This sounds like the normal mode for french politics. How many times has your government collapsed over the last 200 years? You're on the 5th republic or something right?

Yep and compared to European history this is tame.

Better to have governments collapse than allow society to collapse.

I can't claim to be an expert in French politics, but harmful government should not be allowed to be stable.

To be fair, a bunch of these happened because of wars, we didn't really control these ones.

The other bunch happened because they were precariously unstable governments.
