Let me try again. Your premise is that "the losers in an election/referendum must leave the victors to have their victory, any attempts to change the result are undemocratic", particularly with respect the "No Deal" voted in the HofC. I find this ...

Silly? Hardly. EU of today is the legal successor of EEC. I hope you are familiar with this concept and its implications. This succession was brought about by treaties signed by legally elected governments commanding electoral majority in their ...

That is true (and quite worn out by now from overuse), but is not the point I am making. Actually it is two points: Leavers won the referendum right? So, get Brexit done, do not ask the opponents to "allow" you (how about lend you a hand?). That's ...

Forgiveness is ........... a noun that is often combined with the verb "to beg" (for). Or "to ask", if one so prefers.

The winners had their victory, and proved incompetent and incapable of capitalizing on it. Are they still entitled to call themselves victors? Not in my book. Winning the first battle, losing the war, yeah, history books are strewn with variations ...

Interesting idea. Let's think about it a bit more. Please enlighten us: For how long should the losing side graciously continue give the said consent? Should that consent be unconditional? If the victorious side got their victory through means that ...

Really? Never? The infamous red BoJo bus had the number 350 mln per week. That was claimed as the UK's net contribution to the EU budget. The cohesion funds (and similar programs) come from that same EU budget. That is, from those 350 million a ...

For the Brexiteers is not about the economy, is all about politics and "taking control", right? For us in EU side you think is any different? You think we will not absorb some short term economic pain to achieve long term political goals? You got ...

And we get to kick out the Brexiteer saboteurs. Winning that referendum after the disastrous Cameron-Juncker deal was godsend, considering EU treaties do not provide with a pathway to kicking UK out. De Gaule was right. You should have never been ...

Bones has jumped the fray to lend a hand to his teammate Vancarbon. Bones, I already commented on EURGBP a long time ago. I don't like to trade it because it is stolid. The reason to trade GBP is its superb cost-normalized volatility (ATR (x = a ...

It is unbelievable how even an apparently educated and learned economist and portfolio manager can continue to propagate such nonsense. "You" do not have a "debtor creditor relationship" but a "global reserve currency issuer and holder ...

Bones, I understand all this. It is an internal UK matter, the UK political body need to work its way through the situation. EU side has no such problem, our positions are clear - especially now after the onslaught of the far right/nationalist ...

I told you, regulatory arbitrage. Not just any regulatory arbitrage, but regulatory arbitrage by design. One of the Leave campaign key promises was to make trade deals with all sorts of states and trading blocks. The more the merrier. These trade ...

UK from 1922, EU from 1950 (as the European Coal and Steel Community). Nothing to write home about. Both too short by historical standards.
