Lol, I think Soviet Union was good example how dangerous socialism can be and why it has to be applied cautiously.
Given that they were communist rather than socialist, one would think they were a particularly poor example of socialism.
The EU said clearly with 100% agreement of all members: No renegociation. So a more favorable deal can only if it will be more favorable for the EU, not for the UK, I am afraid.
I was just trying to rationalise the GBP's movements in response to newsflow. If correct, its not my opinion, I'm past caring about Brexit.
You may be past caring but the GBP isn't! There's a pretty clear inverse correlation between the strength of the pound and the probability of Brexit. The market clearly see's the probability of Corbyn coming to power as a bullish sign for the pound because it decreases the chance of Brexit happening. The market then is directly contradicting any assertion that Corbyn lead's to Venezuela hyperbole, in fact it is quite clearly saying exactly the opposite by the pound getting stronger the more chance the market perceives that he takes over. But hey, the market is made up of a bunch of communist socialists, what do all those folks know.
