They have elections in October, Carney wants the top job. Quite how such a political figure was ever put into the BoE job is beyond me. That said no politics here.Hoenir said:

Ah right, they were due in October but Carney called a snap election. I must have missed that.Bostonerimus1 said:

Not political. Ordinary people are voting with their wallets and their feet. Some 25% of international visitors every year to Las Vegas are Canadian . Early indications are that trips to Maine and Florida are already down 25% and 20% respectively this year. This is just tourism.Sunnylifeover50plan said:

Just added up my losses since peak, down 150k, ouch! Having said that at a guess I'm probably back to where I was around 12 to 18 mths agoIt's just my opinion and not advice.1

I can understand having a rule to avoid "politics" so that it can be enforced by the moderators when discussions descend into petty quibbling about what might have theoretically happened had some other UK party been in power and done something differently, but this is different.
In this case a foreign power has implemented specific political decisions, and the financial repurcussions to the world are irrefutably linked to this decision. We on this forum (as primarily UK citizens) are in no position to democratically influence the foreign current governing power or voter by our comments on this forum, but we very seriously need (and want) to discuss the severe global consequences resulting from these increasingly unpredictable decisions which are threatening to the financial security of every single investor and pension holder in the UK, or for that matter, the world.
Doing this without any mention politics, even if global, is going to be impossible.• The rich buy assets.
• The poor only have expenses.
• The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.11
