ORB: with likelihood to vote it's 46% Remain, 54% Leave.
Throwing the whole machinery of government behind Remain and making up scare stories about refugee camps in Kent doesn't seem to be working. What next?
As one of the few on here who has predicted a Leave win, I reckon Lynton Crosby is spot on. It's what I've thought for ages: Leavers are far more motivated to go out and vote. No-one outside the LibDems is positively fond of the EU. At least six or seven million hate it.
This, of course, explains Project Fear
PF is all about getting the 51% who aren't engaged, and therefore think the EU is probably OK, out to vote.
I'm looking at the 538 delegate tracker to see how losing Ohio impacts Trump.
To make up for the shortfall of the 66 Ohio delegates, Trump has to get more than 60% in N.Carolina + all of N.Mariana Islands delegates+ all of Missouri delegates+ all of Illinois delegates. An impossible task.
At present course he is going to come tomorrow out around 50 delegates short and he only has a 16 delegate margin.
So he will start to fall behind his targets for 1237 delegates, and that will only grow for the next month since he won't win any delegates from Utah, Colorado and N.Dakota. By April 16th Trump will be around 60 delegates short of his targets for a majority, he will need to make up that difference by winning almost all congressional districts in N.Y and Pennsylvania.
Failing that, his next chance will the last primary on June 7th in California, last poll there has Trump leading by 16:

Willing buyer, willing seller. The fundamental principle of the capitalist system.
Would people rent AirBnB Properties if they knew they were being rented illegally and that the landlord may not have public liability insurance?
I have not rented through AirBnB but have a friend who rents out part of his property and is generally very pleased. It is an architectural gem so tends to attract people interested in the architecture.
What I would be concerned about is (a) getting what is promised; (b) the flat is safe i.e. no dodgy boilers, fire hazards etc. I quite like hotels and don't really want the bother of having to keep house in any way when on holiday - I do quite enough of that at home - but each to their own.
I would not rent out my own home to strangers.
Still, this seems to me to be a trivial issue for London. Housing for Londoners is of far more importance than the choice of accommodation available to tourists.
I have a feeling some of these things will end in tears, AirBnB, Uber, peer lending.
Or maybe I'm just old.
Peer to peer lending has already been warned about. It is likely that any new development will lead to good and bad stuff happening. New ways of using assets and using technology strikes me, on the whole, as a good thing. It's the whole moral self-righteous guff that goes with it that is so nauseating, as well as the hypocrisy. Tech barons are as good at sweating their assets, whether this be people, techie stuff or consumers' data as any red-in-tooth-and-claw 19th century railway baron.
P2P is fine, so long as you know it's NOT FSA guaranteed. Diversification is key. Wellesley gives a very low rate for commercial bridging loans mind, ~ 7% whereas you should be able to get 12%+ on stuff like that. Whether their target market of pensioners watching daytime TV realises this is another matter.
A vote for Khan is a vote for massive increases in Council tax precept - 153% under Ken, and Unions with an office in City hall. That's what Khan has said. We will be goners. Vote blue for a boring life at least.
I'm not voting for the least worst option. If you are not in favour of Heathrow expansion and Uber, then - as far as I am concerned - you are not worthy of my vote.
Zac is not anti-Uber. He is pro-choice in cabs. He backs black cabs but it clear that technology will always be a part of the Cab market from now on. Being anti-Heathrow is not anti-busienss. ON teh contrary. Heathrow is a legal monopoly, plus 40% share, it causes pollution (breaks legal limits), congestion and noise. and it wants £7 B from tax payers. Gatwick is not a monopoly, is closer to the City, wants no cash. Zac is likely to freeze council tax. Khan will have to raise it to pay for his pledges.

Mike Smithson @MSmithsonPB ORB online reporting that LEAVE 8% ahead when likelihood to vote taken into account. 1% when it isn't
That's what happens when you run a negative campaign based on fear. (Personally I still haven't decided which way to vote).
Apparently the sky will fall in if we leave! The 1,000 year old city of London will disintegrate. There were no banks at all in UK before UK were in EU! Actually 50,000 bankers claim they will leave. I think that is incentive enough! Vote freedom

Trump will face a difficult month from now till April 19th when N.Y. votes.
He's got more delegates than the 538 numbers suggest. Guam, VI, and Louisiana all have delegates not yet pledged.
A win in Illinois would be sufficient damage limitation for Trump, since Rubio will drop out or become irrelevant thereafter.
You see that absent a Trump victory in Ohio, it will become a race for congressional districts rather than states.
There is enough margin for the anti-Trump's to keep the primary race on forever, morale wise April 26th is the last chance for Trump to win all states that vote on a single day. Kasich is a far more dangerous rival than Rubio for Trump, in places where Cruz can't fight Kasich can, so Trump is in a danger of fighting a 2 front war. Don't forget their battle is to stop Trump, not electing Cruz or Kasich.
Also don't forget, the longer the GOP primary goes on the greater the damage to the GOP short and long term, I have never seen a political party hating it's own voters so much.
Trump: "We had a party that was obsolete. Mitt Romney couldn't run for dog-catcher. I backed McCain and he lost; I backed Romney and he lost. This time we've got to do it ourselves."

I think it will be 55%. I have yet to see much interest in the referendum. Maybe it will pick up closer to the big day.

I think it will be 70%+ and Remain will win clearly as a result. When the campaign starts proper it will be everywhere. I just hope Remain don't get above 60%. If only a 10% swing is needed to change result, it can't be interpreted as settled will of people.

I believe although the border is 2000 miles, for a variety of reasons, they only need to build for half that.
They've already built a fence for a third of the length of the border. It's odd that Trump is seen as a loon for proposing to do the same thing, but more thoroughly.
He's doing great mind-games with temporal shifts, talking as if he already is the President, and taking the audience into his confidence about what he would do/is doing.

Yeah, that is pretty loony. He'd have done better to say he'd finance it by taxing speaking fees paid by Goldman Sachs.
Well 2 1000pi day cycles since the formation of the Euro on 1st January 1999 passed today. And it does seem remarkably that the US dollar is putting some foundation waves in to move higher right on track. And its also pi day to boot - 3/14 (14th March). The real turning point is I think that investors will finally being to lose faith that ever lower interest rates are going to revive the global economy. Not before time.........but irreparable damage has already been done to many pension schemes as a result. And Mr Osborne's plan to reward the poor saving is a classic Brownian response to a perceived problem - if he had any sense he would just reduce the tax on savings without any of the nonsense gimmickery which has become a hallmark of Mr Osborne in recent years, just as I suspect it will on Wednesday too.

Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.
All written up by Kris Kobach, so very legal. It is just what national leaders who look after their own country's interests first do. The US has huge clout with countries with big trade surpluses, smart to use that clout.

No market goes in a straight line ever - I'm pleased to see a short term high here. We should start moving lower again this week, but it is still overall a correction. Once capital sniffs out in a big way that it is government that is in big trouble, with retail participation in stocks currently pretty low, the US stockmarket as a whole will move to the upside, to the astonishment of a lot of people. But that shouldn't be a surprise once capital really begins to move out of the sovereign bond market - its all interlinked.
Is tommorow the day George admits he's lost the £20 billion the OBR found down the back of the sofa in November for him. Objectively he's probably a decent bet for next PM I'm not topping up though.
Well that lasted a long time didn't it. The cycle turned down at the start of October last year. It turns up again in January 2020. Its quite clear that the OBR and Mr Osborne were oblivious to that with their £20bn nonsense!
He is anti-Uber and anti-Heathrow expansion. How much more anti-business would you like?
There's nothing anti-business in believing minimum safety standards and pollution limits should be met.
...
I've got no problem with different fare limits and ratios. What I object to is Uber pretending its drivers are not really employees when they limit them from taking fares outside their system....
Yes, Uber in London is just a mini-cab company with a nice app. Uber in othe parts of the world is more ethically dubious.
AirBnB are full on scumbags.
Yes, how utterly despicable to help people rent out their homes.
AirBnB is reliant on facilitating breaking the law to make their living, they encourage it and try to cover up the evidence.
Only a fraction of their business is made from their advertisment-style renting out a room to adventurous travellers. The vast majority of their business comes from whole property lets, mostly from people breaking their lease or zoning laws or both. The state of the liability insurance they offer is also incredibly dubious.
EDIT: I work at the intersection of the tech and travel industry so this isn't some techno-luddite view.
Willing buyer, willing seller. The fundamental principle of the capitalist system.
Indeed.
Tech is helping the consumer overcome the (often restrictive) regulation that vested interests have encouraged lawmakers to pass since WW2.
Don't you think that tech companies are themselves turning into vested interests seeking to get laws passed to help them at the expense of others?
Tech is useful but tech companies - whatever PR guff they come out with - are not altruistic charities. They are in it for themselves and only themselves.
A good point, and of course I expect they are or will be eventually...
But, at the same time, public opinion and the threat of negative publicity matters so much more for tech companies. Pleasing consumers is more important for tech companies than regulation of the wider marketplace.
That said, when it comes to accounting set ups and tax affairs, I'm not sure the consumer is that interested. Maybe he will prove to be in the long term...
Perhaps such issues will become more nationalistic in an age of globalisation?
I'm looking at the 538 delegate tracker to see how losing Ohio impacts Trump.

So he will start to fall behind his targets for 1237 delegates, and that will only grow for the next month since he won't win any delegates from Utah, Colorado and N.Dakota. By April 16th Trump will be around 60 delegates short of his targets for a majority, he will need to make up that difference by winning almost all congressional districts in N.Y and Pennsylvania.
Failing that, his next chance will the last primary on June 7th in California, last poll there has Trump leading by 16:

Most of the GOP is beginning to coalesce around Trump, don't allow the talking heads to distract from that. Trump's favourables, polling numbers and acceptance of his eventual nomination continue to rise. He has a fair number of endorsements now too.
Besides Trump will win Arizona and get a few delegates in Utah, not everyone there is Mormon, before NY. NY I expect him to get well over 50% and likely plus 60%.
Would a huge announcement being that he wasn't endorsing Trump ;-) ....Regardless of what side you are on, I hope they keep him away from doing the weird art house stuff...

Yep. The status quo has mostly lukewarm support, reducing its influence. Is it enough? Coukd be, I hope
Really ? I thought ICM was supposed to be the Gold Standard!
ICM Phone is the Gold Standard. Was this Phone or Online?
I believe that Guardian ICM are normally phone polls.
Why are they not doing Euro referendum supplementaries then? It's irritating that we've got only online ICM for that rather than a phone poll, even if it is rogue.

Kasich is a far more dangerous rival than Rubio for Trump, in places where Cruz can't fight Kasich can, so Trump is in a danger of fighting a 2 front war.
Don't forget their battle is to stop Trump, not electing Cruz or Kasich.
Also don't forget, the longer the GOP primary goes on the greater the damage to the GOP short and long term, I have never seen a political party hating it's own voters so much.
Flattering the voters never hurts.
Sounds quite low to me.
Poet Trump "The snake !"

People can't believe there has ever been a politician like this in the history of the world.
Well almost.
It will be higher than the AV one but lower than the GE.
Goodnight.
Well 2 1000pi day cycles since the formation of the Euro on 1st January 1999 passed today. And it does seem remarkably that the US dollar is putting some foundation waves in to move higher right on track. And its also pi day to boot - 3/14 (14th March). The real turning point is I think that investors will finally being to lose faith that ever lower interest rates are going to revive the global economy. Not before time.........but irreparable damage has already been done to many pension schemes as a result. And Mr Osborne's plan to reward the poor saving is a classic Brownian response to a perceived problem - if he had any sense he would just reduce the tax on savings without any of the nonsense gimmickery which has become a hallmark of Mr Osborne in recent years, just as I suspect it will on Wednesday too.
Happy pi day everyone!
Objectively he's probably a decent bet for next PM I'm not topping up though.
All written up by Kris Kobach, so very legal. It is just what national leaders who look after their own country's interests first do. The US has huge clout with countries with big trade surpluses, smart to use that clout.
Good night all.
But, at the same time, public opinion and the threat of negative publicity matters so much more for tech companies. Pleasing consumers is more important for tech companies than regulation of the wider marketplace.
That said, when it comes to accounting set ups and tax affairs, I'm not sure the consumer is that interested. Maybe he will prove to be in the long term...
Perhaps such issues will become more nationalistic in an age of globalisation?

Besides Trump will win Arizona and get a few delegates in Utah, not everyone there is Mormon, before NY. NY I expect him to get well over 50% and likely plus 60%.

The Guardian is morphing into the Mail with details of Tony Blair's property portfolio.
I posted this before but it seems it need's repeating for some PC clown's -
When you get your windows smashed in with a red house bricks and your called white bast*rds,that's racism and this happened to me and my family.
