What happens if Trump wins the national vote share but loses the electoral college? Civil war?0

Sorry. I read that as "two candidate lying twice in a row...." Of course, both Leadsome and Gove were part of the infamous Johnson-Farage team, so perhaps my mistake was understandable.AndyJS said:

A few weeks ago Assange said he had several thousand which hadn't been released to date by thr FBI, suggesting that she had held back things from the enquiry (she submitted the emails on paper!). It also begs the question of how Wikileaks got a copy of her mailbox in the first place - was it an employee of Clinton, or a foreign government?anotherDave said:"Morgan Wright, a noted cybersecurity specialist, told Fox News today that Julian Assange of Wikileaks has claimed he has some of Hillary Clinton’s compromised e-mails and will release them."

This extensive piece on Cameron's disastrous campaign makes it quite clear why Cameron lost the referendum
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/05/how-remain-failed-inside-story-doomed-campaign
He was never serious about the "renegotiation". While he was pretending to "negotiate" with the EU, He and Osborne, and Mandelson and Cooper and Jack Straw's son were busy having cosy meetings setting everything up to keep us "IN"
Thus the "renegotiation" was a complete and utter farce and Cameron was being entirely disingenuous... As we all knew.
The political class took the public for fools and the public struck back. They were hoisted by their own blatant cynicism.
Worryingly it doesn't look like they've even begun to comprehend the lesson the GBP have dished out to them...

I sent my CV in to a professional CV firm the other day, curious to see what they'd do to it. They changed "Served on the Northern Ireland Select Committee during the period of the peace process" to "Transformed the economy and political system of Northern Ireland".
If that's how people write CVs, Carney can claim to have prevented the mooted collapse of Western civilisation and World War 3.

He could have kept migration controls for 7 years after the major EU expansion but didn't. If that decision hadn't been made we wouldn't have the same cumulative volume of net migration and the perception of it as an issue would be very different.nunu said:GIN1138 said:

She has described her 25 years in financial services and running ‘enormous teams’ as evidence of her suitability for the roles.
Prominent supporter Bernard Jenkin has cited her senior position at ‘a large investment firm where she was responsible for managing hundreds of people and billions of pounds’.
But the Times said that during ten years at the investment fund Invesco Perpetual, from 1999 to 2009, she did not have any role in managing funds or advising clients.

I guess this is where she needs her tax returns to show she was paid squillions during the period in question.

Well quite... If this is what the Mirror is running as an attack piece it tells you something. From what I've seen so far Leadsom will win if she gets to face the party members. She's arguably the only one left in the race still capable of coming across as a normal human being.JennyFreeman said:

The stronger argument is that she doesn't appear to agree with chunks of it.
