That 8 million pound brochure sent to every household spelt out the pitfalls of leaving the EU?
So saying the out voters were under no illusions is lauaghable both sides told lies the fact that DC came back with a flimsy bit of rule changes he deserved to go!
Just like every piece of 'information' disseminated during the run in, that brochure was just another pile of half-truths and exaggerations.
 
Any chance of answering the Exchange rate question then ?........Or is it just the racism bit ......

Yeah mate, lets sweep the racism under the carpet.

I'm not sure my Economics A-Level qualifies to offer a meaningful opinion on the ideal exact level of sterling mate, but I do know that a net importer is worse off with a weak currency.

Exactly the campaign went on for months Remain were forecast to win - I was amazed as any one when the out vote won you have to accept democracy yes you an argue the implications of the result hence this thread !

So would you be happy if the £ went up and was trading at $5........
 
You don't want to argue the implications!
It because remoaners in you and a few others keep the debate going on the scare tactics of leaving you and a few others can't accept the out decision if you want to carry on saying the same retric fine you will get the same answers not just by me who you love sticking the boot into , but others I respect your right to take your stance, but it's 3 months on we have a new PM who is clearly leading us out, by the way out does mean out!
I have not changed my stance on what you posted above!
 
The bit I can't really fathom is that aside from a hastily-arranged online petition after the referendum, there's hardly been a strong opposition to the progression of the leave process. You'd expect local and national protests, picketing of MPs, media campaigns to try and get the decision overturned or reviewed.

But no, just daily bleating on The Guardian and grumbling in comments sections and online fora. I am just not compelled to believe the opposition to Brexit is actually that strong or populous.

That's a fair analysis voters from all Polictical parties helped Brexit to get a majority out vote I am no Tory , but have been accused of agreeing with @peteblue too much only that that poster argues it better than me - the way Labour is going, I may vote Tory in future as again Corbyn is alienating is PLPs .
It is crucial we have a strong leader to carry out Brexit ATM May is saying all the right things IMO even pinching UKIPs territory never mind Labours!
The proof will be in the pudding on how well Brexit is achieved IMO!
The EU is not the fantastic union that has zero growth ATM so why would you break your neck to be governed by it???

Again, so what exchange rate would you like to see ?

US$/GBP has averaged 1.55 over the last 5 years and 1.64 over the last 10. Given most businesses like to plan someway into the future I'd say 1.60 is probably fair value and in usual circumstances where I'd expect the rate to sit.

Similarly Euro/GBP has sat at 1.25 for 5 years and 10 years but with larger swings over the period. Therefore 1.25-1.30 I'd suggest should be the expected trading range in normal market conditions.

Our exporting in the UK has started to lag so hopefully this is the incentive to rectify that.

The pound will undoubtedly recover tho once brexit is passed in 2017.
