Ok Mick so you want a Marxist government. Yes why don't we add to the millions murdered by Marxism, as Maggie said what a good idea!

France is on the point of total melt down. We are 10 years on from the crisis and unemployment is 10% and their economy is barely growing.

Very doubtful snige besides Macron is dead politically. He's more extinct that the dodo. Really the bureaucrats have taken this pricess over entirely.

Jamesroo if Corbyns treatment and purging of his own MPs is anything to go by what will he do to political opponents? Most likely they will be locked up. Corbyn is a communist so will seek to control all means of production in the economy. As such Ur shares will be stolen from you if he becomes PM.

Soros be real a mean 2.8% tariff is actually a row of beans. The government taxes the economy at about 40% last time I checked. Why is a small tariff going to be so bad? Please explain? What is far worse than no deal brexit is this drift and uncertainty.

Think yr right scobie definitely be a drop in the panic of no deal but pretty certain the price would recover fast once a post brexit GDP figure shows once again Carney has it badly wrong.

In future there'll be a point where this is over valued as much as it's currently undervalued. Timing these things perfectly is impossible though.

Nokesa you could be right guessing short term sp movement is very hard. If you see anything sub 50 my recommendation would be pull the trigger! Good luck young man :)

The only politician I can see who remotely argues from first principles is JRM. I believe he is the only person who can negotiate brexit in our national interest. Whilst at the complete opposite end of the social spectrum to myself, having perdonally been born with much less than nowt, he is still the only person who talks any sense.

Lti my objection to the political world is ppl vote for ppl who talk complete bollax. Exhibit A, the EU ppl talk if it as a free trade arrangement when it's the complete opposite. The only politician who argued her philosophy from first principles and wasn't full of slushy minded sentimentality was Mrs T. Since she left office this country has been led by a bunch of slushy minded liars and fools.

Nokesa I honestly don't think we'll see 45p. Uncertainty is what is keeping this down. Talk of clean brexit causing a share melt down is highly unrealistic, but I can see why ppl think it when you have Carney bringing economic forecasting in to disrepute. But think about it there might be a few months minor inconvenience but having control of our own trade policy is a big plus medium term. Think if the EU as a jilted spouse, dragging out a divorce and agreeing spousal maintenance us a bad idea. Get it done fast and hand them no cash.

What creates prosperity is Adam Smith's invisible hand and allowing ppl economic freedom under the rule of law. Certainly not bureaucracy or elected fools. All systems run on greed be it capitalist, socialist, communist or facist. The question is what works best and creates the most wealth .

Troajan by your reckoning India and China should be the wealthiest places on earth. Have biggest populations.

Troajan pulling the strings In the world is generally expensive, us is a great example their government fritters so much money away trying to be grand fromage. The pay off trade deficits with everyone on earth virtually. Being small and unimportant is actually a good thing economically, the UK is around 30 millions workers with a market of 7/8 billion ppl worldwide. Think we will be ok.

Yes troajan Canada is poverty-stricken. My bestie lives there and he eats grewal every night for tea. His kids have rickets too.

How many seats for malta get in said parliament? How many do we get? Anyway EU parliament doesn't have legislative initiative so it's essentially a pointless talking shop that enjoy fat lunches as it moves from Strasbourg to Brussels unecessarily. Imagine if the house of representatives couldn't bring legislation, yanks would decide it was pointless very fast.

Again snige Ireland GDP per capita is comparable to here. They use EU freedom of capital law to divert revenue from US corporations across Europe by having 1 man and a dog offices in Dublin.

We should cut our corporation tax to 12% tell the EU to f off then welcome their businesses here.

Snige few points:

1) Paying 10 billion for trade isn't free trade by definition. It means all our pockets being stolen from to protect a select few producers whilst making goods like food much more expensive for the poor
2) Friedman prediction is not far off, the euro did nearly collapse it's hardly been a smooth ride. We are 10 years on from the crash and Italy, Spain and France have unemployment 10% or above. What happens to the euro next downturn? It collapses these once great countries don't want mass unemployment forever and a day.
3) the EU excluding the UK has a lower GDP than the USA. The EU isn't a country anyway, it's a dispirate set of countries trying to screw one another over. Also the population of the EU is 500 million. US population is about 315. So the US economy is far bigger per capita.
4) just because I hate the federalist undemocratic corrupt EU doesn't make me a racist

Unlikely the french are determined to meat out a punishment beating to the UK. That's their mentality they see the world as a zero sum game which it isn't. Why we must have the courage to leave with no deal
