button
    • prime minister is ejected
    • Macron needs to pick yet another prime minister, hopefully this time he won’t put one of his cronies to overrule the elected majority’s priorities
