If the Conservatives fail to lead the next government, according to this article it’s down to George Osborne. I agree. Enter Boris!

The article concludes that the UK is not ready for a grand-coalition because of the absence of an Angela Merkel.

UK politics will never be the same, that’s for sure.

Let me ask an open question:

Is a grand coalition a way out for the UK?

Thoughts?

This is a deeply worrying article from MarketWatch. It’s a recommended read. Check it out!

via This may be Greece’s biggest brain drain since the death of Socrates – MarketWatch.

These days, Greece has few upside opportunities. They are certainly heavily outweighed by the downside risks.

With Greece’s brightest brains voting with their feet, this is a very alarming signal.

I keep hoping that Greece will come to its senses. The current government are deliberately turning their backs on previously agreed reforms yet they are still giving the citizens of Greece hope that creditors will give way – this is much worse than Russian roulette.

Let me ask an open question:

Is there still room for optimism in Greece’s negotiations with creditors?

Thoughts?
