The French economy, unemployment and taxes compare very poorly with Coalition Conservatism

In May 2015 the UK Voter faces a stark choice, as to who should be Prime Minister, for which there are only two choices. There is, however, assistance...an example of what we, here in the UK, would get if we voted for the two Eds to be PM and Chancellor. And it is France.

In France, run by Ed Miliband's friend and Socialist guru, Francois Hollande, they have:
- mega taxes [75%]
- businesses unable to grow or take on new workers
- unemployment at record levels, with shocking youth unemployment in particular
- and a country generally struggling to grow the economy

In this country we have:
- cut taxes
- allowed businesses to grow and take on more workers
- we, in the uk, have the fastest growing economy in Europe
- with employment levels that are improving all the time.

It is a simple choice in May. If you want an economy like France, unemployment like France etc etc vote for Ed Miliband and Ed Balls to run the country. I urge you not to, but you need to understand that there is mirror image over the Channel of what you would be voting for. As many have said before, why would you give the car keys back to the team who crashed your car in the first place?

France's failed socialist experiment is turning into tragedy

Yesterday, more evidence emerged of the disastrous decline of France, which has followed a strong left wing socialist agenda under President Hollande. 

I have blogged before of the growing economic mess of this country - whose fortunes can be compared with the likes of Ireland, or even Spain, both of which have cut their debts and public spending, and not taxed business and job creation into the ground. The Irish in particular have cut taxes to boost growth. The French have raised taxes to 75%. 

The impact has been to kill any chance of a French recovery stone dead. The perils for us in Britain are clear: it would be economic suicide to follow the Hollande policies in the UK. This is what Miliband / Balls propose.

Again, don't take my word for it - read below the comments and then full article of Allister Heath of City AM, who said: "France’s economic sickness is primarily due to its overbearing state, horrendously high tax levels, insane regulations, absurd levels of inefficient public spending and generalised hatred of commerce, capitalism, success and hard work."
