French Yes ‘will boost Europe's economy'

Solving Europe’s economic doldrums is simple apparently.

Europe's stuttering economy will get a much-needed boost if France votes Yes in next week's referendum on the European Union constitution, according to the EU's monetary affairs chief, Joaquín Almunia.

Now I am no expert of the calibre of Mr Alumnia, but I am convinced that labour reform would be more effective and longer lasting. After all the constitution casts in stone the stupidity that is the European Social Model. Not the most rational way to boost the European economy.
