As the election's campaign is heating up, the papers are inundated with articles guessing who will win, how a hung parliament will affect the economy, how the spending cuts will affect us all.
It looks like whoever wins, next goverment will have to deal with very impopular measurements to stabilize the economy, with a deficit which is still at such incredibly high levels...
I tend to be optimistic though, yesterday some of the largest UK listed companies posted excellent results, from the Banks, to companies in different sectors like Whitbread, BSkyB, Unilever or Diageo (we love their products, don't we?). Even though the Greece bailout will still be a big topic for a while, I would expect that those big business being back to normal means that the economy is finally growing, and that, ultimately should ease a bit the deficit as income from tax will also increase.
Enough of economic and political news and views, we are heading towards a lovely long weekend, so many of you will have better things to worry about ;-)
Enjoy.
