Different

 Same problem, different solution. The newly elected Lower House

of the French Parliament finds itself with a minority government, just

as Canada's Liberals did at the last Canadian election. And, as in the

Canadian case, a joint vote with a party adjacent on the political spectrum

could facilitate passing bills. But Les Républicains, to the Right of

Emmanuel Macron's centrist party and expected to throw in their lot, 

are not joining forces with the government. Instead, they have chosen to stay 

in the oppostion, and either vote against or abstain to whatever is proposed. 

Cleartly, they are not imposing any a priory conditions for supporting the 

government; things will go case by case. This could make for a very tumultuous 

government...

To be fair, the separation of powers is somewhat different between the two

countries with France - like the United States - enjoying a very strong President

who holds executive power. Morover, the French Senate, chosen on a regional basis, 

(and calmer with 6-year mandates renewed every 3), still reviews Lower House laws. 

Les Républicains have been strong in the Senate throughtout the entire Vth Republic

(1958-...).

The numbers:

FRANCE

CANADA

Will be following to see how this pans out!!
