Le Monde Diplomatique? I also second the recommendation to diversify your sources: no single news source will let you know what’s “really” going on

Exactly because it works always, whether you want it or not, which brings its own set of risks.

That people voted against it is no evidence that it’s a horrible idea. The article to which you reply at least tries to provide a bit of evidence for its argument. Also, I don’t need a parliament that’s “efficient” (whatever that can mean. Do you measure that in number of pages of new laws passed per months?), I need one that’s fair and democratic. Wht has been happening sine the “liberals” got the majority is evidence enough for me that we should avoid non-coalitions as much as we can.
