just had a pretty interesting discussion with someone who was saying that the chief strategist at the company they work for (large multi national) has explained with a report of analysis that the best vote for them as people/company is Labour. Which shocked us both. Regardless of the fact that they will get hammered on corporation tax, the employees will mainly have to pay more money because all are well paid (their only benefit being possible investment in infrastructure) the stances of both parties on Brexit make it a no brainer. The conservative no deal strategy would be so viciously negative in it's outcome that he has recommended that all vote Labour.  I was pretty shocked by that but it's very interesting given that for so many people the deep economic ramifications will be not understood and offset on other topics like NHS/Security that sway their vote.

A multinational company formally communicates to its employees which way to vote???

Do they know what's in the Brexit deal before the rest of us?

no I questioned this. it was a private interaction because in his position he was getting questioned so much every day as to which way he voted he wrote up his reasoning and offered to those that talked to him as a non company related discussion piece.

they know that soft deal > no deal economically both short and medium term.  the fact that the tories don't even have a position is clearly a very worrying situation to be in.

They simply don't know anything, that's the problem with these predictions and they rightly shouldn't reveal their hand too much before negotiatons...

if you are aware of the complexity scope and things involved which you deal with on a day to day basis + are willing to look at multiple sides and come to an informed conclusion,  you can likely give a better opinion than a troll who only talks about cricket and asia.....

how old I am and how old I feel would be two different questions. how old I act in different situations might also provide different answers   

I would say i'm an old 31.

YouGov last poll showed Tories with 7 point lead - 42% against Labour at 35%.

Be interesting to see how accurate that will be.
