THE UK -EU IN-OUT REFERENDUM 2013


To: The Right Honourable British Prime Minister Mr. David Cameron

From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

Date: February 4, 2013

RE: Your Speech on Europe in-out referendum.

Suggestion: Good Morning Mr. Prime Minister. I had read your complete speech on EU very recently. You had said in your speech "Britain could make her own way in the world outside the EU". As an Analyst, I can say that you are wrong Mr. Prime Minister. It is not a good idea to leave EU. It would be absolute worst thing that could happen to UK because EU is by far the strongest force in the world for free trade. For instance, EU is presently finalising FTA with Canada. EU has genuine FTA with South Korea. Recently, EU is finalising FTA with Singapore. The numbers speak for themselves. You may argue that FTA still likely with EFTA, EEC or individual treaties like Switzerland and Norway but indeed, geography matters after all for trading Mr. Prime Minister. In addition, UK imports more from EU than it exports to EU. If EU imposed heavy tariffs on imported products it would be significantly harming UK economy.

Let me put it in perspective. EU gives businessess access to nearly 500 million consumers for UK business sector and makes UK more prosperous till 2007. Thereafter, UK economy slipped into recession due to global financial crisis 2008.  Today, Britain is blaming the UK's poor growth on euro crisis. Most Britain are in favour of leaving the EU. Mr. Prime Minister, it is your job to educate British people, leaving the EU may mark the start of nightmare of British econnomy. Britain has done a fantastic job in building the EU for global free trade. The UK-EU free market trade increased consumer choice and goods are no longer delayed in customs and delivering goods on time or shortly and bringing down the price for consumers.

UK could join NAFTA to create counterveiling power of traded disputes but ultimately this would create bad relationship with Europe. UK economy is already in fragile. It would be double tragedy for UK.  Even child would be smart enough to pick an option for trading with EU benefits or individual treaties benefits. Britain cannot be success without EU but EU can be success without Britain.  As you knew that EU is the biggest market in the world and it produces around 25 percent of global GDP. The EU is an innovative idea. Presently, EU is in crisis but the crisis is temporary. In my view, United States of Europe is a solution. EU will be a success project without UK.  

Thank you very much for your kind attention Mr. Prime Minister.

Sincere Regards,
Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

INDIA'S FARM BILL 2020

To:     The Right Hon. Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: February 15, 2021 RE:     India’s Farm Bills 2020 Suggestion: Hon. Prime Minister, let me start paying my respects to you and through you to. India’s farm reforms have been advocated for many decades by the Indian farm economists. In fact, I’m strongly in the favour of the farm reforms when I was in Indian financial market 2007. The farm laws are very good in intent and end ecologically unsound practices. Farm law needs to be welcomed as farm laws are free market laws which allow private players to directly purchase agriculture products from farmers. In other words, farm law eliminates middlemen and gives the right to farmers to sell their agriculture products to whoever they want and they could decide the price but your government proposal on farm laws which fear that it refrain small farmers have freedom to negotiate to...

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA To: The Right Honorable Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: 30.09.2011 RE: Japan Energy Policy Suggestion: Changing Industrial Policy Good Morning Prime Minister. BBC World broadcasted your speech regarding alternate energy sources. I agree with your approach to reduce nuclear power in the medium term because having the nuclear reactors in an earthquake prone zone is not safe for the environment or the communities that live near them. Japan is struck in a difficult situation concerning energy. If you want to eventually move away from the nuclear energy, you’ll have to invest more alternative energy sources. If you can’t invest, then it may have to say with a nuclear power for a while. You need make the right decision because source of energy is dwindling. You have one more option which is Japanese people depend on nuclear power with only 1% but 9% including hydroe...
