Well - you could at least look like you were seriously trying.
The forces of enlightenment deal another blow to the flat earth faction.

Evidently, Cotten was the sole person responsible for transferring QuadrigaCX funds between the company’s “cold wallet” — secure, offline storage — and its “hot wallet” or online server, according to court documents. Very little cryptocurrency was stored in the hot wallet for security purposes. Cotten’s laptop was encrypted, and his widow, Jennifer Robertson, and the expert she hired have been unable to access any of its contents. The company had no corporate bank accounts and used third-party services to manage payments and withdrawals....
More likely, the votes he’s expecting to be bestowed on Tories by those grateful his govt did what it was told will in fact be scattered to the four corners. I’m not seeing a Tory gain in Sunderland, for example.
No toilet paper? Blame Brussels.
Still isn't a verb though.
Or maybe Romney might be tempted again?
The 'FU' factor.
Then the inquiries, indictments and recriminations start.
A shedload of shady stuff comes out. Nixon plus plus plus.
You are the only non-enabler standing amidst the smoking rubble of the GOP.
With the bonus of a sliver of respect across the aisle.
It's a gamble to be sure.
Possibly.
Still, if Labour wants to avoid that, it could achieve it tomorrow. Vote for the deal or even abstain, we have an orderly transition out. Don't, and we have a crash exit.
Harris is rightly favourite, but I can’t decide if the odds are a little too short at this point.
A way, way to go yet.

I wonder about Lindsay Graham, too. Though he’s not on the Betfair list.
Utterly unprincipled, but an opportunist and a survivor.
As one example.
(Had an American boss once who claimed to love grits. Never having been out of the nice bits of California, he had derision heaped upon him.
He also claimed to have been in the US Marines - but had never heard of Iwo Jima....)
Isn't that the battle Mark Francois father fought in order to stop the Holy Roman Empire from taking over English Calais?
Or something like that...
I’d be surprised if it has much in common with the AOC contest.
If you were an ambitious Republican why wouldn't you have a go?
I can see someone havng a go just for the reasons @dixiedean has outlined.
So you need a former governor with a record, but also enough presence and feistiness not to look cowed. Someone who can work across party lines and get things done... but ANGRILY.
We should be told :-) .
.................
In the United States, other types can be differentiated:
Closed primary. People may vote in a party's primary only if they are registered members of that party prior to election day.
..................
This is what he means by primary I assume. Voters would of course still be able to pick Chris Leslie (assuming he stands) even if Labour members decided they wanted a different candidate.
I was asking what he actually meant by ‘primary’, being genuinely interested in the answer, not for you to justify an apparently tendentious comparison.
Romney has the advantage of his own mone, and has some it before a couple of times; Graham is de facto joint leader of the Senate (even if strictly nothing of the sort), and ubiquitous in the political media.
Christie is not a major player any longer.

For Romney I think a previous presidential defeat would make it very hard to run against Trump. Why would you replace the guy who won with the guy who lost?
I doubt that’s what Aaron Bastani wants - he simply wants to see sitting Labour MPs replaced with Momemtum supporters via whatever means necessary.
At this time in the last electoral cycle, we were still more than five months away from Donald Trump even entering the race, it’s quite possible that the next president isn’t even on the Betfair market yet.

But Trump is not going anywhere until he’s dragged out; the Republican party has already taken steps to prevent contested primaries in some of the states; some of the threatened stalkning horses (eg Flake) have already cried off; Mueller is going to take his time.
By bet, FWIW, is that any Republican contest, if there is one, will get going very late.
If there isn’t, and Trump goes later into next year, then the positions of Romney and Graham might be even stronger.
I wasn’t certain while reading it that it wasn’t a perverse short story about a fictional central character (I’d not heard of the protagonist despite his being at the top of the US bestseller list).

And I was answering what I thought he meant by primary.
