    Don't worry Tankie, as long as Cameron keep up the austerity program & the economy is in the toilet there won't be much of an incentive.

      How can a French PM propose laws making it easier to get into the UK? Shouldn't the UK at least have some sort of say in the matter?

          We cut the highest rate of tax in the last budget to 45% (from 50%). M. Hollande proposes to increase the highest rate of tax in France to 75%. Where will they go?

          "France last ran a budget surplus in 1974. The French state currently consumes a communistic 56 percent of GDP.

          France's political elite are fixated with the idea that Europe should be organised according to some grand Cartesian design. What still passes for the centre right in France is so enamoured with the idea of the Euro - Europe's grand monetary fix – they have been rendered incapable of making the case for free market anything. The result has been a rout of free market forces in France.

          With Euro corporatism about the only thing that the French right has to offer, the left has triumphed. Last week, the French people elected a socialist President, on a promise that he will give France more of what has made her ill.

          My guess is that the prospect of 70 percent tax rates and dirigisme running rife across the channel will mean tens of thousands of bright, hard-working, entrepreneurial Frenchmen and women up sticks and move – to London and elsewhere.

          London is already the seventh largest French city, with tens of thousands of new arrivals each year.

          One of the consequences of Europe’s disastrous monetary union could be to drive yet more professional people across the English Channel away from the Eurozone in search of a more prosperous future for them and their families.

          The old Huguenots gave the Anglosphere distinguished names like Buffett, Courtauld, du Maurier, de Glanville and de la Billiere. I wonder what great names the new Huguenots will bestow on us?

          But we Brits should not be too smug. Our own government spends about half our national income and is still running up reckless debts. Now is the moment for us to radically liberalise our labour laws, give entrepreneurs tax breaks and get parasitical government off people’s backs.

          Get it right, and France’s loss could be England’s gain. Vive le laisser faire!"

                      Gee gunboat, the quality of your occasional comments just improves with each post. Should I assume that you are off to the UK to bask in the glory of a Tory-induced double dip recession, or are you still wearing a black armband after Marine Le Pen's failure to do better?

                      Hollande isn't especially my cup of tea, but he isn't the baby eating socialist the somewhat hysterical tone of angloshpere commentary would have you believe. Provided he isn't as stupid as those who have slavishly followed the austerity fetish France could do worse. The devil, however, may be in the detail. The French state is a difficult beast to get a handle on & an even more difficult one to reform - just ask Sarkozy.

                        Hmmm, hadn't considered that. Are the potatoes from a government run collective farm?

                          I did a bit of digging, but I could not find a single reference (on the beep or elsewhere) about Hollande making it easier to immigrate to the UK (also I find it a bit questionable how much a French President can influence this anyway). THe only statement regarding immigration were about France's like this one:

                            I've convinced myself that I'm funny.

                            I'll agree with that. I think Hollande will get a big surprise when he moves to forefill his election promises. Any politician in charge of France is not going to have a good time.

                            One thing is it will be very interesting to see how it turns out. I of course believe that France will head down the toilet. I may have to change my veiws on the world if Hollande's government manages to improve France's position. I can't see this happening though.

                              France is a curious beast on a good day and hellishly hard to wrangle. I think it was De Gaulle who commented 'how are you supposed to govern a nation with over 300 varieties of cheese'. I've always assumed that virtually anything Hollande promised was up for grabs once he got into power. It was an election where campaigning left and not being Sarkozy was always a winning formula. I suspect that at least some of Le Pen's policies look more socialist than anything Hollande is seriously contemplating. A seven year term leaves a lot of scope for unpopular decisions early on, and few Presidents can have been in a better position to blame the previous government for making him break an election promise.

                              One thing is it will be very interesting to see how it turns out. I of course believe that France will head down the toilet. I may have to change my veiws on the world if Hollande's government manages to improve France's position. I can't see this happening though.
                              He is going to be a mixed bag. One of the problems with being France is that you are closely joined with Germany as leaders of the EU. No decision he wants to make about big stuff will be straightforward. If he can put a brake on this austerity mania & encourage some sensible stimulus (spending and lending) he may be able to affect good beyond France. If he simply uses the abandonment of austerity to spend freely & without thought then things will probably get worse. Way too soon to know where he will end up.

                              Also keep in mind that The socialists need 100 more seats in the legislative elections next month to get an absolute majority. The outcome of those elections will have an impact on how this all turns out. While he will have more domestic political clout than a US President, Hollande does not have absolute authority.
