[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[sasguru]

some irrelevant wibble

And the useful idiots want to trust an incompetent French/German dominated undemocratic European Union ?

Cameron had a deal whereby we were out of the EU politically, in perpuity.
But still had a say in the EU.
And that would have been signed in treaty.
That was lost in the thick Brexiter braying at the time.

Soft Brexit will mean us being in the EU in all but name, paying in to it, without any say in how it's run.
Way to go thick Brexiters.

And if that goes the way most people expect it to, another referendum will follow to replace the Euro with the Lira...

And then what one wonders?

Although you fail to note that Sterling has bounced back by about 6% against the Euro. Where is ScooterScot? Wasn't he predicating parity by Christmas?

Why did it bounce back? Do you even know? Doh!

More "U-Turny" statements:

UK government minister suggests the UK could stay in the Customs Union

This is just government probing and soft polling to different options.

He'll lose the referendum, which is about an obscure point on the relative powers of the two Italian government chambers of government.
There won't be a referendum on the Euro.

HTH, BIDI.

He, along with OG and a few of the other vociferous Bremain community have slowly drifted away from the scene as their hysterical posturing has been shown to be well wide of the mark.
Only the uber-muttonheads like sas and darmy are left, hanging around like a bad smell whilst feverishly wiping froth from their screens trying to justify an ever-dwindling strand of logic.

I'm more than happy to receive your infinite wisdom, although it matters not as the fact remains it bounced from 1.09 ish to 1.18.

Anyway, when are you off to Portugal?

He's made it a vote of confidence in himself (more fool him)... If he follows through with his threat to call an election Five Star will walk that election - and point 1 on Five Star's manifesto is a referendum on replacing the Euro...

You clearly haven't been following Italian politics as closely as I do (then again I do prefer Tuscany to Portugal)...

Yes there is a slight question regarding whether a general election will be called. Personally it doesn't matter as it will merely delay the inevitability of the next election result....

As for why Italy's GDP was 2390.73 USD Billion in 20008, in 2015 it was 1814.76 billion

HTH, BIDI.

At this rate there won't be a Euro. Italy's banks hold 40% of the EU's bad debts. Go Italy.

It bounced back because Davies mentioned the possibility of soft brexit.

Soft Brexit rumours - pound up
Hard Brexit rumours - pound down.

What the markets are saying about the relative prospects of Britain in those 2 scenarios should penetrate even thick Brexiters noggins.
