The problem for trade, is that business likes stability. Currency fluctuations and brexit cause uncertainty. Big companies can mitigate against this, to a point, but it eats away at confidence. Smaller companies often cannot.

Does big business react to the global economy or does it control it?
Well why have MPs at all? Because they do have access to expertise, they are accountable, and their decisions are scrutinised by the upper house, as much as I dislike the fact that it is non-elected.
It is important to remember that 62.5% of people did not vote for Brexit, and that with natural wastage, within a very short period of time, remainers will outnumber leavers.
The Beeb jump on the punk bandwagon (only 39yrs late) and serenade, little Englander, Andrew Rossindale :p

Absolutely.
Although some of the time I think I could do a better job of managing the country than the clowns we elect.
And for the rest of the time I know that I could!;)
We have MP's because we have a representative democracy and generally this works reasonably well. But it works less well on constitutional matters that cut across party lines. No mainstream party has advocated leaving the EU in the last few decades so unless you wanted to vote for UKIP (which I didn't) then you were disenfranchised on the issue. Parliament voted by 6 to 1 to give the vote to the people, and they gave their verdict.
As for your 62.5% statistic, you can just as easily say 65.5% did not vote to stay in the EU.
