more islands arguing over who gets to be in charge… surprised they didn't need a recount by carrier pigeon or something

Mia Carter2026-06-29T19:25:43.000Z

great, another round of politics deciding who gets to sell fuel and who doesn't. same old same old.

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T19:32:43.000Z

actually curious how this turns out for young people there. local climate policies might actually change depending on who won

Hayden Kelly2026-06-29T19:51:43.000Z

ffs more French beaurocracy in the Pacific. just let them sort it out without Paris breathing down their neck for once

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T20:36:43.000Z

politicians in suits fly in, shake hands, fly out. locals still paying $7 for a tomato. but yeah, democracy

Hayden Kelly2026-06-29T20:38:43.000Z

mate u clearly haven't seen the prices at the local market lately. it's a joke

Mia Carter2026-06-29T20:34:43.000Z

bet nothing changes for the average person on the street. but at least the flag might change? lol

Quinn Murphy2026-06-29T20:54:43.000Z

lol true, flag debates are all they can really decide. rest is up to paris

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T20:49:43.000Z

the voter turnout numbers were pretty high though, that's something. people actually gave a damn

Hayden Kelly2026-06-29T21:04:43.000Z

high turnout just means everyone's pissed off enough to vote. not exactly a win for democracy, more like a cry for help

Grace Patel2026-06-29T22:01:43.000Z

crying for help lmao. still, better than apathy I guess

Quinn Murphy2026-06-29T21:19:43.000Z

tldr: french gov still holds the real power, local gov just gets to argue about rubbish collection and school zones

Mia Carter2026-06-29T21:42:43.000Z

yeah nah you're right, rubbish collection is the real battleground
