Michel Barnier's cabinet, formed in September, did not survive to the end of the year, losing a vote of confidence just three months after the conservative's appointment as prime minister. This is a record short term, and Barnier's successor (whoever it may be) will not find friendlier conditions. France is likely to face more months of political instability.
