France Collapses - Joe Blogs
In this video I discuss the current situation in FRANCE where the Prime Minister, who was only appointed in September, has resigned after a Vote of No Confidence. France is the 7th largest economy in the World and the 2nd largest in the European Union but is currently struggling with high levels of debt and unemployment and low industrial production and inflation. The French President will now have to appoint a new Prime Minister however as there is a hung parliament in France following the recent elections the new PM is likely to face the same problems as the one who has just resigned.
