johnson running for office again. he famously came in third in the presidential election getting almost 4.5 million votes and 3.3% of the national vote, the highest since rossot in 1996. many accused he and green party candidate jill stein of playing spoilers in a race decided by slim margins in a handful of swing states. with the mid-term less than three months awhat johnson served two terms as governor. he was nominated by the party this month after the previous libertarian candidate withdrew. johnson is running against democratic senator martin hein rick and nick rich. does he have a shot despite his henri? could a libertarian win a senate race this year, suggesting johnson has already surpassed rich as the choice of both republican and independents. governor, great to have you back, fiscally conservative and essentially cool. yeah, thank you. here's the point, right, already fiscal conservatives in walk. there are socially cool representatives in walk. but there's nobody who is both. is that your void? >> well, what's at stack here is oeshlly being the swing vote in the senate. so if you've howeverer ever heard me talking about running for the u.s. sena

johnson is not. it is what happens next. she is trying to piece together a deal before she even has a deal with europe. she has to deal with politicians around her. on ross a plan to stay closer to europe for longer. that is not going to go down well with eurosceptics. nejra: we have unemployment at a 43 year low, but still failing to ignite pay growth. is mark carney wrong when he says there are domestic pressures on inflation moving upward? >> they obviously voted unanimously to hike rates. the economist the of is that they will hold fire through the brexit vote next year. pretty muchg it for every major central banker around the world. the lower you push on employment, it still seems inflation has yet to ignite. nejra: we are seeing some wage growth in the u k, is that likely to sustain? >> it is too early to tell. it might pick up. but it is too early to see. tom: to round out through this crisis that we have seen, we have talked in the last hour of multilateral, our last guest from south africa talked about a tilism, how do you perceive the new mercantilism? >> it is certainly a case of what comes next. the trump administration ratcheting up terrace
