At the moment the FTSE 100 share index is over 7100 - giddy heights!
With the UK General Election not many weeks away and a very close run contest, I
expect the markets to tumble with the uncertainty of the outcome.
The
last poll I saw showed Conservatives and Labour neck and neck. The UKIP
vote could lose Conservative votes. I am definitely not voting UKIP who seem to want us out of Europe only. To me, they are not a credible party, more of a protest vote party.
We live in a democracy, so we vote for the party of our choosing.
I shall probably vote Lib Dem again. In a coalition government they could (again) be a good moderating influence whether the major party is Conservative or Labour.

Wonder why the economy is in a mess?
"Virtually all U.S. senators, and most of the representatives in the House, are members of the top 1 percent when they arrive, are kept in office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they leave office. By and large, the key executive-branch policymakers on trade and economic policy also come from the top 1 percent."
This is a quote from a recent article in Vanity Fair.
A similar situation exists here in the UK. In my view this is a situation which cannot be sustained and we need to wake up and do something about it.
