I have to say a Boris win would be good for Metro as long as Odey,Cohen and Bacol have stopped playing games transferring shares on the cheap.The other banks will pop a bit but this idea that £500bn of investment will arrive on our shores is ludicrous.Investors will not invest until the UK completes a trade deal and we finally know what our position in the world is which will be years away.
A hung parliament with a Labour majority requiring the cooperation of other parties will lead to higher spending but to believe they will achieve their ambitions in just one parliament when it took Thatcher with sizeable majorities three sessions to close the coal/steel industry and privatise water, gas, rail, electric ,BT are nuts.
Labours policy on Brexit has to take priority in the first year and if they do what they say then it's either leave with a customs union and no requirement for trade deal talks or remain all within 6 months,which would give them another £30bn to spend within the first year.
Polls suggest Tory win.
