3% think Cameron is left wing, 7% that Farage is left wing, 8% Blair is left wing.
Given the number of Hard right Tories who thought Cameron was a LD, I'm a little surprised it is only 3% who think that.
Even I think Cameron is a Liberal, but the public seems to think he is more right wing that either May or Farage.
Which is also weird, as I'm sure I've read pieces suggesting Cameron is indeed pretty right wing, but the reason he was successful (prior to EU) was in general people regarded as pretty centrist and benign despite being pretty right wing.
I think the public and commentariat are all very confused.
We know one thing.... he wasn't neutral!
For shame - and yet people said over and over he had no strong feelings on anything.
It's too late now to take Clinton off the ballot. It may be different if she actually dies (I'm not sure) but if she is simply ill she would delegate her duties (on the campaign trail and in office if elected) as usual.
Yeah, too late to remove her name from the ballot.
What would happen I believe is she'd say if she won in November, she'd be inaugurated in January, but resign immediately and be replaced by Tim Kaine,
That would upset lots of people with bets on Kaine. Time to make to make sure of laying Trump rather than backing Hillary, just in case.
If Hillary goes sick, it will be a landslide for the Dems against Trump.
Oh, and Eid Mubarak
Thanks. We're celebrating it tomorrow. So glad it isn't today.
I just know Trump and Farage would be saying 'look at all those Muslims celebrating on the anniversary of 9/11'
Ha, we're just starting now in the sandpit - think I'll stay in for the next couple of days, rather than venture outside into the chaos that usually happens.
Did you go to New Anfield yesterday? The new TV camera view from the top of the stand is going to take a bit of getting used to!
I was there. Up in the clouds. The view was rather good.
The acoustics are really good.
If only David Moores and Rick Parry had gone down this route back in 2003.
Cool, glad you got a good view to see us beat the champions!
A trip there is on the list for next visit to the UK - at least the extra seats mean it's only bloody difficult rather than nigh on impossible to get a ticket!
And yes, they should have done it years ago, they've been losing millions a year in revenues to the competition for too long.
It also led to Hicks and Gillett taking over. Apparently the prawn sandwich brigade tickets are available. Only £129 for tickets and a three course meal.
In 80 Degree heat...if it was the usual NY summer temp / humidity, I reckon they could probably spin it. I've been in NYC when it was 100+ and it is not nice. But a nothing day in NY, looks very bad.
I was going to say titter, but this time I think 'tit' will do.
Ok, what is his game? I know the membership is pro_EU, but he's made that position clear, and while if he wins he can always roll back once May declares article 50 as it being too late to do anything to prevent Brexit, do too much talking about joining the Euro and so on will surely lead to harm in many strong Labour/Brexit areas.
Her age need not be a concern, we know plenty of people that age could do that job, but if there were even in secret any doubts about her ability to physically cope don't the Dermocrats have the equivalent of men in grey suits to prevent someone becoming the candidate?

And remember this was mid morning. 9.00am - 10.00am.
A clever move for Owen. He's read Animal Farm and has decided to be decisive. After all, Napoleon saw off Snowball and Stalin died in his bed (or was it a settee?) while Trotsky didn't.
Well, I didn’t see her faint, but Hilary looks seriously unwell in that clip and the people around her know it.
That's why I said it needs zooming in, you can see her collapse just as they drag her in the car.
Haven't yet viewed the vid (don't want to without wifi) but OMG that sounds bad.
It looks bad. Maybe she just had flu and stupidly went to the event anyway. But boy it doesn't look great. Will be interesting to see how the Clintons dig themselves out of this one.
There'll need to be a very large dead cat for Monday morning.
Anybody watched Stranger Things yet? It's got rave reviews, and a fantastic 80's soundtrack (The Clash, Joy Division...) but to me it is a bit weird - a mash-up of The Goonies and Alien....
It doesn't help that it was a black people carrier that looks vaguely like a hearse. She's also extremely stiff in the video which suggests she wasn't unconcious but couldn't move properly. We must hope it's not a second and much more serious embolism/emboli.

Is it just me or does it look very weird she is wearing shades on a day that isn't sunny and nobody else in any photo is...even the secret service aren't.

She got rid of those men. Literally only the Democratic media in collusion with Obama can force her out.
But for that to happen you will need NBC, the Washington Post and the N.Y.Times to really take a dump on her.
They will have to convince her that there is no hope of beating Trump and make her accept that for the good of the country (and to beat Trump) she has to step down.
Odds shortening on all other POTUS candiates on Oddschecker. Tim Kaine in to 66/1 with Ladbrokes. You can still get 200/1 with Coral. Biden's odds have halved in the last hour -too late to get him on the ballot, surely?
Having had bilateral pulmonary embolism I find that video really triggering. I'm a bit freaked to be honest. And of course it's utterly consistent with Flu or Food poisoning or chronic fatigue etc etc. We don't know. I just hope for her sake it's not another blood clot.
Sunny Hundal Breaking: Police say they're arrested 55 people and seized a "significant" number of knives from occupiers who stopped interfaith marriage
"While Mrs. Clinton experienced blood clots in 1998, 2009 and 2012, tests showed that she did not have any underlying disorder that put her at an increased risk of the clots."
But also worth noting that Bill Clinton says his wife's 2012 concussion took six months of "very serious work" for her to get over.
Have the Democrats got themselves a lame-duck nominee?

No one else can get on the ballot that isn't already on the ballot.
The ballot papers have already been printed out, early voting started on Friday.
So no Biden, only Kaine or Pence.
But certainly we are in a situation where it's possible neither Hillary nor Trump are elected.
Which is actually a dream if you where a Washington insider, since voters hate both.
If their hopes where to get rid of either President Hillary or President Trump as soon as possible, well they might get rid of both before they even become president.
All they need to do is force the withdrawal of one of the two and neither of them will win, and right now Hillary looks like the most vulnerable.

Excellent, this confirms my decision to make a small wager on Kaine. Bloody hell, this is one of the most insane political races I have ever seen.
"Hillary's Health Concerns Serious, Say Most Doctors Polled by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)" (article)(data)
Concerns about Hillary Clinton's health are "serious -- could be disqualifying for the position of President of the U.S.," say nearly 71% of 250 physicians responding to an informal internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).
About 20% said concerns were "likely overblown, but should be addressed as by full release of medical records." Only 2.7% responded that they were "just a political attack; I have confidence in the letter from her physician and see no cause for concern." While more than 81% were aware of her history of a concussion, only 59% were aware of the cerebral sinus thrombosis, and 52% of the history of deep venous thrombosis. More than 78% said the health concerns had received "not enough emphasis" in the media, and only 2.7% that there had been "too much emphasis."
It looks like a bit of a voodoo poll (no, Sunil, just walk away from the joke) but interesting nevertheless.

Mr. F, but that is self-identifying. In psychology, people are notoriously bad at self-identifying their own personality.
There's a natural tendency to drift to the middle/centre anyway.
Also, where does it show half of people falling into right wing views and 24% into left wing?
Indeed. I am anti-EU, pro-death penalty, free-trade, anti-islam, pro-gun ownership and I support a return to a hereditaries-only Lords.
I self-identify as Centre. Possibly Centre-Right if you factor in my pro field sports thing too. But I'd have stuck myself in the 45% group.
Anti UK membership of the EU is not a left-wing, right-wing thing. There are people like KLE who is (or was) a LibDem and who voted Out; there are many Labour Leavers (and who ran the best Out campaign around).
Pro death penalty means you have a disturbing degree of confidence in the state to get things right.
Pro free trade is, I think, a very centrist position. Through history, it has tended to be the left and the right who have tended to promote protectionism of one sort or another.
Anti Islam: if you mean you worry about the tolerence of intolerence, than that is centrist. If you mean you don't believe people should be able to believe in whichever God they like, then that is absurd.
Pro gun ownership: well, that's a libertarian thing, presumably.
You are free to carry a gun, but not free to believe Mohammed is a prophet is a curiously intellectually incoherent set of beliefs.

The cruelest comment on that stream is "I've seen this movie before - Weekend at Hillary's"
Well, I didn’t see her faint, but Hilary looks seriously unwell in that clip And the people around her know it.
Didn't see her faint? She looked unconcious. She was propped up on the pillar and having her weight supported by an aide. And then by two aides, she was catatonic.
That video clip blows this election wide open. All pronouncements I have made previously are voided. This is now Trump's to lose.
They need to try and make a strength out of their weakest point which is the footage. " What cover up ? Someone was able to film Hillary close up even when needing assiatence. Right in front of her Secret Service protection. This is a free country and that's how it should be. "

Its hardly surprising. Most people think Hitler was right wing rather than extreme left wing despite the fact that he ran the German nations Socialist Workers Party.
Very interesting figures. No idea on the quality of questioning or accuracy but certainly interesting. No surprise that over 65s are moe right wing but what's curious, particularly given what we know about voting patterns, is how no more young people regard themselves as left wing as do those in their 50s. It's also remarkable how there is an almost even split on the number of people who call themselves left wing or right wing. It's as if people now where they fit on the political map. Except for pensioners. I wonder if left wingers die younger? At least amongst the current over 65s.

I've not moved my position on Hillary and I have a tiny amount on Kaine (albeit with a potentially substantial return). I'll sit any movement out for now.
In reality many ordinary members of the public - who rarely tune into politics at all - have not the slightest idea as to what is meant by 'rightwing' or 'leftwing'.

I agree. It's a good thing that Smith will never be Labour leader.
It is quite amusing that the Labour right have incited a leadership contest and immolated themselves out of rage at Corbyn being off message during the referendum.
Blair would Im sure have been a lib dem if they stood a chance of a majority.
It is ironic that it was the huge labour majority that stopped his plan to merge with the lib dems creating a single centre left party.

I'm not convinced many of the politically aware do either. People could say the same about things like 'socialist', 'liberal' or 'conservative'.

Per pool campaign says Clinton is going home to chappaqua. Reporters are still holding in manhattan. No word on if she saw a doctor
Not only did @HillaryClinton leave her pool at 9:30 am, no information was provided until 90 mins later about where she was
Could be wrong, but if so that is a pretty straightforward explanation.
Pro tip & reality: If you have some physical issue on campaign trail & ditch your press pool, rumor/conspiracies will flourish.
