The key quote (IMHO) from later in the article:
Only 16 percent of the French think that political leaders take their opinions into account, the IEP survey found. In contrast, 83 percent believe politicians ignore them – a figure that has remained essentially unchanged since the first such poll was conducted in 2008.
That’s not anger at government.
It’s anger at tyranny.
France sold its soul and liberty to big government.
And predictably, it’s a failure.
Best article on the yellow vests I’ve read so far in the USA:
Somewhere in Heaven, the Marquis de Lafayette is smiling.
When the cause behind some form of violence has a leftward thrust —right for “migrants”, for example, the lefty press coverage is heavy and detail packed.
When instead the cause is populist —middle-class can’t afford the basics and urban safety is going away— then footage is thin and coverage of the motives is scanty or absent.

That's what you're supposed to do, lady. You should be pleased that you are using less energy and "saving the planet."
'Course, you may ask why it's so cold when it's supposed to be getting intolerably warm, but don't worry your peasant head about it. Your betters know it's "science."
While it appears the term ‘vests’ is technically correct, it is more appropriate to call the revolutionaries “jackets,” synonymous with the yellow jacket wasp that swarms its enemy to sting it into surrender or even kill it.
There’s nothing wrong with anger at government. I’[m angry at the corrupt globalists who pretend to be conservative on the campaign trail and then betray real Americans once they are in office. The French knew what to do with those “let them eat cake” elitists 200 years ago. I hope the world still remembers.
