Agreed Eats..
I was a staunch remainer (became a remoaner also as I felt many had voted leave for wrong reasons (immigration))
However, its a democracy and leave won, so I thought, we have to get a good trade deal to ensure ease of trade strength of £ etc
The last 3 months I have been almost wishing for a No Deal - my concern is that we are now at 11th hour, and some cobbled up unsatisfactory deal will get done, whereas if we had said a few months ago - "Right, we are not doing a deal with Europe - this is what it means - x% tariffs on these imports. those exports, we will build seafood processing plants with govt support quickly etc"
This strong leadership I believe would've calmed those worried about a No deal - No hard border in NI, same as VAT regulations now etc
I am 100% sure I am simplifying this too much, but in essence a planned for No Deal for last 3 mths, I believe, would've given us a strong position economically.
As for translating this to CPI SP, I'm not sure it matters much - once the upheaval has passed, I think most LSE SPs will comeback strongly - maybe even another once in a generation chance to make big bucks again?
