Chances of no-deal Brexit fall as PM Johnson's hopes rise -Reuters poll

LONDON - The chances of a no-deal Brexit fell in the last month because UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson looks set to win a Dec. 12 election and secure the backing in parliament he needs to get his new Withdrawal Agreement passed, a Reuters poll found.

“Brexit headwinds have dissipated as the threat of no-deal in October passed and the Brexit deadline was pushed out again. The focus has clearly shifted to the UK election campaign,” said Victoria Clarke, an economist at Investec. Johnson’s Conservative Party edged further ahead of the opposition Labour Party during the past week, a public opinion poll by ICM showed on Monday.

Third spot was the more extreme option of leaving without a deal and trading under World Trade Organization rules. As in most Reuters polls, last place went to Brexit being cancelled.Britain’s departure from the EU has been delayed three times, causing huge uncertainty among investors and consumers as there was - and still is - no clear indication as to how, when, or even if the two sides will finally divorce.

The economy will barely expand in the fourth quarter, growing just 0.2%, the poll found. Growth is then forecast to accelerate to 0.3%-0.4% per quarter until the middle of 2021. Last week, the Bank of England nudged up its growth forecasts. But two of the Bank’s policymakers voted to cut rates and others could follow if growth remains weak and uncertainty about Britain’s longer-term trade ties with the EU persists.

大家来猜猜，是英国先脱欧还是英国女王先离世？

Mercer and Farage must be laughing

There will be a no deal Brexit. Johnson and the Brexiteers are traitors knowingly doing harm to the country at the behest of a foreign power. They are beneath contempt.

Why do you continue to tweet this? It’s simply not true. No Deal is the default option in the WAB. The gov says it we’ll not extend the transition period. A FTA in 12 months is impossible so we will be leaving on WTO terms in Dec 2020.

where are the dream of Boris 'die in a ditch' ?

As one of the world’s leading news organisations, can you please explain why you completely failed to notice that the Gov’t has explicitly said it will not extend the transition beyond Dec 2020. 12 months to get a FTA. Impossible. No Deal is the only possible outcome

This totally wrong. We’d leave at the end of 2020 without a deal.

Fantasy

looks like Jeff Daniels in Dumb & Dumber.

That fool is as ignorant as trump and likely a Russian asset

Brexit is second concern for many people. In one of the richest country’s in the world people are going hungry. Care for the elderly is awful our health care funds are being withdrawn. The UN condemned our Government it’s almost as it’s there as a distraction.

Throw both their asses out of Government. It’s up to you the United Kingdom. It’s up to you. Don’t let us down.

Election gift for PM Johnson: Brexit Party stands down in Conservative seatsPrime Minister Boris Johnson won the most significant boost of the British elect... Had to happen - a split Brexit vote was not on the agenda really. Courageous and very dignified gesture from our leader to the Prime Minister, I only hope he respects this move. It’s not a gift. Many of those seatsThe Tories won are very marginal anyway, and the seats the brexit party will now contest are ones the Tories were looking to win back but now might not. I expected Reuters to be more on the ball of this stuff.
