What's the largest anti-Govt majority ever in the House of Lords? He's really going to need to scrape the barrel to find enough people to pack the Lords to overturn that one.
Yes, that's a whopper. Doesn't help that Biden's election makes Boris look even more idiotic for coming up with the stuff to start with.
Despite controlling the majority of the districting, and being in government in the majority of states. And with a sitting president.
What is wrong with these people ?
Of course, that means 30% do.
In other words, more than 20 million Republicans believe the result is fair.
Yes (unless there's a bunch of don't knows, which I'd have thought there must be). The attempt by the two Republican candidates for the special elections in Georgia to unseat the Republican Secretary of State is weird, though. In no election that I've ever seen do candidates go out of their way to assail their own side.
Particularly when they have no apparent power to do so –– Georgia elects its secretary of state so he is put in power by citizens, not senators.
2020 is shaping up to be an interesting year, isn't it? And not in a good way. The most astonishing in a series of most astonishing things is that we are discussing, quite seriously, the possibility of a coup d'état in the United States. Just step back and think about that.
I think that such talk fundamentally misunderstands the character of most normal Americans including the vast majority of those who vote for Trump. They will fight tooth and nail to get their candidate elected but, barring a few lunatics who are sadly present in every society, practically every one of them will accept the result and get behind the President even if they don't particularly like the man wearing the suit. Talks of coups are fanciful and idiotic.
I agree, but nonetheless it is a fact that a disturbing number of Republicans are refusing to accept the result of a perfectly fair election. Never in my lifetime have I seen anything like that.
Why go through all this if you're NOT going to coup at the end of it. Strategically the GOP is likely creating a whole bunch of "Never going to vote again" voters with these tactics. It's either a coup or a blunder.
I think it is well established some figures around Trump are not rational actors. Were they, they would have advised Trump to concede gracefully, pivot to basking in vaccine-reflected valedictory glory, and set up Ivanka for a very winnable 2024 run.

I don't think there's much of a strategy at all, except to keep ramping up the rhetoric. If somehow it ends up in some sort of ridiculous "coup" attempt it will because they've boxed themselves into it being the only remaining course of action.
Why were Republican legislatures so keen on counting mail in votes last? Why did Trump tell people not to vote by mail (which ironically might have cost him the "fair" election)?
Those two actions look very much like part of a plan to me.
A wise country and establishment would listen to him far more than we do.
His dishonesty is one of the reasons we got to the point where we chose to leave. He vies with May and Heath for the title of worst Tory leader in history.
Rubbish. Sir John's reputation is soaring; it is the reputations of those who orchestrated Brexit that are in terminal decline.
"Orchestrated" sounds planned. What we're looking at right now is less the result of orchestration, and more the result of egestion.
There aren't as many ballots to come as you think: most of the remaining are provisional.
If feels like people have been saying that for about a year 😆
Don’t get me wrong, I am on board. Even if you want to say it will be less than 3% now. Maybe Latino/Latina vote has been taken for granted there?
In an odd sort of way, how Fox called it, if Arizona goes to Trump, he’ll be proper cross at the whole network, whilst if the decision desk gets a big win from here, that could boost them within fox?
Didn't see that coming. Quite statesmanlike on the face of it. I don't know enough about the dispute to take sides, but that's a lot better than the first-to-the-last-man stuff.
On the face of it that’s a big win for Turkey. Will that embolden them, as such things tend to do to everyone?
