Exactly Suzy, proportional representation leads to disproportional representation.
You wouldn't get a 4% party deciding national issues if they had a first past the post system.
I know you support PR being a Lib Dims supporter it's the only way they can get a voice.
A coalition government imo, is usually a recipe for disaster except in certain circumstances.
Just look at the history and list of coalitions throughout Europe and what it's lead to. Most are just content to pay lip service to the electorate, take the money and most sadly of all take their orders from Brussels.

This green 4% was a last desperate inclusion to form a government after 9 months of inactivity and like I said,
deals, backstage bickering with the result that sod all happens.

Europe's on the brink of recession the ECB have run out of options, with debt piling up.
The greens want to spend billions and billions of Euro's but in Sweden they are holding the major party to ransom over granting mining licence's.
They don't want progress, they want us all back in loin cloths.
People vote for the party they want, not something watered down.

PR, you can keep it.

This is what you get when you have proportional representation.
Deals, backstage bickering and sod all happens.
Some are wanting it in the UK, a chance to give minority's a voice...... result disaster.

"Its clear yes so why we down big today and ftse down also .pound as well"

Probably on some poll predicting a labour revival and possible hung parliament.
Just a foretaste of what to expect if it happens.

3 days before a general election and panorama come up with universal credit filmed last year.
The narrator sounds so depressed, hanging on every negative, don't know if there will be any spokesman putting the government's side.
I'm going for a beer.

Lots of guessing but no-one buying for "a certain" profit.

Yeah, the last thing we want from leaving the EU is this so called full alignment that's being banded about.

For me the best thing about this 'deal' is keeping the 'no deal' on the table if there's no trade agreement at the end of the transition period.

This is not helping....
The British pound hit seven-month highs against the U.S. dollar amid growing confidence about a Conservative Party victory in Thursday’s U.K. elections.

Lagarde is speaking this week, what's her message...... Start spending, better send JC and JM over there they can spend.
Germany’s economy is in deep trouble – and it won’t be the only country to suffer.
Its main industry is in freefall. Its political system is descending into chaos. The banking system is in crisis, and consumer demand is stuck in the doldrums. Which country? It is, of course, Germany. With every week that passes there are more and more signs of a deep malaise in its economy.
The nation once known as Europe’s powerhouse, and the locomotive of the entire eurozone, is slowly turning into its sick man instead.
That is partly a German story, of course, but it is also a global one. When the world’s fourth-largest economy runs into trouble, it has repercussions far beyond its own borders.

Do I detect some negatively there, don't loose your focus, you know a decision is forthcoming. :-)))

Swedish PMI 47.9, fourth month of downtrend.
Next up reporting this morning Spain, followed by Italy, France, Germany, European and the UK.
Just saying.

If they (the government) announced that a decision will be made within 3 months Eric then that puts them under more pressure.
If no announcement is made soon after, then, as the week's tick by everyone on all sides becomes more expectant, that's BEM, the Greens, the Sami, the landowners, whoever has an interest.
This will build up the longer it goes on together with the SP.
In the meantime anything can happen, why would they?
As Harold Wilson once said "a week is a long time in politics."

Qzqz, it was a joke said with ,tongue in cheek' the clue was in the title.
Follow this BB now and again as I'm invested here (underwater ATM). There's usually some good banter going on.

Just bumped into an old mate of mine.
I said, what are you doing these days.

He said, "I prepare meals for the homeless, drug addicts, **** heads and down and outs."

I said "Oh are you working for the Salvation army?"

He said……………. "No Wetherspoons."

President Donald Trump sparked fears that a trade deal with China will be delayed until after the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
Trump told reporters in London that a deal may need to wait until after next year’s election, which is a stark contrast to reports over the last two weeks.

Believe there has already been an announcement that any decision forthcoming or not will be made outside of normal trading hours.
Any timeline that is public knowledge will nullify that.

Rest easy on climate change, Carney is coming to the rescue, and what's more they are paying him what he is worth.

UN appoints Mark Carney to help finance climate action goals.
Mark Carney has been appointed as UN special envoy for climate action and finance as he prepares to step down as governor of the Bank of England in January.

Carney replaces billionaire Michael Bloomberg in the part time pro bono climate action role after the former New York mayor stepped down to focus on the US presidential race.

Carney said the new role, for which he will be paid a token $1 a year once his term at the Bank of England ends, would provide “a platform to bring the risks from climate change and the opportunities from the transition to a net-zero economy into the heart of financial decision-making.”

You see all is not lost, just when you thought the climate was out of control, we can all sleep soundly.

Labour is facing huge cutbacks, to “way smaller” levels than before the election. The party’s headcount is being cut from 700 to 300 staff members, with whole departments being shut down, including the party’s 100 person strong call centre. That’s the trouble with socialists, they eventually run out of other people’s money.

Blimey, I only asked, how exactly do you back him and support him.
A few responses but no definitive answers.
No ridicule Suzy its how you interpret.

How exactly do you back him Suzy?
How can you support him?
Comments on this forum won't cut it.

You are (as far as I'm aware) just like the rest of us on here a minor shareholder (ed excluded) in a junior AIM listed mining stock.
May I suggest one way, start a vigorous buying exercise to support this diminishing SP.
If you managed to accumulate enough shares to influence the value of BEM surely that would generate more interest and in turn more support for the CEO.
I'm afraid rhetoric and YouTube Elvis videos won't have the desired effect.

Of course if a positive decision is "forthcoming" he will be the best thing since sliced bread and everyone will be singing his praises. But the result of that will be that most on here will sell, thereby ending any or all support that they had in the first place.

Just my thoughts at this time.

KRSS, just take some time out and read your recent ramblings.

It doesn't take an expert to see that
you're full of S. H. I. T. E.
