Keep Believing ? .... you had best steer clear of The Monkees .When they were " Formed " only one of them could play an instrument... A bit like the cobbled together hopes and pipe dreams of Team Brexit

Dreams with belief and application work IMO.

and we have an unelected prime minister (or will have)

So if you voted Tory, did you vote because of Cameron, or because you are a Tory?

We do Not have a presidential election he, therefore why is she an unelected prime minister?

I didn't vote tory BUT I do know a lot of people vote for the leader...I quote often hear people say I wouldn't vote for him/her etc etc..To think people don't is Naive.

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 FTSE 250 and the All Share aren't doing badly.

Keep believing

Whereabouts in Melbourne are you moving to? I've stayed there a few times (St Kilda, Williamstown).

And his biggest mistake was not calling a snap election...I wonder if Teresa will, however I very much doubt it.

I'm certainly not a Tory, but surely it would be in the Tories' interests to call an election now, while Labour is AWOL, and the Fib Dems remain an utter insignificance!

I don't have time to read nine pages, but I presume someone has pointed out that the FTSE 250 is a much better barometer of how the UK is fairing than the FTSE 100 is.

I very much doubt that is within protocols. Labour's leadership election has been initiated so any election may take place when that's complete.

Funnily enough that's up over 500 points 3.25 % today, well above the mid June level. Best if people stick to mentioning the weakness of the pound if they want to wallow in negativity.

And the pound is 10% stronger!

It's not....

The pound has lost 13% against the USD since the 22nd June.

Even against the AUD it's low.

I was going to buy a bicycle part from the UK total of $80 posted. In a two week period It's now down to $65 posted.

YAY Brexit!

The FTSE 100 is a reflection of the performance of the Uk's top 100 companies not the worlds economy.

The most accurate I could be right now is the 'burbs, to the south/southeast of the city. Got my eye on Mordialloc, but would love Brighton obviously, might have to see how things go!

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

Fair enough. I should pay more attention to who is posting what rather than just concentrating on what the content is.

I guess it's the modern celebrity obsession that means people think they're voting for a prime minister rather than a governing party (or more specifically their local representative).

Why did you comment on the EU Commisioners though? They are the equivalent of the civil service and we don't elect them either!

Indeed. Furthermore I would rather have experts in science and economics propose legislation than career politicians.

Yes, with now well over half of all UK company shares traded at the London Stock Exchange in foreign hands (along with the LSE itself of course), perhaps the £ is a better barometer for how well we are fairing.

Not that simple.......depends where those companies derive their revenue.
