Can’t understand why anyone would believe Fake News Facebook.
Sad.
Bush v Gore was bad for punters
Very informative thread. I had no idea God was registered to vote in Alabama.

An Egyptian pop singer has been sentenced to two years in prison for "inciting debauchery" after a music video showing her suggestively eating a banana was ruled to be too sexually explicit.
He’s the epitome of a sore loser.
I really regret subscribing to a sadomasochistic text chat service.
I replied STOP, so they sent even more.
Google eventually dropped it. Thank Christ.
Personally I'd accept the amendment. They won't get credit for it, but it saves a defeat and at worst the intent is mischievous, and at best as noble as you've suggested. Same reason I was glad of the outcome of the A50 case.

At this rate, it will be just Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders left by 2021.
Of course, proponents of divine providence usually point to their success as proof of God's favour, not their defeats. As I recall Charles I refusing to accept gods will that he had lost angered many, if we take people's words at face value.

What's Duterte up to these days?
What this is instead about is the Republicans trying to delay Jones taking his seat as long as possible, for the sake of skewing the arithmetic in the Senate for another couple of months.

Of course, if you are convicted whilst sitting and sent down then other rules apply!
If it passes there are two options.
One is that we crash out without a deal, as whatever the deal, the die-hard remain MPs will never agree with it.
Surely no one wants that?
Unless we go back to the EU and say "We can't get it through Parliament, so can we modify it as Parliament wants, which according to underpants man, will be no FOM, overseeing by the EU courts and full payments to you for membership of the common market and customs union." In other words ...Remain.
Ah, I see it now. The Labour party can blame the rebel Tories for reneging on the referendum result, or else muddy the waters a lot. Not very cunning but very transparent.
There will be no second option.
Not sure if any other seats are unresolved once Williams announce their line up.
usual suspects are outraged at attack on TMerkel

Indeed only 1 and 6 could potentially have had more blue voters from 7. 5 and 3 would stay red either way.
A minority government will not be able to determine the form of Brexit without winning the agreement of MPs. It seems pretty clear that MPs won’t vote to overturn the referendum result but beyond that all possible forms (that were argued for by various Leavers) including EEA membership, customs union membership, CETA or WTO are legitimate endpoints.
A majority government that can whip its MPs successfully will be able to determine those terms.
A victory obtained by traditional voting practices?
The Remainers have a majority in Parliament. They will use it to water down the UK Leave demands as much as possible and the EU will obviously be happy with the result.
A legitimate question. What then was the point of the referendum if the voters can be ignored?
I daresay Williams can straighten that out, though.
Mr. Topping, I referred specifically to migration. Or do you think Merkel throwing open the borders of her country to let in anyone who turned up was a wise decision?
I would have thought that anyone who believes that the majority in the referendum actually voted for something different to what was stated on the paper should be pushing for a second referendum to seek clarification unless they are happy for the voters’ representatives in Parliament to do the job.
Ukip to face tribunal over use of data in EU referendum campaign
Information commissioner announces inquiry into parties’ use of personal information after Ukip’s refusal to cooperate

Edited extra bit: Mr. Topping, I fear the near future will prove your assessment to be severely wrong.
Merkel has failed, utterly, and the AFD winning 94 seats is symptomatic of that. Yet still Merkel won't budge, and the AFD are, of course, too right wing to do business with.
So you get a situation where the Germans will carry on sticking their fingers in their ears and going la la la, I'm not listening to you, which will mean the far right will continue to grow.
Contrast and compare that to GE2015 and GE2017, where UKIP won 12.6%, forced a referendum, then condemned themselves to irrelevance (1.8%) at GE2017 - effectively neutering the British "far" right.
For all its flaws, the British electoral system isn't half bad.
European history has given its cultures good reason to fear the rule of the mob, but in Britain revolution has largely taken place peacefully at the ballot box, with once mightly leaders humbled and brought to heel.
It is this difference between the UK and the rest of the EU states that makes our democratic cultures so fundamentally incompatible.
I want MPs to vote on the final deal. But the idea that, realistically, the choice will be anything but 'The Deal' or 'No Deal' is pretty fanciful.
Mr. Tyndall, any chance that MPs will try and make the choice between the deal or status quo (ie remaining)?
Anyway, I've got to go now.
It is the clearest example of the democratic deficit at the heart of the EU I can think of - that one country's leader can unilaterally impose a policy that has such a profound, dramatic and destabilising effect on every other country, without the citizens of that country having recourse to reject that leader at the ballot box.
And that is what makes her a moron.
You think the UK is without its extreme Jihadist element?
