Back in 2009 when Britain was first put on negative outlook (then by Standard & Poors), George Osborne said:
“It’s now clear that Britain’s economic reputation is on the line at the next general election, another reason for bringing the date forward and having that election now…”
So now Moody’s have taken the same action, we presume Osborne will be taking the same line again.
When’s our election George?
