A shining star in the French political sky seems to have some answers to the chaos of the EU. A" French presidential aspirant, Segolene Royal," although reported to be an admirer of Tony Blair, has some interesting views on the way things should be run in relation to trade and labour.One of her comments is, " the capitalists have to be frightened. There is no alternative. They, (capitalists) just can't dispose of people as they wish. They have to be held accountable".
She discusses the latest development in business to set up shop in areas of cheap labour. Her comment involves a garment factory proposing a move to Tunisia. "We have to prevent this wildcat outsourcing", she said. " The workers have no power. We need to tax businesses who want to move out jobs and tax their products when they re-import them".
" She also came out on Europe this week, supporting " social harmonisation" and promising to put an end to Britain's opt out from the EU's 48 hour maximum working week. She also wants the Europe to fight the export of jobs to low cost countries".
The report states ," her creed is what she calls 'participative democracy- initiatives' to give citizens more say in running schools, local government and other services". A predictable response has resulted in her being labelled," the Valkyrie" and " la tueuse", ( the killer). It seems this female has a good idea in relation to preventing the movement of production to low cost countries. The present trend of capitalism appears to have complete disregard for its own people and is running one huge garage sale of people and assets.
The one thing I find difficult to understand is that if jobs are moved to cheap labour areas, and lost to the country of origin, how do the then job-less people get the money to purchase goods. Apart from that it's better , in my opinion, to have a variety of choices rather than everything labelled PRC.
Whatever negatives there are regarding the French this seems to be a good idea where politicians look after their own people rather than allow them to be shafted by big business. Just a thought.
