So apperently I am wrong. What would make a future France less of a police state and more democratic than now?

I agree with you that he should resign because he made a mess and does not follow the will of a majority of the French.

But as far as calling France a failed democracy that I do not agree with. A flawed democracy sure, but than again even a good democracy does not protect the people from making choices on flawed information or ignorance.

France is not a police state, I fully agree that the police is way too violent but that is not equal to a police state. France has many problemes but it is still a democracy and they can still vote for change.

It is not a fake democracy they just voted in an asshole.
