Italy are the favourites to be the next country to leave the EU.

Not within the next 5 to 10 years they won't.

They are only 3/1 so put £10 on them to leave and get £30 back in 10 years time, you could get a better return on the stock market.

Of course they need to have a referendum and they do have referendums in Italy.

The chances of Italians looking at the UK in five years time and thinking that we are doing great, poor, but the leavers will think otherwise.

Leavers are free to think what they want, and to do as they please with their 80 seat majority.

 

Meanwhile, and irrespectively, economic facts of life -and their inevitable consequences- keep it real...

 

...wherein, speaking of Italy, the UK is trailing it for FDI these days:

 

 

I'll let those who understand the longer-term significance of FDI starvation, draw their own conclusions.

Five years is the minimum period of time before the next country leaves the EU.  As what happened in the decades before the UK left Governments will try to avoid giving their people a referendum to decide whether to remain or leave. There is no doubt throughout the EU bloc there is momentum and desire building to leave the EU. Now that the UK has left there is hope for others and history has proven where Britain leads other nations follow.

 

If you want a value bet then choose either Sweden or Denmark at 33-1.  Poland and Hungary at 14-1 may also be worth a punt.

We need to be a success, early signs don't show that. At best, we're struggling to keep and even keel - the fishing industry that had so much effort put into it - is much worse off. As time goes on we'll see how farmers get on. Now if another car manufacturer rocks up and builds a factory then, fair play, high fives all round. Nissan not shutting yet after a government hand out isn't a win. It's a draw.

 

But have a punt on Poland if you want.

"The expected Brexit-related costs of about 100,000 pounds ($136,690) a year would be equivalent to almost 10% of online sales which in turn represent about 15% of total turnover"

I was reading that the UK fishing industry is now allowed to catch 8% more fish, so not worse off. Just that the EU still retain a sizeable right to fish in UK waters, which is not what Brexiteers wanted.

Are they selling that extra 8% of fish? Reports suggest they are a long way off selling what they caught before January 1st.
