UK and the EU

It's standing the pace of all the panicking of the different markets projections. Imagine the problems if we had agreed to use the Euro as our Nation's currency.

 

There won't be any real clarity until the negotiations are completely over, longk, and besides it's Business that's looking for clarity while the Markets might profess to, but in actual real life they make their monies from Speculation and uncertainty betting against or for futures, so clarity and certainty would kill the speculators who daily bet Billions on the markets.

True, but Corbyn is supported by the extremists in the Labour Party rather than the actual normal Labour voters who will vote for, or not, Labour than Corbyn. There are a lot of long time Labour voters who will vote elsewhere rather than support Corbyn

 

Not really, if you think about it, pete. For starters, she is under pressure, by all sides, to be as open and transparent as possible without giving away any real details of negotiating leaving.
Nearly all of the Conservative MP's are saying they will vote for the triggering of Article 50, as has Corbyn and his motley crew, with the Liberals whinging and blubbering also admitting they will vote to trigger the Article 50. Some of the SNP, but not many, will vote to trigger, as will the Welsh National Assembly.....that's fact.
So there will then be the usual harassing, criticisms, back stabbings, whinging, of the reluctant sections of all parties while the negotiations are in process. But, come the time the negotiations are complete, whenever that is, the MP's, of all parties, having voted to trigger Article 50, and already having been informed by the Prime Minister that [a] she will have to leave the Single Market, leave the Custom Union, if not given a reasonable alternative by the EU, [c] has told the MP's and Country that no deal with the EU is better than a bad deal, then the MP's are in a fix, as they agreed to triggering the Article 50 after being told today of the Government's plans. So the best the opponents, in all parties, can do is try to complain the deal is not good enough, which I'm sure they will do, and try to whip up support for their views. That will leave them looking like they're trying to overturn the result of the Referendum at the last moment.........that, to me, is like playing with matches and since most MP's in the opinion of the majority of the British Public, untrustworthy, have the intelligence of a Gnat, [apologies to the Gnats], is a dangerous game. Theresa May has told the British people that "no deal is better than a bad deal", and that should the EU try to take punitive measures for leaving the EU then the results of that could be calamitous for the EU should we reciprocate...........so the MP's know that we know as much as they do and that we've been aware of the negatives, positives and situation. Two years is a long time and a lot of things will happen, so it's going to be like a Shakespeare play with all the drama, betrayals, heros/heroines, villains, lies, and hopefull a Happy Ending for all of us.

 

Like you, Freddy, I've been a Life time Labour person, but I cannot vote for Labour while Corbyn and his cronies are in control of the Labour Party holding the defence and security views that they do. I wouldn't vote Liberal to save my Life, UKIP is in too much of a turmoil with a narrow agenda, I don't believe in not voting, so I will probably vote for a Conservative Prime Minister who has acknowledged that she was originally against leaving the EU, and was harassed today by the Media for it, and is now standing firm and making some hard choices/decisions and telling us what and why. I loathed Maggie Thatcher but Theresa May seems to be of a different metal.
