  • Randomly drawing citizen. Sure politics require some training, but it can be done on the job

    Also, countries with proportional votes tend to force politicians to talk with each other more than countries with single representative per district.

    Limiting elected official mandates to one or two. If you couldn’t do something in 10 years no reason to think you’ll do it latter





  • Countries have been “temporarily suspending shengen agreement” for tons of reason without putting the EU at risk. I remember being stuck in trafic over 1h when crossing the French border in the summer 2016, where between a football cup, and the terror attacks, the police was “checking the border” ( to be understood as, police kept only one lane open on the highway, and even as setup a tent and a parking so they can “randomly check” some cars.

    I also remember covid time when travelling within EU was involving a lot of paperwork.

    Not sure what’s happening right now in Germany, but it’s not the first nor the last time, that the open-borders are suspended.






  • The trick here is that nobody had the majority at the parliament. Which is quite unusual in France compared to let’s say Belgium where spending over 6 month to build a coalition is the norm.

    Macron and moderate right say they don’t wanna work with leftist killing the hypothesis of left wing government that moderate right can remove at any time. However, if Barnier allies with Macron party, and get at least the passive support of far right, he has a majority. But basically the kind of majority that far right can remove at any time. Not sure what deal with Le Pen was negotiated








  • Alice is missing : Content warning, it’s a game about a missing kid, Bullying and sexual harrassment will be at the table, it’s also a game with a lot of bleed potential. The game mechanic using text messaging is pretty great, and the sound track is amazing.

    I had a really good surprise when discorvering the Forged in the Dark mechanics which are PBTA with a bit more rule. Works quite well, but like many other story first game, it pushes more improv style and less prepare awesome stories
