Obama said that UK would "go to the back of the queue" for trade deals if we left Europe. Trump said that as a reliable ally and partner, the UK would be "first in line" for any new trade agreements. Should I hope for a Trump win?

Hilary has said that she will continue Obama's trade policy.

He probably even believed it when he said it; after all, the UK has lots of WASPs as well as plenty of Celts and Gaels, who are much more to Mr Trump's liking than than anybody with a different skin colour.

Let's hope we don't find out. :)

Ray in your part of the woods, on the other side of the pond, I am sure you have your share of politicians of all shades. The same holds true here. Promises and more promises. This election in the US has been one of paramount ignorance on all sides and around the "beltway". I cannot remember any presidential election that even comes close to this one for the lack of substance and regard for the true issues. Regardless of how it turns out it will not the circus will not end Tuesday night. I forsee judicial protests and courtroom drama for many months to come. Some have forseen a "tie". Heaven forbid. In that case the decision would go up through the courts ending at the US Supreme court which is down one. If there is a tie in the Supreme Court's decision the case is automatically reverted back down to the first court who heard it and their decision would stand. Months perhaps years would be pass. So in answer to your question I have no answer.
