  • I think there’s a lot of assumptions going into current polling. Labour is disenfranchising a lot of people, but a large number are becoming true “don’t knows” and taking themselves out of polling calculations.

    These are the the left of the party who are politically homeless. The greens are mopping up some of them, but Polanski is a divisive character. Some love him, and some find him superficial. Some might land in the Lib Dems as their social policies are left of labour, but there’s a lot that would never even consider that. Corbyn was trying to set up a party for them, but that’s never going anywhere.

    One thing is for sure, this block is not voting for Farage. He’s diametrically opposite to what these people believe in.








  • The company doesn’t care if the stock price hits $1. If the company is paying it’s bills, it just continues. It’s the people who hold shares that care. The company doesn’t hold shares in itself.

    Enron collapsed because the company financials collapsed, not because the stock price collapsed. That happened after all the bad accounting practises and hidden debt came to light. Now, in that case the shareholders succeeded in suing for their losses, but they only had a case because of the mismanagement.
