Matt, There wont be an election anytime soon and if there was what would change? Do you honestly think the result would mean anything other than a Tory government? May may or may not be everybody's choice but at least she is making the right noises and getting on with it. I wanted to stay in for many reasons both personal and business. Am just back from a sabbatical in Spain where life is as it should be, relaxing, laid back, time to enjoy, traditional family values. Unfortunately us Brits don't do the enjoying life bit. We would rather whinge and moan and get ourselves wound up continually over bog all.
Whilst I was out there their was a big vote in the Spanish parliament. What was surprising was the reaction of the locals. The majority seemed to be of the opinion it mattered bog all because if Mr Trump wins his little spat with the rest of USA we all wont be here much longer. They probably have the right attitude. Article 30 or Chapter 21 what does it matter. Unless you can afford a Virgin flight to outer space we will probably all get the fall out sooner or later.
Incidentally, business has picked up again to the level it was before the vote. We had a hairy 3 or 4 months of it but there still isn't the longer term confidence around. Am now taking the Spanish attitude - live life for today, non of us may be here tomorrow, plenty of cheap Spanish booze will make it all that much sweeter.
