Whoever is in political power makes no difference to the country.

I just wanted to debate whether the party in power actual makes any difference to the overall economy of the country,
or indeed the planet.
It would seem to me that while the party in power can make local differences. A school here, a crossing there. When it comes to boom or recession
they are just riding a wave that they cannot influence one way or the other. Boom or bust is just a cycle that we can do Little about.
Of course the party in power will claim to have made a difference.
