My own boring story of how I’ve put my money where my mouth is in my belief in the likelihood of a hung parliament.
Currently, what with Norway being outside the customs union, we have to pay duty and a processing fee on any imported goods. The limit is 350 NOK (around £35) meaning that if the value of goods plus shipping is less than that you don’t pay any tax or fees, neither in the country you bought it from or in Norway.
I just ordered a new chain and cassette which came to a grand total of 344.47 NOK from CRC. This is far closer to the limit than I like. The reason being that they judge the value based on the exchange rate when the goods enter the country, not when I buy them.
So, if the value of the goods when they reach customs is 349,49 NOK I don’t pay any extra, whereas if it is 350,01 NOK I will have to pay an extra 257 NOK (it’s logical bureaucratic things like this you can look forward to after the UK leaves the customs union).
If there is no overall majority then I expect the Pound to plummet. If Johnson gets his majority then presumably it will go up and I will get stung with the import charges.
So there we go, that’s the really really boring explanation of my skin in the game for this election (you know, except for the fact I lose the benefits of freedom of movement and might have to move back to my parents house in Glasgow if it all goes completely tits up).
