I agree with you that he should resign because he made a mess and does not follow the will of a majority of the French.
But as far as calling France a failed democracy that I do not agree with. A flawed democracy sure, but than again even a good democracy does not protect the people from making choices on flawed information or ignorance.
France is not a police state, I fully agree that the police is way too violent but that is not equal to a police state.
France has many problemes but it is still a democracy and they can still vote for change.

I did know about Lisbon. I remember hearing the Swiss canton of Vaud had around 60% of it's population was foreigners. Which resulted in the local Swiss no longer being able to afford any form of housing anymore.

Considering that the Dutch were below average before the second world war, I think your hypothesis is wrong. I think they were just compensating for being tiny during that time.
On a more serious note, I just think the Dutch had zero scruples (inventors of modern capitalism and all).
They just didn't care how many people they screwed over aslong as they could get one more Gulden in their pocket.
You do have the Renault 4 and 5 that are reasonably priced. And I think Fiat also has a reasonably priced model.
