Should France Focus on Economy or Social Issues?

Deciding what's legal and having the benefits or consequences of it, will happen a hell of a lot quicker than stabilizing an economy, which is far from a guarantee.

One house meeting or one national vote can decide this thing in a month. economies can take years, maybe decades to fix.

ECONOMY is more critical at this time!!!

You can do both actually. Pass an econ bill AND a social issues bill. Not to mention pass what reforms you can pass, no matter if its economy or social

The french are doing OK; the Brits raised taxes on the rich 2 years ago and killed their economy; the Brits are having to repeal the act while the french are buying up the UK at bargain prices.

British or English please. :)) The English government have just lowered the taxes for the rich whilst attacking the poorest and vulnerable in society and taking away benefits leaving people destitute: benefits they have paid for out of their taxes and national insurance stamp, for the day they cannot work, or lose their job. Once they lose their unemployment benefit, or ESA if you are sick and cannot work at that time, they lose their homes as well since they lose their housing benefit and council tax benefit. They are hammering the unemployed hard, demonising them and the disabled, cutting money by means of sanctioning for any excuse they can find, or even tiny misdemeaners, really just to save money whilst giving muslims free money and housing, and giving billions of our money to terrorist states and anyone who comes into the country who has not paid into our tax system, so should get nothing.

It's always "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" with you Givement liberals.

Well Tuna, nice to see you have not improved in any way shape of form. You are still nasty. Oh well, glad I can rely on you to be the complete ass.
I am not a liberal either. I do not vote, and have no political leanings at all.

I have a HUGE friends list; was it something I said?

So do I, and you are not on it, I wonder why?

And no Ginger it is England, we are no longer UK, since Scotland is leaving to go it alone and the Welsh are to follow. I

Crack on

Yes, your cracks are indeed showing.

huh?

Just as I thought.

N. Ireland is part of the UK as well also and Scotland wont separate, despite what you might think, and if they wanted to, now would be the worst possible time.

As for Wales they will always be part of the UK, they have no international ackowldgment or any real way to sustain themselves as a modern society.

Scotland is likely going to separate, they are talking about it now. I know N. Ireland is part of England, but Wales is considering being Wales, and go it on their own. I live in England, I have Scottish relatives, and their parliment is seriously thinking of leaving, and the people are all for it.

Wales is also thinking of leaving. If they want to go it alone, fine that is up to them. Scotland has found a way to go it alone, and Wales are seeking ways to leave as well.

British? Do you mean the UK?

I said Brits and UK not british.

UK =/= British

I know I watched Benny Hill and now Wheeler Dealers, crack on.

And I forgot Mr. Bean

England actually and most of us prefer it. UK and Britain are new inventions that most of us dislike.

Lighten up.

Sod off comes to mind, but also, it is England and that is how nearly all of us prefer it.

My British friends always use UK; what does it matter? We like Americans although the enitre hemisphere is American.

You have friends? Wow. Yes, many do use UK, but equally most do not like it at all and identify with England, which is what it is called England, and linked to the language we speak, English. Like the French from France who speak French.

Why are you so hostile? Buzz off !!

Nice, try to turn it on to me. YOU were the one who was hostile in the begining. Are you trying to say only you can be hostile?
FYI, you are equally as sarcastic to me.

Where???? I'm joking around about Benny Hill, Mr. Bean and you start the insults; see ya; don't need your drivel.

There you go again with the insults and hostility. What a twister you are. Epic fail.

I'll be there next week; let's do lunch.

Fantastic. What do you want to eat? I hear snake poison is de rigour now. Or a mallet to the head? I do a nice line in herb salad and tuna.

As long as it is not that haggas, or some other animals innards.

I hear you. Horrid stuff. It stinks. I smelled it once and boy, that was enough! And black pudding it the other, and no it will not be that either, the look of it, let alone the name, just puts me off.

While social issues are important. the economy is more so.

How about they focus on both. Also, there is no "traditional" marriage. Cut the conservative BS

Marriage in which the man & the woman pro-create is traditional; hell there is no other marriage unless you marry thespices into the stew at the very end or marry two pieces of wood together to make it stronger. Dogs do not marry.

"Marriage in which the man & the woman pro-create is traditional"

According to what tradition? In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, it is taught that polygamy is okay. Also it is taught that women are to be subservient to men. If that is tradition, then tradition is crap.

Also, homosexual marriages were recognized thousands of years ago.

"Also, homosexual marriages were recognized thousands of years ago."

Yep, even the Roman Empire was gay for gays.
