Yes, I do trust his ability to make economic decisions - but I also understand trying to manage a national economy in a world still recovering from the Banking Crisis, the refugee crisis, and fluctuating oil prices, is not as simple as some would like to make out/believe. Economics is not binary, no matter how many times you try to convince everyone it is - there are many conflicting theories and views on the best way forward, and they are based on people's beliefs and experiences; that's why Economics is regarded as a "soft science", rather than a hard one.
I also understand that he believes that Britain is better staying in - I'm still on the fence, but I respect his right to hold that view (just like I respect Boris et al's right to have a different view).
You would like to conflate these things together - I hope you find someone who accepts your viewpoint, but I'm not that person..  |
So do you trust his decision about the Brexit economic consequences?
I personally think he has over sold his message so that it may be seen as hyperbole rather than an authoritative economic assessment but he does have a point ..
I am also thinking of replying in future in large red bold font so that everyone can see the message? What do you think?
