Brexit vote

[FuzzyPlum]

It's with a heavy heart I have to say they need to get on and start planning the exit sooner rather than later. There is nothing worse for the financial markets than uncertainty so it does nothing for the financial state of the country to delay things.

The Conservative party leadership battle is going to be very interesting. The way it's panning out I can see a straight IN/OUT election between BoJo and Theresa May. Like many I've always had a soft spot for Boris. On this occasion I don't know what to think. Part of me hopes the wider Tory party see him as a traitor and back TM. At the same time, I think it would be awkward for a pro-EU leader to be negotiating an exit. Perhaps a pro-exit leader would feel more committed to doing an effective job- I just don't know.

What I do know is there's no point clinging to the notion of a re-vote. It just isn't going to happen...its over, we are out, we now need to move on.

With the Labour leadership seemingly crumbling, British politics is in a right mess. Perhaps this should be an opportunity for a new political landscape...tear up traditional party divides and formulate new allegiances. Strange times ahead indeed.
