It's not always that they don't "want" the job, mind you. The situation is just so fucking FUBAR that while some quit like Lecornu, others just get censored and forced to leave, due to the current political power being weakened because it's experiencing the ONE exceptional situation the Vth Republic was normally designed to avoid, where no party has any real power, and that any government is now stuck between two large oppositions. Let me (roughly) summarize you the current political crisis.
Ground Zero is when Macron dissolved the former National Assembly (the 500+ niggers who vote the laws and shit). He didn't really appreciate the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) wiping the floor with everyone during the municipal elections just before (which lasts only 1 turn, so he couldn't really do shit about it), so not even a day after said elections, he nuked the Assembly in a fit of butthurt, leading to sudden general elections to reform it. This election can have two rounds: if there isn't an absolute majority in a district, the two leading candidates, plus those who at least scored 12.5% of the votes, would remain for round two. At this moment, the lefists and Macron's buddies would make a strategy.
To have any hope for a large number of seats in the Assembly, five lefist parties, who normally can't stand each other, would fuse into one big party called the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP). This "not very new" party (they already did that once to win elections before, and it broke just as fast) and Macron's party (Ensemble Pour la République, or EPR) somewhat made a deal to profit from the "Republican Front" effect (a mindset engraved to everyone far-left to center-right that can be roughly summarised as "RN bad"): every third place candidate that is not the RN would resign, funneling his votes to the one guy who goes against an RN opponent.
This strategy worked well, too well in fact: While the RN would usually "win" the first round in many districts, they remained relative majorities, so when the "barrage" was raised on round two, where all the good goys (pejoratively called the "beavers") voted RN's opposition no matter who, the RN was then overwhelmed by boosted opponents who recieved votes from people who would normally hate each other, but really, really, really REALLY didn't want the racist fascist sexist whateverist RN to win, and what should have been a victory for the RN turned into a phyrric victory for the NFP, who only gets a few deputies more on the assembly than EPR, and RN being just behind with also a small margin. No one really won, and shit hit the fan.
Considering no one had any real lead (the NFP's lead is only like 20 seats), that means every single government that would then be formed will be weak as fuck, having to deal with two thirds of the Assembly being pretty much the opposition: on the right side, RN, now projected winner of an anticipated Presidential election (should it happen now) and is getting mightier by the second because the people are now so tired of Macron, the "Republican Front" effect is fucking dead, and on the left side, the former NFP (because of course it could break), and mainly the biggest party out of the five, La France Insoumise (LFI), who are basically unhinged quinoa-eating, Muslim sucking, riot inducing nutjobs who deliberately try to worsen the crisis because they realized 20 more seats ain't shit.
Add to it the fact that the passing governments simply cannot find satisfactory solutions to the country's problems (rising debt, uncontrolled immigration, taxes not being spent wisely, the list goes on), and you get an absolutely incomprehensible shitshow where Macron cannot find a guy among his ranks who can stand long enough as a PM before getting sacked by a motion of censure, or just quiting.
I wonder if this kid's proud of his little shitfit.
