What is your preferred option for the United Kingdom moving forward?

  1. Full Brexit with "no EU deal" on the 29th March.

  2. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a general election and new negotiations.

  3. Request Extension to article 50 to allow cross party talks and a new deal to be put to EU.

  4. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a second referendum on 1. Remain in EU or 2. Full Brexit.

  5. Table a motion in parliament to Remain in EU WITHOUT a referendum.

  6. I don't know or I don't care anymore

Results are only viewable after voting.

  1. I do find it funny, "Pound to new low" and they show a graph that looks like someone has fallen off everest, then you look at the small print and it dropped .....1 cent, that's not even a full penny.

  4. That's what, 50 years ago?

    As it stands now, UK productivity isn't where it should be to compete globally, surely?

  9. I don't feel most countries are to be honest, even china has slowed right down but this like most things are down to market saturation and the tariff wars between the U.S and the eu/China.

    If you keep a wider view just beyond the U.K. you'll remember at the beginning of the year Germany was in a technical recession.

  11. The value of the currency is a good indicator to the strength of the economy. Always been the case.

  15. I suggest you read from page 1 - and try and learn a bit about the EU project and how it's geared to benefit Germany and France more than anyone else other than the EU Council personally of course ;) Italy, Spain and the other smaller countries are not fairing so well...
