Isn't he that guy that Macaron pushed through to spite the left because he's best friends with the neo-nazis that are constantly trying to un-seat him?

Define "collapses"? I didn't read the article but I don't understand this. So the whole government is like frozen in time right now or something? Are people gonna get fired in mass? Please explain. Why does one guy get to determine how the government survives?

Bro. There's a fucking article right there that says this:
A total of 364 MPs voted against Bayrou and 194 voted for him after he called the vote in a bid to push through an unpopular €44 billion ($51 billion) savings plan that included scrapping two public holidays and freezing government spending. The 364 votes against Bayrou were well above the 280-vote threshold needed to topple the government.
Bayrou will now be forced to step down after just nine months in office, following in the footsteps of his predecessor Michel Barnier, who lost a no-confidence vote last December.
When a vote of no-confidence is passed in the french parliament, the government ends. The President, Macron, now has to nominate a new Prime Minister.
Macron however is also under fire - this PM lasted 9 months, and the precious one he appointed lasted 3 months.
The French president can appoint whoever they want as Prime Minister, but since parliament can vote them out with a vote of no confidence, there has to be a compromise with the leading parliamentary powers. It's unlikely Macron can achieve this, short of nominating someone from the right but then he's going against his own voters, which is kinda political suicide.
Tough times ahead...

*I didn't read the article but I don't understand this."
I cannot believe you typed that out and hit submit without realizing that you should just read the article that would answer your question.

It was good bait, no? Touche

I don't know if it's the same parliamentary system as canada, but when a confidence motion is lost, the government ends and an election is called.

Lol. Lmao, even.
Fucking Macron watching his decision to screw over the left parties who assisted him against the far-right bite him in the ass.
I never will understand how such highly educated people who probably read and studied so much European and Ancient history and politics and economics just look at everything and believe that they can do the same things that were done in the past and think that they have found the answer and do it all again to benefit themselves and their wealthy overlords.
So much knowledge and education to achieve a point in your life that you could be just as dumb as the idiots that did the same thing a thousand years ago.
"But I'm smarter than them."
Alternatively,
"They managed to get off scott-free despite ruining everything, and retire wealthy, comfortable, and respected despite it all; why shouldn't I do the same?"
Because liberals are ALWAYS going to side with the fascists when push comes to shove. They would rather kill all minorities than interfere with corporate interests.
I didn't take much good from church when i was made to go as a kid, but i did get one saying that's never left me; they're educated beyond their intelligence.
