ER Editor: Excellent news, in fact. The French are pretty hard to wake up when it comes to the political class.
It’s pretty evident the white hats have been creating mayhem, theatre and exaggeration here since July and the elections which, curiously, did not reflect the European elections of June 9 and which should have put Marine Le Pen in power but didn’t. Hat tip to those guys.

More than 8 out of 10 French people have a bad image of the political parties, according to a poll
RT FRANCE
An Odoxa-Backbone investigation for Le Figaro published on October 24 reports an amplification of the ‘democratic crisis’ in the country, notably with a pronounced lack of love between the French and their political parties. A survey that confirms the EESC’s annual report published the day before and linking inequality and democracy.
Political parties are ‘not honest’ in the eyes of 90% of French people, according to an Odoxa-Backbone Survey for Le Figaro published on October 24th. According to the same source, 85% of French people would also not find them credible.

When asked about the frequency of voting in the last two years, while voters have been called to the polls four times, the answers are final.
Corruption, non-respect of the vote, weariness: the French snub their policies
72% of people consulted declare themselves ‘tired’ of electoral promises. On the other hand, 71% want to be consulted more by referendum. Only 23% of respondents said they were satisfied with the results of the last election and only 15% believe that political power has taken the vote of the voters into account.
Among the main criticisms of the registered voters, we find in the first position ‘electoral promises not kept’ (48% of the respondents), followed by the absence of taking into account the vote of the citizens (43%), and corruption and conflicts of interest in the political class (41%). On 23 October the day before the publication of the survey, the Social and Environmental Economic Council (CESE) published its annual report on the State of France. In this one we learn in particular that ‘1 French on 4 don’t fully feel part of society’.
‘Politicians are disconnected from realities’ estimate 76% of French
By the way, nearly one in five ‘respondents believes that democracy is not the best existing political system’.
More than three out of four interviewees say that ‘politicians are disconnected from the realities experienced by citizens’.
Translation: 1 in 4 French people do not feel fully part of society: the CESE calls for strengthening citizens’ power to act to emerge from the democratic crisis This year, the Annual Report on the State of France (RAEF) highlights the links between inequalities and democracy For more information: lecese.fr/actualites/rap To review the presentation and the debate in plenary session:
1 Français sur 4 n’a pas le sentiment de faire pleinement partie de la société : le CESE appelle à renforcer le pouvoir d’agir des citoyens pour sortir de la crise démocratique

The 280-page document also evokes economic and social issues, with 58% of French people experiencing ‘difficulties in accessing housing’ or 45% of’ among them believing that their purchasing power allows them only ‘to meet their essential needs or even does not allow it’.
.
Faced with this situation, the EESC president Thierry Beaudet estimated on France Info on October 23 that ‘it is necessary to change the democratic method, change culture, change practices’ and explain that it is necessary ‘to re-engage in the battle of everyday life, of proximity’.
