I agree with the comments above about the poor choice in this election. I don't particularly want either main party to win, but can probably tolerate one more than the other.

Interesting stuff about possible Russian interference. It's a bit of a win-win election for them; the Tories will weaken the EU and the UK economy, whereas Labour would trash the UK economy, have a leader who is ambivalent to say the least about NATO and who would put Diane Abbott in charge of MI5 - a body that she wanted to be abolished.

I'm travelling to France in February and am wondering whether to buy some Euros now - the pound will rise sharply if the Tories win (although some of that rise has already been priced in by the markets), will fall if there is a hung Parliament and will fall by double finger percentage points if we get either a Labour government or a Labour SNP coalition.
