Episode 25: The French got a new leader and how they went about it in order!
Leave a reviewRecently the French elected a new President – Emmanuel Macron, for a second term. While elections are more common today than they were in ancient Greece, the French do something that the Brits or the Americans or the Indians do. They elect the person they want to become the President directly. They don't wait around to patiently choose representatives in parliament and hope to God that the representatives would choose their preferred leader. In this conversation with a 12-year old, we explore answers to questions such as 'Why do the French vote on a Sunday while the Americans vote on a Tuesday?' and 'Is voting common only for humans or do animals have democracy too'?Please feel free to shout out your questions or thoughts in an audio format and send the audio file via email at hello@wsnt.in.
