I quite agree with the first part of your comment, but in my opinion, it is not only the history of France, but the history of democracy in general. Perhaps it is that it uses the power quickly will the more inclined towards the public good. Power, glory and wealth they have no reason to it, on red carpets and palaces in the compliments of the courtiers No more than his predecessors, this government deeds hoping for the common good, but more often special interests backed by their powerful lobbies. Pedestrians from everyday life, meanwhile, have only suffered, and the twist, gasping in effect until the next election where they will choose other leaders who will follow basically the same policy. And so on, and this in all countries where people vote freely..
As for insecurity, I think, but maybe I’m wrong, it is intimately related to the living conditions of the population. Living environment, employment situation, media model contribute significantly to influence the behavior of the weakest. It will be useless pile of safe, as they will not play on these levers ALSO (poverty, social justice, improvement of living conditions), we continue to fill a tub with holes. Of course, it’s longer, more complicated, less immediately visible than adding cameras, police and draconian laws at all street corners. And that, I do agree, the entire population lacks the necessary patience. We want results immediately, or is the fall in the polls. So obviously, when not only is there no visible results immediatly, but that surplus is not an excuse for a long term policy, what wonder of the collapse.
