A classic case of an "expert" talking out of his rear end

[NormanH]

We often see so-called 'experts' talking about various aspects of life in France, and getting it laughably wrong.

This one is a case in point:

"In terms of the impact on Brits buying in France, property expert Danny

Silver, of The Villages Group, says: “It is important to remember that

this election was simply a vote for the French presidency, not the

government, so there will be no particular implication on the real

estate market. It’s business as usual"

Does the chap understand how the Vth République works? That the new president chooses the ministers? Does he know that the whole Sarkozy government resigned and that the hand over of power is tomorrow? That he  will name his Prime minister then?

Has he read nothing of Hollande's policies?

It is true that the Assemblée will be elected in June, but although it might have a  majority who don't agree with  the President that could only lead to a sort of paralysis which would have a very negative effect on the country..

So true! But as we all know an "expert" can be described as follows:

an ex is a has been

and a spurt is a drip under pressure [:)]

Love it[;-)] He has probably only livedhere five mins and knows nothing of French administration or the way the country works.
