You took the words right out of my mouth, Wizard.
Exactly, a nuanced comment is followed by another nuanced reaction. That's what makes a debate worthy and respectful. You took the words out of my mouth. I would however erase the brackets.
Motion of no confidence tabled by Labour MPs against Corbyn.
Although a little confusing as I wasn't aware he ever had any.
Now for Texit
very impressive speech from Sturgeon, would not surprise me if they do leave the UK and return to the EU, amazing times,
PS I hope some of you took my tip re T May as a future PM? her odds have come down nicely
I would take May over Johnson.
The problem with Theresa May is that she was in the REMAIN camp so she doesn't really deserve to benefit from LEAVE winning the referendum in my humble opinion. The same goes for the odious Osborne. Johnson, Gove and Co. did win the argument after all and thus should be the ones to benefit from it as they staked their political reputations on it. Johnson is popular with the ordinary people so I would like to see him as our next Prime Minister but I'd be happy with Gove too or one of the others in the LEAVE camp.
Boris is slippery and duplicitous and Gove is more of a wet fish than Corbyn.
This is a wake up call. The first major salvo to the political class and moneyed interests. Don't continue to overlook the basic welfare and well being of the common man and woman. Enough with 'trickle down' corporatism. Engage your population more and at least make an attempt to show that you give a sh#T.
The aftermath for Britain will be tumultous for about 3-5 days on the financial markets, and perhaps 6 months politically, but the world will not end.
The pound will reset to a more comfortable 'trade weighted' level during that time. There will be an interest rate impact but that will come a little later. For now they have to let the pound be the shock absorber.
The #1 thing that they are all worried about (although they may hide it) is a banking contagion. That is what has to be 'contained' immediately and forcefully. Carney is competent, and he will be the man of the hour now.
I can assure you that real estate values will hold, at least 6 months out, but they will have to relax foreign buying restrictions to attract capital.
A deal would not surprise me for May to get the job, deal with the exit negotiations whilst Boris is home secretary and then Boris takes over as leader for the next election (things will have calmed down by then) and Boris's connection with the out campaign less of an issue
May was 6 to 1 a week ago, now around three to one
If the Netherlands are considering leaving the EU that would be a very significant development considering they were one of the founding members of the Treaty of Rome that established the initial Common Market or European Economic Community. Such a LEAVE result would certainly be a real sharp slap in the face to the Pan-European ambitions of the Eurocrats who selfishly desire ever closer and closer union!
The world is a scary place at times
Can the uk rejoin in a year or so after they get their nationalist feelings out of their way.
This is the crux of it. A failure to engage.The other issue is that the London centric, liberal intelligentsia have no interest in a dialogue with the disenfranchised. They continue to sneer and poke the dog with a big stick and it has finally bitten. In the end it was an issue too complex to put to the people, but the people have spoken. Hopefully those who blame the EU for domestic issues will realise that very little will change without devolution of power on a national level. What you have to ask yourself is, 'Does Boris Johnson give a fuck about Sunderland?'. Unlikely.
Paradoxically, I think Germany/France/Italy may have to close ranks first in order to stabilize around the 'core' before doing anything else, in order to prevent any contagion.
Draghi will be critical too. Central Bankers will run the show for the next few months.
Labour don't know where they want to be. To the right - tainted by New Labour; to the left - deemed to be unelectable.
Intellectuals will be the death of us; they nearly always get it wrong.
Labour are always weak with 'waste of space ideals'. Thanks god the tories are still in power despite the potential economic issues with Brexit.
A good point was made by a pundit last night. None of these experts spotted the run on the banks. The queues of people trying to take their cash out is still fresh in the mind, where were the experts then? They are a busted flush and I can see why.
Hear, hear!
