  Looks like Germany is going to have to come up with a growth plan that they can live with.
  
  Interesting times ahead.

  I don't understand, the polls have just closed, how can they be sure? It took us ages to get the GLA and Major election results.

  LOL, I actually tried googling 'IBS' thinking it was some sort of French news agency I should be checking out!
  
  I suppose our country has always had an uneasy relationship with France - centuries of conflict and all that. Personally, I've always liked 'em - a very cultured nation, I'd say, with their food, their wine, their art and their passion.
  
  So more over here (if a possible outcome) = good!

  We have a cunning plan to stop that. We'll make them languish at passport control for weeks.

  More intelligent, sensible, educated people in.
  
  More closed-minded, moronic leeches out.
  
  ... would do no end of good for the country.
  
  Shame it'll never work out that way.

  I have no doubt that Hollande will adopt the same measures as
  Sarkozy as France is as skint as we are and he knows it.
  
  Expect the German gnome Merkel will soon tell him what he has to do next.

  In the enormity of government, there are several ways of achieving the same task, in this case balancing the books.
  
  There is an alternative to unabated austerity that stifles the economy through fear of unemployment and the squeezing of the finances of those that drive the economy - the average citizen.

  Are you moving to France, or staying here?
