"Regardless of which outcome you support, which outcome do you expect in the EU referendum?"
UK will remain - 77% UK will leave - 23%
Totally overwhelming. Deep down, everyone knows the UK won't actually leave.
Carbon copy of the Scottish referendum and the GE - in the sense that people who may want to vote one way (and indeed who will walk to the polling station planning to vote that way) will then bottle it at the last minute.
And everyone knows it - as illustrated by that landslide Wisdom Index result.
I agree. When Cameron won a majority it meant we would remain in the EU for a generation
Yup - this'll take Dave to 5 out of 5 (two GEs, AV ref, Scot ref, EU ref).
He's one of those people who just have that magic - he'll never lose - just as Thatcher, Reagan, Clinton and Blair never lost - and not only that (and more significantly) none of them ever came remotely near to losing.

Thanks for that. I've skimmed it and it's very interesting.
Are there regular meetings of experts, not to discuss the latest bio technology and uses, but to discuss best practice for safety in the industry - as there are in computer security? Where experts can get together formally in conference and informally in the bars afterwards and say things like: "You may want to look at the way you filter air: we narrowly avoided a problem because the UV lights lost efficiency before their lifespan" (invented and ridiculous example).
Or does military and industrial secrecy in the industry, along with embarrassment at disclosing issues, preclude them?
IMO any good organisation can learn a great deal from near misses that are carefully analysed and acted upon, at less cost than a real incident. Even better if you can learn from other peoples' near misses.
Sorry, got a little busy after posting the link.
Yes, there are safety conferences (American Biological Safety Association, European Biosafety Association) but there is not a good reporting culture - perhaps as many as 70% of all laboratory acquired infections are not reported. So there is a need for a change in learning culture and no blame culture before we can get to that level.

Nice work if you can get it.
