China impending doom! Political and financial reform in China well overdue!

The promises of years, still not arriving for Chinese people, you would have thought with Russia's Brazils experience they would have learned but no, because investors and consumers fell their pain but their leaders never do. No transparency or accountability with elections.

Call my bluff - Europe and the EU, Europe will win!

Amazing how a bit of a lead from Brexit seems to now be exposing the cracks others papered over with "populist rhetoric" (as they now like to call it) and fabricated discourse over the past decade

They have their work cut out to see if the deluded at each level are prepared to come clean. Which way will it go. Probably towards the reform the UK and others always wanted, but still looks like it will be "slowly". It didnt need to be like this!

Merkel suffers humiliating election defeat on home turf — FT.com

The long brewing politics in Europe, from Greece to Spain, Italy to Ireland, France to Germany is what made many brits vote to get out of the EU. Europe is a great place but each country has to be accountable for itself and the proxy of a few the EU muddles the view too much for too many. If the emergence of forces unfit for Britain took further control staying is would be a real danger. Britain knows what its doing when its allows to get on with its own business. The same is true for all other countries. 2016 is an inflection point for polical nonsense in Europe and hopefully will see core issues of their economies, their unemployment especial of youth unemployment and their roles in world trade come into clear focus for all countries.
