    A worthy candidate :p. I think there is a growing shortage of Dukes due to attrition. So perhaps we should enforce minimum number of children quotas on our peers?

    Well the caucus is still going on, and by the looks of it, it will be an hour before we get enough results.

    Best news I've heard all day.

    There are problems with the Nevada caucus process. In Reno they've run out of English caucus forms, so non-Spanish speakers have to fill out Spanish language forms.

    Statewide they are having logistic issues due to the high turnout.

    Mr. Herdson, ah.

    Well, the end of the 18th and start of the 19th century was a pretty boring time. Not to mention being frightfully modern.

    Esteemed Mr H,

    Raw hyperlinks with an underscore "_" don't work in Vanilla discussions.

    Don't leave your "_" naked.

    Enclose it as, for instance

    [a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Republic_(18th_century)"]the Roman republic[/a]

    Except you should replace "[" by "<" and "]" by ">" to get the full effect.

    So Dave really is the heir to Thatcher.

    No heir to Heath. And will be regarded as such forever more.
    Heath was awesome. Took Middlesbrough out of Yorkshire.
    Another of the criminal acts he committed!!! Messing with the county boundaries is almost a greater crime than selling us out to the EU.
    Can we agree that he was right to sack Powell after that speech that increased attacks on non whites?

    Maggie was happy with a European trading bloc.

    Doubt she would have wanted the EUSSR.

    Mr. Child, Clinton losing to Obama was due to his excellent campaign. Will that excuse wash if she manages to lose to a socialist?

    Was it? I'd suggest Clinton's problem in 2016 is much the same as in 2008 and its what had me trading against her then and now.

    She's a divisive figure.

    The only thing on her side this time is that Bernie's politics are a bit too out there, but even then she seems to be unable to put him away early.

    BTW Mr Tyndall I've only just heard within the last hour my Norweigan resident brother in law tell me that 'we are not in the EU but we do all they tell us'.
    I'll grant you some modest hyperbole.

    Fortunately your Norwegian Brother in Law is wrong. But then whether it is Norway, the UK, France or Outer Mongolia there is usually a big divide between public perceptions and reality.
    It's a sod, the public having a vote.
    Not at all. It just means we have to persuade them. Of course in the case of Norway the Government dearly wishes the public didn't have the vote because every time they ask the EU question they get beaten.
    The Norweigan people keep voting in governments that apply EU regulations and edicts even though they are not in the EU.
    Norway, not in the EU, has had to act despite being in Schengen to bring in controls to halt Syrian immigrants. But only at the moment for 20 days. This is because EU Sweden chose to bring in border controls.
    Non EU Norway has had thousands of Syrian immigrants.
    In recent times some 29,000 asylum seekers have entered Norway. Russia as not been helpful.

    From 538

    "Real results are starting to come in, and it’s 49 percent for Clinton and 50 percent for Sanders. Keep in mind, however, that a lot of northern Nevada is already reporting. Counties like Lander and Humboldt have already reported over 50 percent of their precincts. These are places Sanders is winning by a large margin. Only 6 percent of Clark County (home to Las Vegas), where Clinton is winning, has reported."

    Reckon it was Hunt

    Well, he's been the butt of enough genital puns recently so probably returning the favour.
