lemme tell you how garbage the french constitution is from a Turkish perspective.
so Turkey had this parliamentary system similar to the German constitution. the parliament is where the votes go. if a party within parliament gets more than 50%, they get to appoint a prime minister, if nobody gets to 50%, a number of parties have to form a coalition that amounts to 50%.
There were a couple of caveats with the turkish system...one being that the military could suspend it at any given time.
and come the 2016 failed coup attempt(and also the rise of the maligned progressive hdp), the nation is outraged that they experienced a failed coup attempt(and also outraged that the hdp had gained some serious power, at the cost of the ruling party). "what are we, an African country or some shit?" was the common national media sentiment at the time.
and so the ruling party of turkey, the akp, holds a referendum and proposes they redesign their constitution after the french one for the sake of real democracy.
but it's pure liberalism(dictatorship with a nice face). it's designed to make sure nobody rocks the boat. they make it so that only the two most popular parties can ever have control of the executive branch in the name of stability and dEmoCRaCy.
the context of the current french constitution is it was rewritten after the french algerian crises by De Gaulle and his people...it simply empowers reactionary forces. not good.
