France is embroiled in a heated debate over its electoral system, as political stalemate grips the nation.
The current two-round majoritarian voting system is under scrutiny for failing to produce a clear majority in the National Assembly, leading to a fragmented political landscape.
Public law professor Guillaume Drago argues for a shift to a single-round majoritarian system to ensure stability.
Meanwhile, François Bayrou, a long-time advocate for proportional representation, believes the current crisis highlights the need for electoral reform.
He suggests a referendum to adopt proportional representation, which he claims would foster genuine political diversity and cooperation.
As France navigates this political impasse, the debate over electoral reform remains a contentious issue, with significant implications for the country's governance.
