Brexit:Winner DOESN'T Take It All

What is unfathomably UNUSUAL at least in my mind, is the perversion and corruption of the “Leave” result of the 2016 European Union referendum.

In our first-past-the-post system of voting or even a simple majority in referendum, I find it astonishing that the “remain” campaign has been emboldened and active three-and-half years after the decision of the mentioned referendum. If there is to be no finality of decision where 17.4 million people of the electorate participated, and in the passage of time the losing campaign want to overturn that decision, then certain past election results retrospectively can also be made null-and-void. This critique is also extended to parallels of the Scottish Independent referendum.

Why don’t we the people / “demos” have different referendums on variety of issues all the time – and the Brexit impasse has highlighted the less than noble integrity of the representative democracy in the House of Commons? Jeremy Corbyn has pledged referendums if Labour Party is elected in this vital General Election 2019. As a staunch “leaver” I can just about stomach that (and if “remain” wins we’ll campaign in time to reverse that decision – haha!). I believe that’s why the EU referendum leaflet we ALL received mentioned akin to “once in a generational vote” - remainers don’t geddit!

The Anti-Hero: Corbyn (Source: Twitter)

A local case in point of how Parliamentary representative democracy deceives the British people: the previous Tory Battersea MP was an “IN” voter but decided to respect the “national” majority of Euref 2016 and campaigned “OUT” of EU. And indeed in fairness to sitting MP Marsha De Cordova, her “Remain” stance is representative of her constituency vote, which was pro-Brexit by some 62%, I believe. In contrast to Marsha, another local Labour Party MP for Vauxhall Kate Hoey, in her constituency voted to remain in EU, but she has vociferously supported “leave” result. And here’s the rub of the double-speak dissemble we don’t know how the respective MPs actually voted at the secret ballot in EUREF’16.

Brexit Results Conundrum (Source: Twitter - pending validity check)

From the unverified graphisc above we have a remainer Parliament with 486 Remain MPs, at odds with 406 Leave voting constituencies. Democracy in the UK is alive and kicking - Bah!

And here we are, Wednesday's dissolution of the House of Commons for the General Election 2019 on December 12th. There is only one clear vote for the Britons eligible to vote, that can gain a majority and pass through a Brexit deal of any kind and an even unlikely Remain referendum choice.
All other options are distraction and likely to split House of Commons and back at the same standstill / impasse. Britons were here in 1979 with country at standstill from Union strikes but this time its Parliament bringing the country to standstill - who was ushered in as PM then?!

European Independence By The Bravehearts

FPM envision European countries liberated and disbanded from recent 'monetarist' union towards forming re-newed independent national identities, and eventually forming newly grouped nation blocs, viz BRIC Bank. 

Witness Crimea liberated from Ukraine towards rejoining a Russian block alliance. Also, consider possibility in September 2014 of Scotland breaking away from England and that historical complex union known as the United Kingdom. This probable break-up scenario and redrawing of political and/or  socio-economic divides is perhaps reversing the recent trends towards fostered through globalisation. FPM initially provide partial anecdotal joined-up evidence to conclude that: under certain conditions de-centralisation of socio-economic  political powers is inevitable and perhaps a positive end at the turn of this milieu. The time frame for these speculated national defragmentation outcomes varies. The very quick decisive unchecked invasion and consensus formed by Russian land-grabs such as Crimea and Chechnya differs from that of  long-drawn regime-change in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, etc

Relevantly, capitalistic imperialism is under review in socio-economic-political regimes all over the world. Not least in the U.S.A., home of global hegemony, but where populist protests have been quashed but not as yet rescinded in human memory. Take a multi-nationally sourced cross-section of news websites or television channels to see populist or agent provocateur stirred strife bubbling over into vivid street demonstrations and protest regarding status quo factors. Protests happening all over the globe no less! More importantly, how these events are slanted as serving some national interest and literally serving an agenda with platitude propaganda to some as yet unknown Black Swan future. So the unsuspecting public are the last to understand the truth behind world events and politics affecting them and their progeny. The mismatch between reality and rhetoric via mainstream media is an intriguing political science.

FPM asks to what end are these pockets of people protests and upheavals aimed at. Protests which seemingly have coincided with the onset and ongoing global financial crisis started in 2007-08. In the not too distant past, economic crisis  has been the main catalyst for dissenting revolt against status quo establishment. Witness the grand exemplar The French Revolution of 1789-99. In a trend of globalization through  economic democracy the international grab for land and its resources is the Earth's competitive political hot kitchen of today! 

These national situations featuring military intervention is uncomfortably verging on civil wars, so not merely hot kitchen but war-torn lands.  As this this is a financial investments blog, geopolitical risks are the game-changer events for capital markets to chew over. For instance, Deutsche Bank has a team to research and analyse theses geopolitical impact on capital markets and investment strategy. Current news featuring Ukraine politics embodies geopolitical risks on a global scale affecting national interests in regards to former super-power led by Russia. FPM has propounded the capital market volatility in reading between the lines of the situation in macro strategic posts. This Ukraine crisis on the back of the European Union's financial crisis and that of its existentialism in 2011 follows too quick in human memory. That crisis was ignited through Greece's national insolvency problems. 

To be clear socio-political economics motivated protests are happening globally. Which ultimately impacts on country's economic prospects and therefore produces capital market bouts of stagnation and volatility from uncertainty and instability regarding the future. Added to the  heady mix of turbulence mentioned, FPM identify a real and pressing concern about the global ecology and climate change...
