politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Great (Br)expectations, why Tories don’t want a snap election and the Clinton ’surge’ – this week’s PB/Polling Matters TV Show & Podcast
This week Kieran Pedley and his guests, Rob Vance and Matt Singh, on the PB/Polling Matters TV Show & Podcast focus mostly on the Tories and the big issue that looks set to determine whether TMay is successful – the BREXIT negotiations. The polling suggests that people are expecting a lot and is the new PM going to have to disappoint?

Amber Rudd is coming to town
I always said that the White House is a Bridge Too Far for Trump :
(great overture, shame that Trump doesn't use it)

Now, I am not arguing with the Brexit results but why do you want to deny an opposing view it's voice?
Nigel Farage’s former top aide Raheem Kassam has entered the race for UKIP leader, Guido can reveal. A website called MakeUKIPGreatAgain.com has been set up by Kassam’s campaign team.
"UKIP has a positive future in a sovereign Britain, but it won’t happen unless someone with some courage and willpower does something about the internal fractures. I want to Make UKIP Great Again."

I cannot recommend this documentary too highly.
This could result in the end of several illustrious (depending on your viewpoint) media careers, when the facts and the commentary are irreconcilable.
The only reason Hillary is winning is because her opponent is Trump, if Trump where to go out of the picture Hillary would automatically lose.
People are voting against Trump, remember ?
The only winning move for Trump is not to play, and resign.
What's that all about - I've missed the point of it
TMA would seem as good
Okay, so far, so predictable.
A horde of PutinBots have descended on the comments pushing their pet conspiracy theories. The USA destroyed the convoy using Predator drones in order to discredit Russia, for instance... and not only is it funding and supporting Al Qaeda and ISIS, but the "White Helmet" relief workers in Aleppo are actually covert Al Qaeda terrorists under US control. Etc.
What's the point of paying a whole bunch of political spammers (presumably fairly expensive ones, given their English language skills and necessary knowledge of current events and international relations) to descend on the comments section of the Indy??
It's not particularly well-read. It isn't as if loads of people read down to the comments section. Whose opinion are they trying to influence? Do they think they'll be believed? (My guess is they are just trying to muddy the waters, presenting a counter-narrative, sowing doubt.) Who signed this all off as an effective use of (Russian) taxpayers' money, at a time when their government resources are becoming more limited?
(I presume they are paid-up and centrally controlled. If not, there are more gullible people out there than I thought.)
I'm sure there are higher impact places for them to troll - for example leading political blogs. Have we had much of a problem with them here?
Spain has invited Britain to share sovereignty of Gibraltar, in a move which would allow the territory to remain in the European Union.
But Gibraltar's chief minister has rejected the proposal, saying the answer is "no way, Jose."

i) The surname of our (unelected) Prime Minister
ii) A modal verb
iii) A month
So you can imagine the confusion of the headline 'Theresa May may call a May election'
We were assured that Brexit was the thin end of the wedge, that the liberal establishment was doomed, that the socially conservative anti-immigration white working class was in the ascendancy, that metropolitan attitudes were under siege.
And so too it seemed, what with May and Rudd and all.
The Trump rampers (Moniker Di Canio, RodCrosby, Plato etc etc etc) assured us a victory for the Donald was a natural progression, that it would follow Brexit as sure as night follows day.
If Hillary, liberal New Yorker globalist Hillary, pulls this off, it will upset the narrative just a little, I dare say.
All the Democrats Christmases would have come at once - they could paint the GOP as a party of farcical incompetents, and the judgement of every GOP candidate who supported Trump from Pence down to whoever's running for county dogcatcher as irredeemably flawed. In such a scenario Clinton doesn't just win the Presidency, the Dems get the Senate, House and a bunch of state legislatures and governorships too.
Sunbets ?

Will they extend the offer to London?
"Tell me more, señor."
REMAIN 48%
Ouch.
Does OGH have a sister call Em and wanted to avoid confusing Ed with her?
She is going to walk 2020. Labour will be sub 20% in a poll before then, surely?
If Trump falls in front of a bus then I think Pence gets the gig.
Imo the only possible next presidents are Clinton, Trump, Pence, Kaine, Johnson - probably in that order.
I trolled TSE about being a TINO on the previous thread
