It's a tragedy we couldn't pull off Turkish Accession. Assimilating the Acquis would have secured then anchored the world's first Islamic liberal democracy. A glory of the 21st century. But it didn't achieve escape velocity. As the bid has been falling back to earth for years best it's formally ditched. As we've seen it's theoretical existence is too easily abused by populists.
I'm not sure that an Islamic liberal democracy is a possibility; realistically, the two cultural traditions are so contradictory that it's one or the other. Assimilating the Acquis would have meant secularising to an extent that meant that it was no longer meaningfully Islamic.
Not sure I agree with that.
What about a country populated by TSEs and his female equivalents?
There are female equivalents to TSE??
Emily Thornberry
Not nothern enough. I was thinking more Edwina Currie.
Give him some credit: would TSE really tap up Edwina Currie or Emily Thornberry?
He is getting 12% of the black vote in the latest Rasmussen
Seriously @HYUFD .... Rasmussen .... I mean seriously !!!!!!!! ....
They got the 2004 election spot on and Trump led with them yesterday. Trump will do better with the black vote than the 5% Romney got, especially in the privacy of the booth
No chance. Trumps best chance is for the African American and Latino vote to stay home. Very few will vote Republican but stay at homes could deliver him some states.
He is doing better with African Americans than Romney
in one poll. other polls have him at 3-5%. why ignore them
Romney never polled as high as 12% with the African American vote
again. just with one pollster.
The claim was that there was 'absolutely no evidence' of this. If that were so, there would be zero pollsters finding it.
It may not be compelling or accurate evidence, but it is there.
