As it looks now, Cameron's government will have a small majority and will stay in power for the next parliament.
Does it mean anything for Brit expats here?
I assume the value of sterling will remain high against the kuna, that helps those with a UK pension or investments.
The FTSE has shot up 100 points which can only be good for those of us with share holdings.
I don't see a great urgency to attack our non-Dom tax advantages any time soon.
Any views, for or against?

Just the one, referendum on eu departure....well that is not going to happen anyway ( departure not referendum) oh yes and more chance of sterling holding its high of course. Whatever your political leaning, don't think Mr.Ed ever looked like a statesman. Cameron is committed to an in-out referendum, he has given his word so it must be true. There are over 100 Conservative back-benchers who would like to leave the EU, and I am not sure that Cameron has developed any supporters in the EU that are sympathetic to his changes, so exit is a possibility IMHO as he will not be able to re-negotiate better terms that will placate anyone |

Whatever your political leaning, don't think Mr.Ed ever looked like a statesman. Prior to Iraq I liked Labor and Tony (once he kisses a$$ with Bush my opinion changed which was sad as they had good policies for the working class and families ... although their immigration policy was a catastrophe) but then Gordon was a fool (selling off all the gold and give away prices and other silly policy stuff) and then up to today at Mr. Ed ... who seems to me to have no balls or backbone. Not sure if the guy had ever had a real job, but just looked to young and inexperienced for such a job as PM (he always looked awkward in his speeches and body language and a bit condescending). I didn't vote (enjoying to much sunshine in Croatia), but none of the parties really appealed to me. While I think being out of the EU would be a good thing for the UK in the long run (as EU will still want the UK to buy it's stuff, so of course the UK will be able to benefit from the goodwill of exchange and trade ... money speaks louder then politics), it would not be great for people in my position, say wanting to move to say Croatia, seeing I've been there and done that prior to Croatia being an EU member.... hours lined up like cattle to the slaughter at MUP passport office, arm full of documents and the unknown. Then there might be the need for shangen visa's if one drives anywhere. |
