The coming reshuffle will be a strong indicator of just how far right this government will turn out to be. I could yet be surprised and find that Johnson takes it back to the centre right and is really a "one nation Tory". If that happens and we end up with essentially a soft Brexit, close alignment with the EU on standards and the consequent abandonment of any new US trade deal then I won't be too unhappy.

Right wing politics are not "doing great for Britain" at all. If the Bank of England are contemplating cutting the already low interest rates even further that's a pretty strong indicator that there are problems ahead, despite all the cheerleading that the right wing, Brexit enthusiastic, media are doing.

If the opposite happens and we get an even further right wing government, a no deal Brexit and throw ourselves onto Trump's lap whilst begging for scraps then I see the UK breaking up as a consequence, in a few years time. That's hardly us "doing great" is it?

Absolutely. Perhaps at a macro level you could argue that how a central bank sets interest rates can be used, the reality is that over-all there are to many factors and unknowns.

Had my own eyes opened to by the only person I know who has ever made money by trading on the financial markets. He has all the bits of paper, a long career in a bank and could no doubt call himself an economist but he freely admits that he trades, primarily currencies, literally on a minute by minute basis, rarely holding a position for even an hour, let alone any longer. Trades by news, nipping in for as long as it takes to make a profit and then out again.

He recommended I read 'Black Swan' by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and it changed my outlook on how the entire world works. A book I would have on the national curriculum if I had my way. Exposes the entire profession of supposed economic forecasters for what they are. Charlatans of the highest order.

Throw in the CRIMINAL way the ratings agencies acted in collusion with the bank in terms of the 2008 financial crash (if you have not done so watch 'The Big Short'. Another addition to the Matov National Curriculum) and you realise how the entire system is corrupt from top to bottom. Utterly rotten and toxic.

Any majority is a win.
If people cant be bothered to vote then they cant be that bothered about the result.
The registered voters bit is a red herring.
I think if you dont vote for three elections running you should have to re apply to go on the register.
