The general consensus seems to be which ever party is in power has the most control over the economy.

Are you under the impression that they don’t?

I think that’s only a consensus among people who don’t understand the economy very well. The truth is politicians have very little control over the economy particularly in the short term. At most politics is able to nudge the economy very slightly like the rudder on a massive ship that takes years to turn.

It’s pretty difficult to control a lot of the economy still, especially where international concerns like the OPEC price setting cartel is concerned, yet oil prices are often blamed on leadership.

I guess, thank you for your response.

And the Sinclair Media Group.
To answer OP’s question succinctly, yes, and they do.
