France has a big, big problem with overemphasizing individual politicians over policies.
I think that's a "humans" problem, really, specially in the last few decades.
I know right? Some countries are much better about it though. In Ireland, Varadkar and Martin recently shared the Taoiseach (prime minister) role when neither of their parties won enough seats to form a government. There wasn't much fuss about it; it was just a reasonable compromise, so they went and did it.
