The best election outcome for the economy?

kabayiri

A Tory majority looks increasingly likely.

Does this vindicate the austerity plans?

Finally, we might be realising that dealing with our debts has to be faced.

Stability is good isn't it?

Will we be in EU in 3 years time if not what effect will that have.

I suspect that we will follow a similar path to the Scottish independence referendum :

- a lot of noise in the run up, but the vote to remain will win the day.

I don't fear an EU referendum at all.

I hope you are right but I'm not convinced you are.

I think a referendum is a mistake, although Britain would almost certainly vote to remain in Europe, the uncertainty is bad for business and jobs.

Sill better than labour gaining power though.

Uncertainty is the only thing in life that is certain.
There is little evidence that uncertainty is bad for business and jobs.

While democracy is a poor system of government it's the best we have.

The EU is a corrupt system that is racked with restrictive practices, bad science and is unnecessarily damaging the lives of 10s of millions of people.

Free trade is a useful and fruitful facility but free move of people is not in our national interest.

The EU president has a history of corrupt national self interest but was voted in by the equally corrupt system.

The system may well be worthy of reforming but if not we are best out of it and trading as a free nation.

The uncertainty is there already it's been there to some extent for some time, and it's going to have been made very much stronger by ukip, essentially a single issue leave EU party, getting the 3rd most votes this election.

A quick referendum would probably be the best way to deal with the uncertainty

Surely it's better to have a referendum & let each side fight as hard as they can to win it? Far too much is controlled by Brussels to not even allow people to vote on membership.

As a side note, presumably UKIP are now toast. Whatever the outcome of a referendum, what's the point of UKIP after it's been held?

Some interesting share movements going on.

Centrica up 7.5% - seems a little knee-jerk but wonder if that's a result of the threat of a price cap being removed. We might actually see gas prices fall now the suppliers know they can put them back up if they need to.

Banks and builders up quite a bit too.

Im sure they said the same about the SNP...
