How many Labour WWC are going to turn out for Remain, outside London?
I think a lot, I've been surprised how many WWC and youthful campaigners in Sheffield Remain have.
Interesting. A few weeks ago there was some nervousness amongst the metropolitan Labour elite that WWC Labour voters outside London might not be motivated to turn out or even tempted to vote leave by the siren calls of UKIP.
Fortunately the unions have weighed in heavily and Corbyn & McDonnell have done a lot to dispel talk that they were only lukewarm about Remain.
I find it amusing when people like Blackburn63 confidently assert there will be "very few" WWC voters backing Remain outside of London. I doubt they they have a clue what campaigning the unions are doing.
Who can forget how well UKIP were going to do in last years' s Oldham by-election?
I am expecting very substantial numbers of WWC Remain voters, particularly in the big cities.
Do you live in London?
No I live in the North-West and I can assure you there are dozens of WWC voters involved in our Remain campaign
It has always been my contention - even when he was still a polling God - that Nate's output is only as good as the input - which includes a huge element of luck as the input's quality is not just whether the data is right, but whether it is the right data. This year, he's been analyzing not just poor data, but the wrong data.
I think Silver has a way overinflated ego. When it comes down to it the presidency is won or lost on a handful of states, but yet people make him out to be some sort of soothsayer.
“It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, but you can lose it in a minute."
The problem for nate is he is now the top bod of a 40 person team looking at all sorts of stuff. From interviews I have heard he now spends a huge amount of his time managing / editing rather than being the baseball stats geek applying similar methods to politics.
I don't think Trump went under Nate's radar, quite the opposite. He owns this fiasco, royally.

In an environment where several polls say it still looks relatively tight nationwide it is dangerous to infer too many conclusions from your peer group, or intelligence from those who agree with you already, or locality, IMHO.

Angela Rippon presents 75: Not Out. As the UK prepares to go to the polls over membership of the EU, BBC Parliament looks back to 5 June 1975 when the British public was asked to vote on being part of the European Economic Community (EEC) in the country’s first ever nationwide referendum.
Legendary BBC newsreader Angela Rippon returns to the story she covered as a young journalist, presenting an evening of programmes from the BBC archives and sharing her memories of the political turmoil of a nation - and a government - divided.
The circumstances sound familiar: A Prime Minister promises to renegotiate the country's terms of European membership and then takes the choice to the people. He makes the unprecedented decision to allow members of his cabinet to campaign to leave, despite his government urging the public to vote yes. But the Prime Minster in question was Harold Wilson, and the year was 1975.
Viewers will be treated to key moments in the 1975 campaign including the tense Panorama head-to-head between Tony Benn and Roy Jenkins and the riotous Oxford Union debate between Barbara Castle, Ted Heath, Jeremy Thorpe and Peter Shore. Newly-crowned Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher pops up in her striking European flag jumper and to give her support to the ‘In’ campaign on Newsday. The night ends with a young David Dimbleby presenting his first national results programme, when 67 percent of British voters said ‘Yes’ to the UK's membership of the European Economic Community (EEC).
Join BBC Parliament on 5 June for 75: Not Out, a trip down memory lane, when no studio was too beige and no collar too large.

Thanks for the heads up. I will set the Tivo box for this one.
Found this snippet from the Dutch pro-EU constitution campaign in 2005. Sound familiar?
"Television broadcasts by the "Yes" campaign provoked controversy for raising the spectre of war and chaos in Europe if the Constitution was rejected. The most emotive of the adverts, which featured emotive images of the Holocaust and Srebrenica Massacre, were never aired by the "Yes" campaign, but received national news coverage and were received very poorly."
Any news on whether Ruth has 'told' Tory-led South Ayrshire Council to rethink their named person policy that they (according to them) have run without problems for the last 5 years?
I think Silver has a way overinflated ego. When it comes down to it the presidency is won or lost on a handful of states, but yet people make him out to be some sort of soothsayer.
Way over inflated ego .. POTUS elections .. Outstanding prior performance .. soothsayer ..

I am expecting very substantial numbers of WWC Remain voters, particularly in the big cities.
I think the Remain ground campaign is stronger and better coordinated than the Leave campaign but it seems to be concentrated in major cities and metropolitan areas, and that won't necessarily be decisive.
Who knows. My gut instinct is that if Remain can get the overall turnout up to 65% they will win comfortably. As it's a national referendum every vote counts and the cities are where turnout is usually lowest, which is why a lot of effort will be focussed there from the Remain camp.

I wonder what the gender ratio isn for the Tory cohort as a whole. If selected entirely based on merit, it should reflect that.
If one holds to the optimistic view that candidates are selected entirely based on merit, it would appear the SCons are pisspoor at attracting talented women to their ranks.
'Yet while the SNP and Labour’s use of quotas has made a difference, the overall figures have stagnated due in large part to an unexpectedly strong Tory performance across Scotland. Only around 19 per cent of Scottish Conservative candidates were women – and one of their regional lists, Highlands and Islands, was men-only. Top list places were also predominantly taken by men – with the party’s North East Scotland list returning four male MSPs, while West Scotland included more candidates named ‘Maurice’ (two, both elected), than it did women (one, in tenth position). The same number of Conservative women were elected as in 2011 – six – but this is set in the context of the party more than doubling its seats, which means that only 19 per cent of Conservative MSPs are women.'

So it is actually the local associations whose book we should be taking a leaf from Saying that, I do agree that more should be done to make being a Tory MSP an attractive prospect for both genders.
Edited to add - I hadn't realised that the SNP used all-women shortlists. That may flatter their position somewhat given the Tories' ideological oppositions such things.

Egyptair VP confirms that wreckage has been found. It is a now officially a search and recovery mission, so it looks like no survivors.
Investigations are being stepped up on who had airside access to the plane at CDG, and also regarding the plane's itinerary in the previous 24 hours.
It came from Tunisia prior to cdg apparently.
It had 4 flights yesterday. Including Southern Egypt, Tunisia, Cairo and up to Paris.
It's amazing how hard these planes work.
They have to financially - it's rare to see a small plane like an A320 on the ground for more than 90-120 minutes between flights, unless it's an overnight stop when the airport's closed.
Few things are more perishable than a passenger seat mile.

He has a genius level IQ.
He built a multi billion dollar company.
He has written bestselling books.
Has had a hit TV show for years.
Has pumped and dumped numerous supermodels.
IOW he is extremely competent*.
It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that he actually understands the problems facing america and he will attempt to impliment sensible policies.
*compare and contrast with Clinton, what has she ever actually achieved apart from marrying an extremely talented politician.
In other news today, Morley Safer has died. He retired last week from CBS, who showed a 1 hour retrospective on his career last weekend. He always said he hated being on TV, found it intimidating, and how unnatural it was to talk to a machine. But the money was good. He joined 60 Minutes in 1970.

65% is GE turnout. Who knows what the referendum turnout will be, but 65% is optimistic I think. In 1975 the turnout was 65%; the Feb '74 election had 78.8%. Low turnout areas are likely to remain low turnout area - it was ever thus.

I have played with one and I quite liked it and could see how it would be attractive for those that just want to do basic tasks (no good for myself), but they don't get a huge amount of coverage, especially in comparison to mac release where all the journos go gooey eyed and write column inch after column inch about it.

Of course it's meaningless. It's a completely silly amendment brought in for no other reason than childishness (although it's amusing enough to see that particular list of signatories pretending to support protectionism for NHS providers).
Quite how some Leavers have got themselves into the contortion of supporting protectionism is a mystery. What on earth do they think the terms of the much-vaunted trade deal with the US which they claim to want would be?

I can't think of any case, not one, where you have accepted that there is any valid argument whatsoever for remaining in the EU. Not one. You call anyone who is mildly in favour, on balance, of staying in a 'Eurofanatic' or a 'Europhile'. You accuse everyone who is unpersuaded of your case of lying.
As I said, it's quite clear who the fanatic is, and it ain't me.
Further to the ISDS claims by War on Want I mentioned earlier. It does seem somewhat insidious in terms of overturning decisions by elected governments.
S.D. Myers v. Canada
Between 1995 and 1997 the Canadian government banned the export of toxic PCB waste, in order to comply with its obligations under the Basel Convention, of which the United States is not a party. Waste treatment company S.D. Myers then sued the Canadian government under NAFTA Chapter 11 for $20 million in damages. The claim was upheld by a NAFTA Tribunal in 2000
Ethyl Corporation v. Canada
In April 1997 the Canadian parliament banned the import and transport of MMT, a gasoline additive, over concerns that it poses a significant public health risk. Ethyl Corporation, the additive's manufacturer, sued the Canadian Government under NAFTA Chapter 11 for $251 million, to cover losses resulting from the "expropriation" of both its MMT production plant and its "good reputation"
Dow AgroSciences v. Canada
On August 25, 2008, Dow AgroSciences LLC, a U.S. corporation, served a Notice of Intent to Submit a Claim to Arbitration under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, for losses allegedly caused by a Quebec ban on the sale and certain uses of lawn pesticides containing the active ingredient 2,4-D.[26] The tribunal issued a consent award as the parties to the dispute reached a settlement.[

My reputation is fine, thank you. I shall continue to express my independent view, as I always do. Being a supporter of a centre-right one-nation PM is hardly fanaticism - the complete opposite, in fact. But your world-view is so skewed that I appreciate you can't get your head around the idea that someone disagreeing with you is not a fanatic, a liar, a stooge, or some sort of secret Europhile plotting a European superstate.

So true....Problem is, Bernie's supporters may well get behind The Donald!
Indeed. I saw a poll suggesting up to 35% of his support in WV will go to Trump. Not that that will make one iota of difference to the make up of the Electoral College.
The thing about Trump, is that he is like a room that only holds one big, red button.
That has DO NOT PRESS on it.
You just desperately want to know what happens if you do press the button/elect him as President....whether intrigued or appalled at the possibility, it is just too tantalising to pass up!
What do we know a bout Trump?
He has a genius level IQ.
He built a multi billion dollar company.
He has written bestselling books.
Has had a hit TV show for years.
Has pumped and dumped numerous supermodels.
IOW he is extremely competent*.
It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that he actually understands the problems facing america and he will attempt to impliment sensible policies.
*compare and contrast with Clinton, what has she ever actually achieved apart from marrying an extremely talented politician.
Hillary was listed as one of the best lawyers of her generation, has a 145 IQ, was twice elected Senator for New York and was Secretary of State. People may dislike them but Trump and Clinton are probably the most experienced and capable candidates to have run for president in years (though Trump inherited much of his wealth so his business success should not be too hyped up)

Hillary is dull as dishwater, whereas Trump has charisma though.
Yep keep telling yourself that. As many have said on here in the recent past your reputation such as it was has been completely destroyed by your Eurofanaticism and continual misrepresentation. No surprise you put a pro-Cameron spin on everything that is said on here.
My reputation is fine, thank you. I shall continue to express my independent view, as I always do. Being a supporter of a centre-right one-nation PM is hardly fanaticism - the complete opposite, in fact. But your world-view is so skewed that I appreciate you can't get your head around the idea that someone disagreeing with you is not a fanatic, a liar, a stooge, or some sort of secret Europhile plotting a European superstate.
You are not independent at all.
There are plenty of people who disagree with me on here and that is to be expected.
What sets you apart is the people you never, ever disagree with which is Cameron and the other Eurofanatics.
It's obviously not their main objective (Neither is Bojo leading the Leave campaign from the blues entirely about the country...), but I'm happy the assorted shits and bastards have used their power to offer a veto over TTIP to the NHS.
They can't veto it. It is by QMV. The best they can do is get a majority of the other countries to support them. That is the only way they can stop it.

Shadow Europe minister apologises to whole VILLAGE after branding a voter 'racist' and saying she would never come back 'to wherever this is'

"Television broadcasts by the "Yes" campaign provoked controversy for raising the spectre of war and chaos in Europe if the Constitution was rejected. The most emotive of the adverts, which featured emotive images of the Holocaust and Srebrenica Massacre, were never aired by the "Yes" campaign, but received national news coverage and were received very poorly."

Investigations are being stepped up on who had airside access to the plane at CDG, and also regarding the plane's itinerary in the previous 24 hours.
'Yet while the SNP and Labour’s use of quotas has made a difference, the overall figures have stagnated due in large part to an unexpectedly strong Tory performance across Scotland. Only around 19 per cent of Scottish Conservative candidates were women – and one of their regional lists, Highlands and Islands, was men-only. Top list places were also predominantly taken by men – with the party’s North East Scotland list returning four male MSPs, while West Scotland included more candidates named ‘Maurice’ (two, both elected), than it did women (one, in tenth position). The same number of Conservative women were elected as in 2011 – six – but this is set in the context of the party more than doubling its seats, which means that only 19 per cent of Conservative MSPs are women.'

I must admit I had not heard about the ISDS mechanism before and think it might bear further investigation.
Edited to add - I hadn't realised that the SNP used all-women shortlists. That may flatter their position somewhat given the Tories' ideological oppositions such things.

Oh er missus ...
Mitt Romney has given up looking for a third party candidate.
Quite how some Leavers have got themselves into the contortion of supporting protectionism is a mystery. What on earth do they think the terms of the much-vaunted trade deal with the US which they claim to want would be?
Why am I not surprised.
I can't think of any case, not one, where you have accepted that there is any valid argument whatsoever for remaining in the EU. Not one. You call anyone who is mildly in favour, on balance, of staying in a 'Eurofanatic' or a 'Europhile'. You accuse everyone who is unpersuaded of your case of lying.
As I said, it's quite clear who the fanatic is, and it ain't me.
S.D. Myers v. Canada
Between 1995 and 1997 the Canadian government banned the export of toxic PCB waste, in order to comply with its obligations under the Basel Convention, of which the United States is not a party. Waste treatment company S.D. Myers then sued the Canadian government under NAFTA Chapter 11 for $20 million in damages. The claim was upheld by a NAFTA Tribunal in 2000
Ethyl Corporation v. Canada
In April 1997 the Canadian parliament banned the import and transport of MMT, a gasoline additive, over concerns that it poses a significant public health risk. Ethyl Corporation, the additive's manufacturer, sued the Canadian Government under NAFTA Chapter 11 for $251 million, to cover losses resulting from the "expropriation" of both its MMT production plant and its "good reputation"
Dow AgroSciences v. Canada
On August 25, 2008, Dow AgroSciences LLC, a U.S. corporation, served a Notice of Intent to Submit a Claim to Arbitration under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, for losses allegedly caused by a Quebec ban on the sale and certain uses of lawn pesticides containing the active ingredient 2,4-D.[26] The tribunal issued a consent award as the parties to the dispute reached a settlement.[
