          after just nine months. With four prime ministers in the past 20 months, the fall of French governments, once unusual, has become close to mundane.

          Bayrou lost a confidence vote that he had called in Parliament to confront France’s ballooning debt. The far right party led by Marine Le Pen and a group of left and far-left parties, holding a clear majority between them, rejected Bayrou’s ideas, including a freeze on welfare payments and the elimination of two national holidays. Le Pen suggested cutting spending on immigrants instead.

          What comes next?

          Emmanuel Macron issued a statement saying he would accept the resignation of Bayrou today and name a new prime minister “in the next few days.” Naming a new prime minister from Macron’s group of centrist allies, however, could lead to more political turmoil. Street protests against austerity and Macron himself are scheduled for tomorrow.

          “There’s an adage that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result,” Roger Cohen, our Paris bureau chief, said. “There’s no reason to think why another centrist prime minister would not be equally paralyzed.”

         <span>
          France has become nearly ungovernable because the old alternation between power on the moderate left and right has been replaced by the growing dominance of political extremes. The country does not have a tradition of coalition building, as is the case in Italy or Germany.
