How unfeeling of me, shockingly inconsiderate! May I make amends by suggesting.....

If the ruling bunch had a bit more competence, I would agree. But Britain does desperately need an opposition.

I was expecting the exchange rate to do something after these elections. No movement by the look of things.

I think there so much going on right now that the market simply can't decide on a direction. Not just the UK election, but the French election, for example, will have an impact on the EU and Brexit. Once some new certainties drift in, the exchange rate may have more direction and/or volatility.

Re: UK election June 8
just contextualizing dear boy. I'm not saying some opinions and reasons for voting a certain way aren't misguided. However the Rotheram example is a perfect one for illustrating why there is a swell of anti-establishment, and protectionist feeling amongst the working/lower classes. If you can't make the link I would suggest that you might be a little out of touch. This and examples like it (Polish nicked my job etc etc) are all causing a massive shift to right and sometimes far right politics. we ignore it at our peril
