Histogram analysis shows the first two categories post more than the last two in the ratio of about 60:40 or 65:35, depending (roughly) on how well/badly the Tories are doing at the time.
Assuming this is serious, well done on attempting it. I bet we'd all love to see where we've been categorised though!
What constitutes a regular poster, I wonder.
Someone who's posted in the last 12 months, who I've clocked.
I'm disappointed that you didn't scrape vanilla forums with a Python script as I had - naturally - assumed.
I don't know how to do that.
So go on @Casino_Royale - where do I fit in? I promise I won't take offense. I'm guessing one of the last three categories? Your analysis of course - you can categorise how you like, and your results are interesting.
I would have categorised as follows: Lab Con LD SNP Alba PC Non-aligned generally left Non-aligned generally right (where I'd place myself) Neutral Guest posters from overseas
I'd expect to place most in categories 7,8 and 9.
But that's as much as I've done. I can't criticse yours until I've done at least as much work as you have. Which isn't going to happen tonight as I have the online shop to finish.
Good proposal. You might add Green.
Put me down in Non-aligned generally left.
I did consider Green, but then wasn't sure we had any. Dura Ace?
I have voted Green in five consecutive general elections, and was for some years a GPEW member. I even delivered leaflets.
I'd suggest avoiding party labels for this sort of thing, as there's quite a bit of variety within each party. If we really wanted to do this I would think we'd want to use Baxter's 3 dimensions of British politics, using which he defines seven British political tribes - see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/pol3d_2021.html
Since we wouldn't be able to get every poster to self-report their political position, the easiest way to do it would be to present those posters interested with head-to-head match-ups of pairs of posters, and ask which was more to the left or right on one of the axes. Then you'd only need the absolute results from a few posters from doing the poll to anchor where the other posters fit, and you could classify everyone in terms of the seven tribes.

It would nonetheless be interesting to take an actual opinion poll here. Not what party does someone belong to, but who would they vote for if there were a general election tomorrow (and taking into account their seat and tactical voting).
I reckon most people would be happy to respond. I would vote Lib Dem, as usual.

Part of Casino's point with his supposed analysis is that the lefty herd is intimidating right-wing voices on here and driving them off, so although such a poll would be interesting at an anecdotal level, insofar as a few posters might surprise with their answer, you'd have all sorts of arguments about non-response bias and shy-Tory syndrome...
I don't know, how could he possibly have forseen that constantly making angry threats about how people should not join NATO or else, and then invading a non-NATO country, would lead to a bordering country to think they might need to take more steps to defend themselves? He is a foreign policy genius after all.
Then again I'm pretty sure the Russians have literally suggested defending against their attacks is a vicious escalation, so I could be wrong about that.

Maybe he just applied for the french version of settled status and payed his taxes in france like a good boy. Do you have inside info to the contrary Rog?
The big news isn't Trump, it's Nigel Lawson. An immense politician.
On here that may be the case. Without in any way being unkind to Lawson, no doubt a major figure in his day and still a prominent commentator for many today, he was from an entirely different political era. A great many people will have no memory of him as an active politician, beyond occasionally popping up as a pundit. That's not to diminish him, just that like most people his heyday in the public consciousness was quite some time ago.
"Had Credit Suisse not been sold to UBS, it would have gone bankrupt next trading day, causing global financial crisis, SNB's Schlegel said." (SNB = Swiss National Bank)
On topic the short term result is drama, and Trump always likes drama. In particular it sidelines his opponents in the primary race. But the primary race hasn't started so that doesn't matter yet.
I think the rest is kind of a grind? There will be lots of procedural wrangling, the witnesses will be in the news, and then presumably there will be more indictments for the bigger stuff. He has to double down on his crimes more, it looks icky to most of the voters but obviously not the die-hard MAGA people.
If Biden runs there's no Dem race so the independents tend to vote on the GOP side where they can do that. There's definitely an opportunity for *somebody*. Not convinced it's DeSantis.

In honesty, I don't know which is worse for America: a second Trump victory or four more years of rampant and advancing Wokeness
Neither is good, both are very bad, But let me play devil's advocate: if Trump wins again his narcissism will be satisfied and he will then retire (vindicated and a very old man). Then to be replaced by a more sane Republican versus a Democrat who is not 103 years old
Putin would probably seize Ukraine, although Putin might be MORE wary of a very unstable genius like Trump so who knows. Likewise China and Xi Jinping
On the upside the tide to Wokeness, which threatens to destroy America, the West, and the Enlightenment, stands some chance of being reversed under a confident if insane Republican like Trump,
I would prefer De Santis 10000 times over, but if it came to it, I can seen arguments for Trump, I don't know if it is a winning argument. Feel free to ban me

Why would Putin be wary of Trump. Trump wouldn't have lifted a finger to defend Kiev.

Wokeness and populism are both bad. What we need are elites that are in touch with ordinary people, like we used to have until about 25 years ago. People a bit like Nigel Lawson in fact.
1/ Lots of people are spreading this misinformation about the role ethnicity has played in the grooming gang scandal. This is the biggest race hate scandal in 21st century Britain so we need to get it right. Thread…
On Lord Lawson RIP I once travelled in SQ First with him and Lady Lawson the only other pax. Politeness personified, “please” “thank you” and “that’s so kind”. The crew clearly loved him. It was said of Mrs T she was genuinely solicitous and kind with Downing St staff even if a monster with her colleagues.

"Royal Mail has apologised after a manager announced a big pay rise for striking staff in what turned out to be an April Fool’s prank.
A letter seen by staff said the company and the Communication Workers Union had “reached an agreement” after months of strikes. It detailed a breakthrough salary increase of 11 per cent, backdated to April last year, and said staff would be able to use their own cars to make deliveries.
The notice was put up at the Royal Mail Gloucester North branch, but was shared widely because it encouraged staff to spread the word on social media.

Only this week, Trump said of Putin "ultimately, he is gonna take over all of Ukraine."
One doesn't have to be a mind-reader to realise that Trump Mk 2 is not going to be supporting Ukraine in the way that Biden has.
I would add that Trump has repeatedly signalled his desire for the US to leave NATO.
His book, the View from Number 11, is one of the very best political books I have ever read. He didn't go by chronology but by topic and as a result gave really fascinating insights as to how policy was formed and the limitations on government. It is a good innings but that is sad news. An intellectual giant compared to almost anyone in any political party today.
His views on climate change haven't aged well.
Bringing the Western economies to their knees on the strength of totally unremarkable changes in climate is going to age a lot worse.
You either don't have a clue, or you have some sort of dishonest agenda.
I thought Lawson’s view was:
- Climate change is happening - He wasn’t convinced it was entire anthropomorphic - Given 2 he felt mitigation was a better use of limited resources than carbon reduction
It may be wrong but it’s not some kind of heinous position

It’s the modern equivalent of “In America they lynch negroes” to try and divert attention away from the actions of these gangs by pointing that white men also abuse plenty of children.
One could imagine that the Jay and Casey reports had never been written. Neither ethnicity nor political correctness were the whole story, in these towns, but they were a big part of the story.

To be honest, given absolute Net Zero in carbon *emissions* is almost certainly impossible given political, social and economic constraints I suspect the way we'll actually achieve it is by decarbonising 70-80% of emissions and then littering the planet with direct air capture plants in the middle-latter half of this century to suck out the rest.
So, we'll get to Net Zero (or maybe even slightly negative) but by a different and more practical route based on engineering.
Downing Street has acknowledged that new post-Brexit “processes” contributed to issues at the Port of Dover over the weekend.
The prime minister’s official spokesman said he was aware that French border officials were “inspecting and stamping every single passport”, as is the case at all European borders for arrivals from outside the bloc.
I must confess I find Simon Calder’s analysis on this rather more compelling than Suella Braverman. Did we really insist on every passport being checked and stamped ?
Every passport being checked and stamped is a natural consequence of the end of FoM. "We insisted" is partisan gloss.
Simon Calder is merely using the FBPEr's "we shot ourselves in the foot" insinuation as he always does.
If he were more honest, he would point out that passports take longer to check now, but that busy weekends at Dover have often involved delays. For example, this from 2012:
FoM has nothing to do with the physical border, yet people keep trying to conflate the two. There have always been passport checks between the CTA and Shengen, and always been delays when the French decide to be French.
Movement of goods is different now that the UK is no longer in the EU Customs Union, but tourist traffic is pretty much the same.
Is Sunak really going for this, the “right to be offended” at work? For example, bookshop workers being allowed to sue their employer for being offended by guest speakers such as JK Rowling.

If he were more honest, he would point out that passports take longer to check now, but that busy weekends at Dover have often involved delays. For example, this from 2012:
FoM has nothing to do with the physical border, yet people keep trying to conflate the two. There have always been passport checks between the CTA and Shengen, and always been delays when the French decide to be French.
Movement of goods is different now that the UK is no longer in the EU Customs Union, but tourist traffic is pretty much the same.
No.
The restriction on lengths of stays in the EU is a consequence of ending FOM. It is this that means passports now have to be stamped, while previously they just had a cursory glance.
Downing Street has acknowledged that new post-Brexit “processes” contributed to issues at the Port of Dover over the weekend.
The prime minister’s official spokesman said he was aware that French border officials were “inspecting and stamping every single passport”, as is the case at all European borders for arrivals from outside the bloc.
I must confess I find Simon Calder’s analysis on this rather more compelling than Suella Braverman. Did we really insist on every passport being checked and stamped ?

His book, the View from Number 11, is one of the very best political books I have ever read. He didn't go by chronology but by topic and as a result gave really fascinating insights as to how policy was formed and the limitations on government. It is a good innings but that is sad news. An intellectual giant compared to almost anyone in any political party today.
His views on climate change haven't aged well.
Bringing the Western economies to their knees on the strength of totally unremarkable changes in climate is going to age a lot worse.
You either don't have a clue, or you have some sort of dishonest agenda.
I thought Lawson’s view was:
- Climate change is happening - He wasn’t convinced it was entire anthropomorphic - Given 2 he felt mitigation was a better use of limited resources than carbon reduction
It may be wrong but it’s not some kind of heinous position
For a very intelligent guy, he had some terrible judgment.
To be honest, given absolute Net Zero in carbon *emissions* is almost certainly impossible given political, social and economic constraints I suspect the way we'll actually achieve it is by decarbonising 70-80% of emissions and then littering the planet with direct air capture plants in the middle-latter half of this century to suck out the rest.
So, we'll get to Net Zero (or maybe even slightly negative) but by a different and more practical route based on engineering.
All three are linked but imv plastic pollution & loss of habitat are bigger dangers than AGW for nature.
On Lord Lawson RIP I once travelled in SQ First with him and Lady Lawson the only other pax. Politeness personified, “please” “thank you” and “that’s so kind”. The crew clearly loved him. It was said of Mrs T she was genuinely solicitous and kind with Downing St staff even if a monster with her colleagues.
The mark of a man, is how they treat the people paid to attend to them. Especially staff in hotels, restaurants, planes, who have no idea who their customers will be on any day.

So spending two seconds stamping someone’s passport, is leading to massive queues at Dover - as oppposed to the French just being French?
Before the UK left the EU, there were huge queues at Dover at least a couple of weeks a year - Operation Stack has been around since 1988!

I think they're related because whether you have FoM or not affects what the passport checks need to do. If a British person wants to enter Schengen and they're part of the same FoM zone as you then you (mostly) just need to check that they have a British passport. If they're not doing FoM then you also need to manage how long they'll be allowed to stay and whether they've already stayed too long, which involves more steps.
Can’t think why they’re protected. They’re an invasive species and there are far too bloody many of them.
Go try the U.S., they have even more of them. And since dogs are rarely let off lead outside of fenced dog parks, American squirrels don’t even run away. Until the last minute, obvs.

Yes but having to reach the Channel Tunnel along miles of narrow country lanes, with dozens of police manning almost every junction on the back roads, because the motorway built directly to it is full of stationary lorries, is hardly a national success, is it?
Histogram analysis shows the first two categories post more than the last two in the ratio of about 60:40 or 65:35, depending (roughly) on how well/badly the Tories are doing at the time.

I'd expect to place most in categories 7,8 and 9.

I did consider Green, but then wasn't sure we had any. Dura Ace?
I’m a Green Party member, albeit one who probably sits in the ‘generally left’ bit (I’d argue for the two non-aligned categories to be merged into ‘centrist dad’). Though I’m maybe not a regular enough poster.

No, it's not just the French. Immigration bureaucracies everywhere are much worse than they should be (since the people subject to them don't have the right to vote) but this is also true for foreigners coming into the UK. Heathrow will often have pretty horrendous queues for non-nationals, Narita has apparently had massive queues lately, it's very common. If you have the unquestioned right to stay (British person entering Britain, permanent-resident reentering Japan) it's usually very fast, both because the job is easier and because they try harder to make it quick.

No, FoM related to the entitlement to a National Insurance number, and the right to work. Nothing to do with border checks.
It does appear that the French want to stamp passports to check for overstays, but that takes only a couple of seconds per passport.

"I feel like former Johnson supporters feel like former Corbyn supporters. And that is okay, we all make mistakes. We grow."
Based on that and some of his other early posts, I'm pretty sure Horse B's relationship to CHB is the same as Richard Bachman's to Stephen King.
I'd suggest avoiding party labels for this sort of thing, as there's quite a bit of variety within each party. If we really wanted to do this I would think we'd want to use Baxter's 3 dimensions of British politics, using which he defines seven British political tribes - see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/pol3d_2021.html
Since we wouldn't be able to get every poster to self-report their political position, the easiest way to do it would be to present those posters interested with head-to-head match-ups of pairs of posters, and ask which was more to the left or right on one of the axes. Then you'd only need the absolute results from a few posters from doing the poll to anchor where the other posters fit, and you could classify everyone in terms of the seven tribes.
But it does seem like a lot of work.

I think the rest is kind of a grind? There will be lots of procedural wrangling, the witnesses will be in the news, and then presumably there will be more indictments for the bigger stuff. He has to double down on his crimes more, it looks icky to most of the voters but obviously not the die-hard MAGA people.
If Biden runs there's no Dem race so the independents tend to vote on the GOP side where they can do that. There's definitely an opportunity for *somebody*. Not convinced it's DeSantis.

Neither is good, both are very bad, But let me play devil's advocate: if Trump wins again his narcissism will be satisfied and he will then retire (vindicated and a very old man). Then to be replaced by a more sane Republican versus a Democrat who is not 103 years old
Putin would probably seize Ukraine, although Putin might be MORE wary of a very unstable genius like Trump so who knows. Likewise China and Xi Jinping
On the upside the tide to Wokeness, which threatens to destroy America, the West, and the Enlightenment, stands some chance of being reversed under a confident if insane Republican like Trump,
I would prefer De Santis 10000 times over, but if it came to it, I can seen arguments for Trump, I don't know if it is a winning argument. Feel free to ban me

"Royal Mail has apologised after a manager announced a big pay rise for striking staff in what turned out to be an April Fool’s prank.
A letter seen by staff said the company and the Communication Workers Union had “reached an agreement” after months of strikes. It detailed a breakthrough salary increase of 11 per cent, backdated to April last year, and said staff would be able to use their own cars to make deliveries.
The notice was put up at the Royal Mail Gloucester North branch, but was shared widely because it encouraged staff to spread the word on social media.
Celebrations turned to anger when workers realised it was a prank........."
One doesn't have to be a mind-reader to realise that Trump Mk 2 is not going to be supporting Ukraine in the way that Biden has.
I would add that Trump has repeatedly signalled his desire for the US to leave NATO.
Trump is a wet dream for Putin and Russia.
FOUR. MORE. YEARS!
- Climate change is happening
