the major difference between parliamentary and the presidential system is that : \nd) presidential systems have an independent chief executive\n\nIn French politics, "left" generally stands for\nb) welfare measures\n\nThe expression "they learned nothing and they forgot nothing," was meant as a criticism of the\nc) Bourbons. (with capital B)\nIn Fact Charles De Talleyrand would have said that after the French Nobles came back to France after the fall of Napoleon I.\nThe Bourbons were the royal family of France before and after the French revolution

First of all, the big issue is how the French laws treat employers.  It is incredibly expensive to do business in France due to taxes, employee benefits, and the like.  For example, a new employee is entitled to a minimum of 5 weeks vacation to start.  Also, the cost to an employer is about 2x what he or she must pay an employee.  So, for example, if an employee makes 1000 Euros per week, an employer must pay about 2000 Euros per week to the government for things like Securite Sociale and the like.  Also, if you hire someone, it is almost impossible to fire them, even if they are incompetent.\nIf I were an American employer, I could think of many other places that I would rather do business than France.  Until the French people allow their economic laws and regulations to change, France will continue to be a terrible place to start a business.

I cant help you a lot, but french endorsed the revolution of the colonies in the us, in fact i think they even sent troops at the time consisting of the royal navy.\n\nAs of the second part, the people of both spain and france were and are totally against the occupation of iraq, i was in madrid at the time and a manifestation of 1.5 millon people crowded madrid`s center "puerta del sol" regardless of what their at the time president Mr. Aznar said. so you have a big dicotomy there, goverment endorsed the US, and people deplored it.\n\nFrance on the other side, both goverment and people were actively involved and against the iraq invasion.

It's too bad it's due tomorrow.  You could have had a lot of fun with the project.  Like pretend that you're a French Travel Agent and you're showing tourists the different sites and customs in France.\n\n- Doing something historical about Napolean.\n- Write a report on another French painter: Edgar Degas or Edouard Manet (different from Claude Monet as you mentioned)\n- Something about the Man in the Iron Mask (not the movie, the real person)\n- Something about Mont Saint Michel, the most visited tourist site in France\n- the Tour de France\n\nThe possibilities are endless.  Good luck.  ;)

Oui, Le Pen a dit que Domenech avait exagéré sur la proportion de joueurs de couleur en équipe de France. Domenech a répondu hier en conférence de presse "qu'en politique il y a beaucoup d'imbéciles, en particulier lui" .... il a pas forcément tort le raymond !

The constitution of the Fifth Republic was approved by referendum on September 28, 1958. It greatly strengthened the authority of the executive in relation to Parliament.\n\nUnder the constitution, the President of the French Republic is elected directly by universal adult suffrage for a 5-year (originally 7-year) term. Presidential arbitration assures regular functioning of the public powers and the continuity of the state. The president names the prime minister, presides over the cabinet, commands the armed forces, and concludes treaties.\n\nThe French parliament is a bicameral legislature comprising a National Assembly (Assemblée Nationale) and a Senate. The National Assembly deputies represent local constituencies and are directly elected for 5-year terms. The Assembly has the power to dismiss the cabinet, and thus the majority in the Assembly determines the choice of government. Senators are chosen by electoral college for 6-year terms (originally 9-year terms), and one half of the seats are submitted to election every 3 years starting in September 2008.[4]\n\nThe Senate's legislative powers are limited; in the event of disagreement between the two chambers, the National assembly has the final say, except for constitutional laws (amendments to the constitution & "lois organiques"). The government has a strong influence in shaping the agenda of Parliament.\nThe United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, with executive power exercised on behalf of the Queen by the Prime Minister and other cabinet ministers who head departments. The cabinet, including the Prime Minister, and other ministers collectively make up Her Majesty's Government. These ministers are drawn from and are responsible to Parliament, the legislative body, which is traditionally considered to be "supreme" (that is, able to legislate on any matter and not bound by decisions of its predecessors). The UK is one of the few countries in the world today that does not have a codified constitution, relying instead on custom and separate pieces of constitutional law.\n\nWhile the monarch is Head of State and theoretically holds all executive power, it is the Prime Minister who is the head of government. The government is answerable chiefly to the House of Commons and the Prime Minister is drawn from this chamber of Parliament by constitutional convention. The majority of cabinet members will be from the House of Commons, the rest from the House of Lords. Ministers do not, however, legally have to come from Parliament, though that is the modern day custom. The British system of government has been emulated around the world - a legacy of the United Kingdom's colonial past - most notably in the other Commonwealth Realms. The Prime Minister is chosen as the MP who can command a majority in the House of Commons - usually the leader of the largest party or, if there is no majority party, the largest coalition. The current Prime Minister is Tony Blair of the Labour Party, who has been in office since 1997.\n\nIn the United Kingdom the monarch has extensive theoretical powers, but his or her role is mainly, though not exclusively, ceremonial. The monarch is an integral part of Parliament (as the "Crown-in-Parliament") and theoretically gives Parliament the power to meet and create legislation. An Act of Parliament does not become law until it has been signed by the Queen (known as Royal Assent), although no monarch has refused assent to a bill that has been approved by Parliament since Queen Anne in 1708. Although the abolition of the monarchy has been suggested several times, the popularity of the monarchy remains strong in spite of recent controversies. Support for a British republic usually fluctuates between 15% and 25% of the population, with roughly 10% undecided or indifferent [2]. The current monarch is Queen Elizabeth II who acceded to the throne in 1952 and was crowned in 1953.\n\nParliament is the national legislature o

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/060606/france_working_seniors.html?.v=1\n\nIs this it?\n\nFrench Government to Promote Jobs for Older Workers \n\n\nPARIS (AP) -- France's government on Tuesday unveiled a plan to fight unemployment among workers aged 55-64 and encourage companies to keep senior citizens on their payroll.\nThe key measure of the bill is a temporary work contract for unemployed people over age 57. The 18-month contract, renewable once, is intended to give companies more flexibility if they hire older workers, who are often overlooked in favor of younger, cheaper hires.\n \nAnother provision would abolish a tax on companies that fire workers over 50. The government says the tax penalizes older workers by discouraging companies to take them on.\n\nThe plan would also eventually prohibit companies from forcing employees to retire before age 65.\n\n"For 25 years, seniors have too often been left by the side of the road," Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said, explaining the plan.\n\nOnly 37.3 percent of French people between the ages of 55 and 64 are employed, one of the lowest rates in Europe. The government hopes to bring that figure up to 50 percent in four years.\n\nEarlier this year, Villepin put forward another job plan meant to reduce youth unemployment. But that move triggered weeks of massive protests by students and labor unions that weakened the conservative government. Villepin eventually scrapped the measure.\n\n\nI think you need to be more specific w/ your question.

France has a parliamentary system similar to the British system, except that it also has a president.  In a parliamentary system a government is formed by the party who recieves the most votes (and therefore has the most members in parliament).  If no one party wins the majority of the seats in parliament then a coalition is formed of several parties.  The prime minister is the head of the government and is chosen by the members of the party or coalition with the majority of the seats in parliament.  The cabinet ministers are chosen in a similar fashion.

Congratulations! I guess that means that you've spent 1000 points on asking questions (some were probably returned if you chose a best answer, but anyway...). \n\nWell, remember all of those matches held between French and Italian fans? I'm sure that a considerable amount of your questions were of that nature. =) The entertaining kind.
