Two questions. One an RFI, the other vanity.

Posted on 02/21/2016 7:06:22 AM PST by ameribbean expat

Two questions.

1. David Cameron has lumped Boris Johnson in with the Eurosceptic. Why? Boris is mayor of London, a city that depends on EU access to make its money. Has anyone seen good commentary on Boris and the opt out vote?

2. The UK will vote on the EU membership question in June. The Murdoch vehicle WSJ came out yesterday in the weekend edition in favor of an exit. Impact on the US election?

It is expected by Daily Telegraph to announce a Brexit position at approximately 5:00 EST so check back in about eight hours for tons of reaction.

RFI = Radio frequency interference.

I wouldnt think there will be any impact on the US election at all. There might be a question at a debate, but its hardly an issue that will divide candidates.

London and NY battle for recognition as global financial capitol. If there’s a Brexit, you will see Wall Street’s interest in the US elections increase. Exponentially.

I thought that it had been known for sometime that he was an “out.” Isn’t he looking for a step up the pecking order next go-around with the Conservatives?
