Current Affairs The General Election

[abelard]

The debate is fairly dire... as we all knew it would be.
Watching the markets.. they haven't budged by a single tick. At this stage of proceedings I think the voting public have pretty much made up their minds and not much is going to be changing between now and polling day.

in the finance sector, people who confuse market indices for truth are by far, by far, the easiest marks of all

I was talking about the automatic release mate.

Everyone gets automatically released, though. They encouraged it, or at least allowed it to continue for as long as they've been in power.

The markets 3 months ago compared to now are massively different.
A Tory majority is nailed on apparantly now.

Get brexit done, Get brexit done, Get brexit done, Get brexit done, Get brexit done, Get brexit done, Get brexit done, Get brexit done...

It's odd that Johnson neglected to use this phrase once in the debate.

You can't buck the market, kiddo

Markets now pricing in a 72% chance of a Con maj. We have seen shorter odds than that get turned over even in recent political history, so definitely not "nailed on".

Corbyn's best performance by far. Johnson struggled and showed it with his body language.

Nick Robinson an absolute bell. Went at JC hammer and tong, few Johnson a few soft balls and allowed him more time.

LOL @ Barry Gardiner goading Dominic Raab into behaving like the utter whelk he is.

Raab looks like he's had an eighth of fishscale.

pretty much a direct quote from half the people I used to work with, circa 2007

you're probably too young to remember

much more cathartic than the debate

Thought Corbyn did well there, Johnson is in just don't fk up mode as he feels he has this in the bag, he didn't impress but didn't do anything wrong so will feel that it was a successful night.
Waste of time really

Im just hoping the tories have totally overestimated how much they think people care about Brexit.

Corbyn took that half wit to the cleaners.

Let's see if it shakes a few of the serfs prepared to "Vote Boris" out of their stupor.
