Brexit and the emergence of panglossian politics

Abstract

There remains something about the nature of the relationship between Europe and British prime ministers, particularly of the Conservative Party, that would suggest that the latter view any decisions concerning the former with the utmost caution. Europe, and the UK relationship with it, has been a veritable “graveyard” of British Conservative prime ministers` reputations. In the world of finance, there exist instruments called options. An option is a contract which gives the buyer (the owner or holder of the option) the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset or instrument at a specified strike price on a specified date. For this option, the buyer pays a premium. If the underlying asset rises in value and the owner exercises his right, then the person can achieve a gain whose magnitude is only decreased by the premium paid. If the person does not exercise the option, he or she can but lose just the amount paid by the premium handed over at the onset. These options are regularly used in the real world for hedging purposes. But such options can also be highly speculative – particularly when engaging in what is called a naked call.
