You are mixing everything in one pot, that doesn't work like that, Japan and UK have politicians equal as France in term of moral, and in term of economic, we will have to define each other what is having a "good record" so that we can argue, are you talking about unemployment rate? GDP? Debt level?
Above all, here is the best counter example : Spain.
