If Lab is now going to set policy by a vote of all those eligible to vote for the leader it must be very likely they will endorse the Corbyn agenda - ie:
- Scrap Trident - No welfare cap
Leaving NATO may be a closer run thing but 60:40 they go for it.
If the potential Con vote maxes out in the low 40s, and Labour are going to pursue a 20% strategy, it really is quite difficult to work out where the rest of the votes end up!
Evening all. I think people will just not bother voting. I can't see Corbyn breaking 30% in the election. Having said that, I can at least bail out of the UK if the worst happens .
I could see a Corbin labour party getting may be 25% of the vote. There is scope for a growth of one of the other parties, UKIP, LD or Green, or maybe something non of us have herd of yet. However we are still left with the fact that FPTP is very hard for 3rd parties.
Wales win, England now have to beat Australia next weekend or go out. Well done to the boyos though!
Game turned on a penalty for Wales for a not very late tackle on their 10 yd line. Very foolish and needless challenge. Doubly bad as England would have got the ball from their own throw in otherwise. Wales needlessly gained 40 yds and possession.
Shocking last 15 from England. Terrible substitutions. Burgess and Farrell should have been left well alone. And that's not the first time Robshaw has made the wrong penalty call at the death.
Excellent from Wales though. They deserved it.
It didn't work, but it wasn't the wrong call.
The mistake was kicking from 5m out up by 4 points with Wales really on the back foot. A try then would have killed the game.
The substitutions were awful. Still, onwards and upwards.

Indeed, plus a stupid England decision to go for a try and not a penalty kick
His speeches when he first stood were the best since Kennedy. Technically brilliant. Beautiful balanced sentences, soaring rhetoric and a genuine engagement with ideas. "Ok" as President strikes me as pretty seriously generous.
Obama has begun the path to socialised medicine in the United States, ended the Cuban embargo and might have started proper relations with Iran.
Any one of those would be a hugely successful president.
The best claim Kennedy has was he focused the space programme on the moon landings (which they actually were already focused on). He never really achieved anything else.
Well done to Lizzie Armistead! Cracking result to become World Champion.
Plus she has a couple of years on Vos who's body seems to be giving out on her. Armistead for gold in Rio looks pretty good right now.
The actual racing was even more impressive than just claiming the rainbow jersey. Superbly done without a decent team to back her up (which is a bit disappointing to be honest, GB should have at least as strong a team as the Dutch, something is going wrong with the women's Road Race set up).
'This politician may or may not be President of the United States someday… but he’s already yapping behind the scenes about his rather interesting choice for Vice President! Since he is male, he wants to appeal to female voters by choosing a female running mate. To that end, he is already talking to a woman whose family name is certainly one of the most famous in political history. The only trouble is… she’s never actually DONE anything! She’s never won an election of any kind, and it would be easy to argue that any job she has gotten came from trading in on her family name. Would that family name really be enough to sway voters to their ticket?' http://blindgossip.com/?p=73951
Very annoyed about the substitutions, especially the Burgess one. But that was some performance by the Welsh.
At least Spurs won.
Just shows: never rely on posh boys :-)
Leaving aside that none of them were posh, the substitutions for no good reason were strange. But England were the ones who gave away the needless penalties. I rarely bother watching RU but since its wall to will on Saturday I've been giving it a go. Its still slow and rewards goal kicks too much. Strangely I've just had a frisson of deja vu as I watch the News.
Sport is strange. United pilloried for paying record sum for 19 year old and they've rocketed up to top of table since, whilst City slump.
If you spent your time watching the rugby, you missed much better sport.
Lizzie Armistead winning the World Road Race was just amazing.
Agreed. With 20km to go I thought the peloton had blown it. Awesome last few KM's to bring it back together then she monstored the sprint.
The way she pushed it on the hill, then managed to conserve enough energy when she couldn't pull away and ride a tactically perfect last 700m was just awesome.
Vos is gonna be a little bit doubtful for Rio and I doubt she's ever had a doubt before in her career.

If Biden wants a woman VP choice to electrify the race, he would choose Elizabeth Warren.

I was amazed how the breakaway didn't hold the gap. Goes to show how different the men's race is, imo that would have been done and dusted.

That has been suggested in the past, but this item suggests he is trying for some Kennedy stardust

The main difference is in the lack of depth, the chances are quite a few of those in the break weren't of the same level as the rest and were pretty much spent just staying in the stream (clearly the Dutch thought that of their rider as they led the chase).
It will be a good few years (possible a couple of decades) till womens racing gets the same sort of depth. A top female endurance athlete has better options (predominantly Triathlon) which pay better and get better exposure.
I wouldn't be surprised if Emma Pooley makes more money from the two or three years she gets at the top of distance Triathlon as she's ever made from cycling.

It's perhaps reasonable to consider that the Ahmadiyya are to Islam roughly what some of the borderline sects - Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons for example - are to Christianity. There is a sufficient alteration to doctrine to render them semi-detached.
That can then be leveraged to render them enemies, such as being defined as 'not Muslim' in the Pakistani Constitution by the Zia Ul-Hag regime.

Your choice could be open to question
He indulges in nepotism
