Pot kettle grimy bottom calling.
This is politics, and unless you provide evidence to the contrary I can keep my stance going forever.
Macroeconomics is just another series of theories as to how things can be described. Unfortunately it does not take in to account the public attitudes and may not reflect the true state of any single country. In order to try and cover this it is very complex and tbh I can't be arsed to read about it.
The issue here is are the UK and French economies sufficiently similar and I disagree. Britain was coming out of depression and now it has been put back into it. France has been bumping along the bottom, its economy is in a worse state than even Sarcozy's peeps have admitted.
A massive increase in government spending isn't going to do France any good. The chances are it will do the reverse. For the UK we were recovering, and had no change taken place then the economy would have been fine.
