You don't half talk some tulipe.

He taste in hotels is the same.....

Shorting the pound since selling my UK property by almost half a million. No stress. Once BJ crashes the country out the financial markets will be savage, mark my words.

Well I am told that it's easier to make money in a volatile market.

Only if you know what you're doing...

[Platypus]

Your suspicions are dead wrong.

I suspect any financial loss you incur will be self-inflicted not Brexit-related

It will be Italian debt crisis inflicted. I'm tempted to suggest he returns to the relative safety of the newly independent UK, but I don't want him to come back...

Will get binned for sure, just hope the leave voters pick up the invoice for several years of lost economic activity. A special tax code perhaps.

Won't we have already left by the time of a GE? Oct 31st do or die, and all that.

- No. Once bitten twice shy. They may do a vote by vote support, but can't see them forming a formal coalition and especially not with Corbyn as PM
- Agreed, can't see the LDs getting anywhere near 48% because British voters are idiots. They complain constantly, but when push comes to shove they vote for the same colour rosette as always. If you're a remainer, and don't vote LD then you have no right to complain when we get brexit


- Under Corbyn Labour won't back remain in a 2nd ref. Corbyn is a leaver, hence why remainers only have the choice of LD, Green or SNP if they truly want to vote for a remain party. Any other vote is a vote to leave.


- If (and it's a big if), there was a 2nd ref, and Labour were somehow leading a minority government, and leave won again, then who knows what will happen. Would LDs have enough seats to make a difference (same goes for the SNP)? How minority would the Labour government be? What would be the Tory stance to a labour brexit? Too many ifs to a situation that is very unlikely to happen.

This is why remain voters have a clear choice at the polls - vote for LD and to remain, or vote for Tory, give them a majority, and let them have their hard brexit and see how well that goes for them. A Labour vote isn't in the remainer's interest.

Thanks! Very interesting. In fact I just heard on the news that JS said today that she "won't prop up" a Corbyn led government. So you're right, coalition is off the table.

Ah I forgot the SNP they would certainly support a Labour coalition.

I agree Corbyn is a leaver, but John McDonnell and Emily Thornberry have both said recently that Labour would campaign to remain. We'll see how this one develops!

I think we're gonna need a bigger popcorn container

Do you think that the LDs would support Labour in a coalition? (personally I don't see LD bagging 48% or even close)

Do you think Remain would win a 2nd referendum with LD and Labour campaigning vigorously for Remain?

- Under Corbyn Labour won't back remain in a 2nd ref. Corbyn is a leaver, hence why remainers only have the choice of LD, Green or SNP if they truly want to vote for a remain party. Any other vote is a vote to leave.

Do you think LD would bring down the coalition if Leave won again? I do admire them for being honest that they want to just stop Brexit and would ignore a second referendum result if it didn't go their way).

Meh! If you're a remainer, vote Lib Dem.

I agree.

Genuine questions... I quite enjoy pondering the hypotheticals that politicians never like to talk about when interviewed.

Meh! If you're a remainer, vote Lib Dem. Or vote for another party and get brexit. Surely even you can understand that

Anyone who complains about Brexit afterwards, but didn't vote Lib Dem (or Green, or SNP) can go and fook off
