French PM Resigns Before Job Description Printed

Sébastien Lecornu, the shortest-serving French Prime Minister in recent memory, has reportedly thrown in the towel before the ink had even dried – or perhaps, before the template for his official duties had been located in the departmental archives. One could almost feel a flicker of sympathy, for who among us hasn't accepted a role only to discover the entire organization runs on passive aggression and lukewarm coffee?

His Excellency cited the rather quaint notion of "partisan appetites" among the political class, lamenting their steadfast refusal to engage in anything resembling a functional compromise. It's a truly baffling predicament: how can one govern when the very individuals tasked with governance are more concerned with ideological skirmishes than, say, ensuring the actual job description for the nation's leader is printed? Perhaps Mr. Lecornu anticipated a role with a detailed bulleted list of responsibilities, only to find the entire brief comprised of "survive." The Élysée Palace has yet to confirm whether they will now advertise for a 'Prime Minister, role requirements TBD, must enjoy gladiatorial combat and existential dread'.
