I'll tell you what though the more this Euro fiasco plays out the more i am convinced we should follow Americas lead and keep out of European affairs as much as possible

It's not excellent news that the Eurozone is in trouble, we live in Europe and do most of our trade with them. If they fail it hurts us!

It is excellent news, because the Euro is the problem. The longer it lives, the longer the Eurozone will remain flat and uncompetitive, and as you point out, most of our trade is with that bloc so that affects us.

If the Euro crashes and burns it will be painful in the short term but for the long term it can only be good.

I wasn't taking about the single European currency, I was talking about the rise of political extremism or at least a departure from a more centrist view in France and Greece. While this may be good news for some peoples political ideologies this is unlikely to be good for their respective economies which is in turn bad for ours.

The eurozone may be broken but letting it crash and burn is not the best way to fix it.

Fully agree, We need it to collapse and then we can start again as it should have been. We have countries trying to impose there ideoligy on others through the Euro and i for one want none of it.

I must say he is wearing that like a pro. The shirt/tie/football shirt combination is certainly new.

Now that Hollande and the Socialists are in power in both parts of government. I hope they fix the last governments mistakes and make France better, along with helping save the Eurozone

We'll be welcoming all the tax exiles with open arms. Better they pay some of our taxes than Frances proposed 75% income tax. :)
If that happened, then either the Left Front (Group of Far-Left Parties including Communists) or National Front will end up running France after 2017
