Hello and welcome to Brokonomics now as you know we have some criticisms of the Conservative Party and you probably pick that up from our election night coverage and much of our other coverage and of course we did the excellent stream with Apostolic majesty last week going through the obituary of the Conservative Party and in that Apostolic Majesty made some excellent points that really helped gel my thinking on why the party has got itself into this sort of issue and the sort of factionalism within it. But of course we are both outsiders. I have spent some time in Parliament. I've done a couple of stints working in Parliament and even

CCHQ a long time ago when it was at its formal

draft in Smith Square, but I haven't been a Conservative MP so I haven't been able to

see it from the inside. Well in this episode I wanted to talk to

with somebody who has actually been on the inside of it and as frustrating as it must have been for us on the outside if you are actually inside the party and having conservative instincts it must have been a somewhat

torturous experience so I thought of myself who do I know who can talk about that and

then I thought it's gonna to be Marcus Fish. Welcome to Brokenomics. Thank you very

much. It's a pleasure to be here. So tell us a little bit about yourself and

particularly the the turn that your life took in 2015?

Well, I have a background in business and in fund of management.

That's what I started out doing.

I used to manage money.

What man did you look after?

I did Asia Pacific Equities and global equities.

I was the Asia Point person on our global equities team for Mercury asset management that became

Merrill Lynch Investment Managers back in the day and then after I left there

I went and lived in Asia and Australia and I did sort of venture capital private equity

advisory on a boutique sort of a basis and ended up being an entrepreneur

starting up a business doing affordable housing in India and that was very interesting.

Not a wildly background to myself then.

A sensible trap.

Lots of experience of all different places,
