I have lived in both, and to me France main advantage is the housing supply is much better quality. We got rid of much old low quality buildings and replaced them with higher density buildings who are much better insulated and easier to heat and maintain. This does have a big impact on your quality of life. Also fresh food is more plentiful, cheaper and again better quality.

Austerity is a convenient line to cover incompetence. People complained that government spending decreased, but instead it increased. The real issue is not trying to tackle the rise in prices, be that for the NHS (which budget continued to grow during 'austerity' and after,) to defence procurement. And new projects, such as HS2 was a one-man ego trip, which ballooned and produced results lower than the 12 minutes it was projected to save, whilst pot holes and rail were neglected - look at Tory-Sussex. Many other reasons.

The UK grew faster outside the single market than it did inside, if you look at the data, although the peaks and troughs were slightly less extreme whilst in the single market. It's hard to compare 2024 with pre 1993, but obviously there's more to it than simply the EU or the single market. There's also a point to make that /if/ the single market was good for the UK economy it kept it in a beta state, allowing the structural problems be ignored as we were doing "well enough". After Brexit, there's no one to blame, and it definitely has highlighted in ever more detail the problems the UK has and they will hopefully be dealt with. The problems the UK faces are numerous, brexit being only one and definitely not the most important.

Here is the answer: there are three groups elected to Parliament. The 3 chiefs of staff of the 3 parties will make alliance offers and propose one leader(prime minister). In Germany this lasted 8 months! This will give the French breathing room, because few laws will be passed in the meantime. This will make civil servants happy because the continuity of the State is assured, and so are taxes.

There's a minimum of 44 million Muslims in Europe as a whole, including Russia. There's almost a Spain of Muslims in Europe and most of them were imported in the last few decades and it goes on even faster than before. Meaning in a generation there will be 100 million Muslims in Europe, bigger population than any country of the EU, including the Germany, all thanks to the visionary leftists and centrists.

The biggest problem that the new government in the UK face is that the debt to gdp ratio is 200 percent which means that they have limited power to make investments in the infrastructure of the country which is probably the most efficient way to get the economy growing. They also need to make enormous changes to planning law or the possibility of outside investment is remote. They need to make building possible by changing their green belt areas and limiting the ability of people to object to developments to try to make the building of new housing a more efficient and attractive proposition , an increase in supply would make housing more affordable for the general population and the knock on effect would leave people with more spending power to drive on the economy. Unpopular decisions have to be made and any delay in making them will lead to further economic stagnation and the need to increase taxes just to maintain the already subpar civil services and cost of borrowings .

Another major point that I should have been corrected on is that GB has a very large number of vacant homes, many derelict but unfortunately they are not where people want to live eg the port of Glasgow has whole estates completely abandoned, quite nice red brick buildings with quite large apartments just left to disintegrate. The infrastructure is already in place somewhere like this and if the government really wanted to invest it could rejuvenate this area with new employment opportunities and renovated homes, there are plenty of places all over the nation where with some imagination and investment a few million people could be housed and employed.

If I remember correctly HS2 has so far cost us taxpayers ( not the Government ) about 100 thousand million quid. Ie 3 nuclear power stations, those stations making the UK more energy independent from other interests.

I think it would have been interesting to look how both countries' GDPs compared in terms of their main industry. I have the feeling that France and the UK were hit quite badly by offshoring, leading to large deficits in our trade balances. I think that this situation is one of the reason why in both countries the countryside workers have felt less engaged, and sometimes out of the countries' evolution. An other interesting point of comparaison in between the two countries is also the disproportionate weight of its capital city, Paris and London are for both countries the largest economic zone, and have been acted as locomotive, concentrating growth and job opportunities around them.

Oh, it's not a feeling. No country in Europe suffered more than France and the UK from offshoring to Asia, eastern Europe and Maghreb. Our respective industries literally ran off to China. The UK took the hit a bit earlier, in the 80s, while France was really struck down in the 90s, but the results are the same. Although, to be honest, both countries had ceased to be top-tier manufacturing powers as early as the 1910s, suffering from German, Japanese and American competition.

The UKs problem has been for the last few decades the perverse incentive of property as an investment. It sucks up money from everywhere, that would be more productive if it was invested into business. But when you’ve got a guaranteed and fairly substantial profit on simply sitting on a bit of land or building, what’s the point? The UK has produced a lot of great research which in theory should allow it to be innovative and produce more, but there’s a massive gap between academia and industry where that research rarely translates into a product or business. This is my opinion so take it with a grain of salt, but this is one of the core issues the UK needs to tackle if it’s ever going to flourish. Or otherwise just become the land of geriatric nimbies, foreign millionaires and bankers flogging each other parcels of land.

Is this British low productivity thing got anything to do with moving from a manufacturing to service economy?
@AIJimmybadАй бұрын
It's due to continual mass immigration of low skilled workers. No incentive to train workers to be more skilled and therefore more productive when there is a never ending supply of cheap labour.
@GRY890Ай бұрын
@@AIJimmybad That's true because myself and one my friend cannot find a decent job for months but apparently it has got to do with high interest rates but I'm not sure that relates to mass immigration, you can correct me on that.
@catalinpreda4666Ай бұрын
@@AIJimmybad It's because UK employers don't invest as much as counterparts in Germany, France or US. You had the influx of low skilled immigrants because your employers were happier to reduce their cost with labor instead of actually improving their business or inovating. Your neoliberal government lowered corporate taxes and privatized your whole economy creating monopolies like those in utility companies. If your government protects your profit and you have access to cheap labor why bother investing? If the government doesn't invest in anything from infrastructure or research in the past 30 years and runs the country on austerity mode, why swim against the current and invest? The productivity gap is just a reflection of decades of under investment. You focus on low skilled immigrants, but there is a very large group of immigrants that studies in your universities and outperforms the local population getting better results and and high skilled jobs, and many immigrants starting businesses, making profits and paying tax. The English government helped the ultra rich rob the English population and uses these immigrants as scapegoats. Time to wake up

Both push growth with mass immigration which pushes land and property prices exponentially whilst lowering wages. More people means less to go around. When people have insecure temporary jobs and low pay they stop spending. Add in Ai which will permanently cull 1.6 billion jobs in the next 3 years its already hitting Banking Warehousing Administration and Retail shopping. France does still have a manufacturing base the UK does not as it is now just a low wage service economy. Dyson has just shut down 1000 UK jobs and moved to Indonesia. Flooding your country with 3rd world no skill people is not a great idea in an era of contracting industry and rising Ai.

@@lucaj8131 I am French and if the economic situation becomes too difficult, I am thinking of moving to the USA. I don't know the situation in the United Kingdom at all, but this crisis that we are experiencing is completely the result of the choice of the political and economic elites. Starting in the 70s and 80s, they liquidated the country's industrial apparatus through relocation. Germany and (northern) Italy have preserved it. They were even ready to liquidate French nuclear power, by ideological views. The Russian gas crisis has brought some reality back into this great nihilism. From now on, the country's debt rating will be gradually downgraded, and budgets will become more and more difficult to maintain. And the country has just elected the far left which will further increase taxes which are already at a staggering level, and further increase the debt. In short, good luck to the British, but I am pessimistic about the French situation.

France has a strong manufacturing sector, it produces and export power, and it is a member of the biggest single market in the world. Soft power wise is comparable to the UK’s. That’s all the good things going on for it which are not trivial. On the other hand the UK… well it just elected a new government that it’s inheriting a country in shambles. It has its own currency which can devaluate to oblivion while fuelling inflation but yeah at least it has that flexibility. That’s about it really

@GarcwynАй бұрын
@@NexusGamingRadical in what way is wrong please? Not even the USA enjoys the tradeless friction that the EU single market enjoys. California for example has stricter environmental standards that could pose problems for other states trading with it, for example on automobiles. Shipping alcohol across state lines is notoriously complicated. The list of examples goes on and on. One of the tenets of the European single market is convergence of regulations and standards so it has the same level playing field for all its members. At least for goods it’s quite efficient in this respect. That’s what I mean with a single market. Practically it means that if you are a manufacturer in let’s say Spain and you want to export to Germany if you comply with your local regs and standards automatically you will comply with Germany’s and the other 25 members. It’s that easy. If you are manufacturer in Ohio complying with your local regulations can you readily export to California or other states? No! Most likely yes, don’t take me wrong, but you cannot GUARANTEE for sure that Ohio is perfectly aligned to California. It depends on the goods being traded, etc, etc. Although the USA is one economy its market has some friction. I’d be pressed to call it a single market. It’s an imperfect one. A market is not only defined by how much in monetary terms is being traded within. There are others dimensions to it. The european single market is the biggest in the world. I rest my case

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward.
