Not sure what he will do for me but for the markets there will be a positive reaction given his former role as "Chancellor of the Exchequer". About Iraq? He did support the war but will want to distinguish himself from Blair hence, he has already indicated a desire to withdraw troops. Toward the United States? he is a "transatlanticist" but expect a slightly cooler relationship with Washington. What's everyone else think?
