Financial Times’ Post

France and other EU countries need to (quickly,intentionally) become more Euro-centric. Or will become incappable of keeping up with the private sector and hence relegated to the role of petulant regulator. Europe and France as part of Europe is already bureaucracy on top of bureaucracy. Need more vision and speed to sursaut. Need more education and alignment on figures and facts for a collective vision to emerge. Let’s drop the hate of the RN and move forward with what works. The US too. Cheers. ||

Analysis of Election Results: Economic and business Implications and my future Projections https://lnkd.in/dpQESM-4

Markets don’t like surprises or uncertainty and that’s just what President Macron delivered with the unexpected snap election as a result of the European election results. In the grand scheme of things it’s not going to impact the wider European situation with far right parties not making a lot of ground and the general composition of the Euro parliament remaining the same. For France hot on the back of the S&P downgrade and with focus on the fiscal deficit it does engender policy uncertainty and direction should the composition of the Nat Assembly change dramatically (albeit unlikely)

WA Communications General Election Briefing 👇 including my six guiding principles for political engagement over the coming days and weeks (plus a handy First 100 Days timeline): 1. An obvious point, but often overlooked, is how does your businesses agenda fit into what the Government will need to achieve politically after convincing millions of people to vote for them - Growth is Labour’s number one mission and is central to the success of Keir Starmer’s political project. 2. Whilst you may have been able to easily access Shadow Minsters and advisers when Labour was in Opposition, the apparatus of Government makes this more difficult. Set internal expectations accordingly! 3. With over 300 new MPs, businesses need to take time to get to know these new faces and their backgrounds. They will populate the Parliamentary select committees and groups which hold Government to account, and many of them will also be future ministers and leaders!   4. Many of the unprecedented results in this election were driven by local issues. The old cliche that ‘all politics is local’ holds more relevance now than ever, so understanding the constituency dynamic is key to getting cut through with new MPs.   5. Whisper it quietly, but if you did not take a detailed read of the Liberal Democrat manifesto now is probably a good time to do so. With seventy-one seats they are back as credible force in Parliament.   6. With the excitement of a change in Government and changing structures in Whitehall, remember the wider ecosystem. In the post-Brexit landscape, UK regulators hold significant powers that impact the operation of business and under a Labour Government consumer groups and unions will be influential in policy formulation. #GeneralElection #LabourGovernment #Business

France's recent legislative election has resulted in a divided National Assembly with no clear governing majority. Three ideologically divided blocks are vying for power, making government formation a complex puzzle. Potential government formations, including a NPF minority government, moderate coalition, and center-right minority government, face significant challenges and uncertainties. The situation is further complicated by Macron's Alliance being on the brink of splintering, and the Constitution preventing a legislative election within a year. This could lead to a period of instability and uncertainty, with no clear direction for the country. Alternative options, such as appointing a technocrat prime minister or dissolving the National Assembly and calling for new elections, are being considered. However, the outcome is uncertain, and Macron's leadership will be crucial in determining France's future direction. Please read the full article at the link below.
