FTSE100 is 10% higher than 1 month ago

[Poyningsgull]

The FTSE 100 is not a reflection of the British economy, but that of the world. Another Brexitier showing the stupid tag to be true.

The country has voted, so the sooner you feck off to Melbourne the better for all of us. (They all want to come over here by the way)

The MEPs vote for the commissioners.

Yep so they are unelected (by the public) same as Theresa May - hence my response to the original post about her being unelected - as she isn't by the public, but is by the conservative party

 

[Triggaaar]

So all tory's voted out?

It's not just about the tories, it's about what all the people vote for.

The public never get to vote for the party leaders and thus no prime ministers are elected in the way you are suggesting

The public never vote for ministers including the Cabinet. We are only able to vote for candidates in a seat.

Nope I don't think so. European commission aren't elected v mep are?

The MEPs vote for the commissioners.

Commissioners are approved as a preordained selection, they accept the lot or none of them: they chose between continuation of the EU institutions or their collapse. same with the budget, which is why neither is ever called to account.

A new team of 28 Commissioners (one from each EU Member State) is appointed every five years.
The candidate for President of the Commission is proposed to the European Parliament by the European Council that decides by qualified majority and taking into account the elections to the European Parliament.
The Commission President is then elected by the European Parliament by a majority of its component members (which corresponds to at least 376 out of 751 votes).

I have never said that. Someone was complaining that the new prime minister wasn't elected (by the public)

My point was that neither are the European commission..

Not sure how I've been misconstrued

Correct. Someone was complaining the new pm was unelected. Giving an example of other unelected idiots (European commission) somewhere along the line it appears people think it was my idea

wellquickwoody is right, the FTSE100 has little to do with the UK economy, most of the its yield is derived from overseas income. The FTSE is up 10% as sterling as devalued around 15% since Brexit.

Some relief for UK exposed shares today in the FTSE250 but financials and construction still bricking it what lies ahead

 

[mothy]

construction still bricking it

Clever! & good news?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Some people don't get it. Lower interest rates coming soon because consumption will slow because of uncertainty and more expensive prices. drives up demand for shares as other assets become less valuable. So yes happy days share sare up, whilst the country falls to its knees

I didn't say whether wellquickwoody was right or wrong.

I just felt he arrogance was OTT again.

Referring to your post though. The spade hasn't even been taken out of the van yet, let alone the footings being dug, then we can start putting down some solid foundations down.

You just keep your head in the sand telling yourself it will all be OK in the long term.............won't it?

Oi! Who gave permission to lift your head out of the sand? You just keep believing, lovely boy, lovely boy.

You have been living in your bubble far too long, roll your sleeves up put your back into and believe in your fellow citizens of the UK.

Or you could just bum it in Oz, I suppose.
