Well the numbers are getting closer 155-143 now.rcs1000 said:
The total is only 312 out of 350. So there are 38 provinces without predictions - mostly from big munacipalities, which is why Podemos and C are so low.Speedy said:
With 155 it's not a government, the numbers needed for a majority is 176.rcs1000 said:

tyson likes Tyson shock!tyson said:I'm going to come out of the closet big time here- I really like Tyson Fury, I like Donald Trump, I like Boris Johnson and I even like Nigel Farage and Paul Nuttall. I also liked George Dubya Bush. As a pretty full on Man City fan I always liked Alex Ferguson and Gary Neville particularly, I like Morihno, I like Liverpool Football Club. That's it. my conscience is clear of all my contradictions.

I anticipated that you were going to bring up Corbyn and make the completely bogus comparison .....having lived in America for 25 years in 9 different states I actually know the Yanks ....Trump is about as far away from the Gandhi-like Corbyn as you could possibly get and the GOP are light years from the Left dominated Labour Party ...Corbyn is a career politician while Trump is a Real Estate tycoon and TV star with virtually no experience in politics ....he is treating his gormless political supporters like the crowd from a WWF event...many of these folks are very unlikely to actually vote !
Anyone viewing this GOP race through the lens of the former LP leadership race are completely deluding themselves and couldn't be more wrong ...the Yanks , especially the GOP are pragmatic and can be ruthlessly ambitious ; they are great problem solvers who will find a way around a problem like Trump ...they will never let this egotistical creep usurp their Party , NEVER !...even if they have to bribe him, they will get rid of him
Did you notice how comradely and gentle that Burnham , Cooper and Liz were to Corbyn , even when they suspected he was going to win ?.....the GOP are never going to be that gentle with Trump ! They are going to produce PAC attack adds to humiliate and crucify Trump until he becomes a laughing stock and gets the hell out of the race
To draw a parallel between the election of a Labour leader and a Republican leader , between the Labour Party base and the GOP base couldn't be more mistaken ; the GOP race and Labour Party race is completely different

Hillary is the Democrats Nixon, she may well end up lucky in her opponents, just as Nixon probably would have lost to Bobby Kennedy in 1968 had he faced him rather than Hubert Humphrey and then George McGovern, so Hillary is lucky in that she may face Trump and Cruz rather than Rubio. 8 years earlier facing the charismatic and likeable JFK Nixon was narrowly beaten, just as in 2008 Hillary lost to the more likeable and charismatic ObamaHurstLlama said:

After Hillary who? Is it a bit early to speculate about 2024?Speedy said:
Indeed, just think after Hillary who?Alistair said:
Ah I get what you are saying, I misunderstood your previous post.Speedy said:
But there was no one else that could realistically have won the nomination or the election in 1988, same position with Hillary and Obama today.Alistair said:
Err Bush Snr won easily after Regan.Speedy said:
Well the democrats don't have anyone else that can run for president, it's Hillary or bust for them.HurstLlama said:
If that is true then how do explain Hilary Clinton?Cromwell said:
...
In the age of TV politics , appearance and ''likability '' is crucial
They are well short of senators and governors that can have national appeal, it doesn't help that all the cameras are on Obama when someone needs to talk about the democrats, the republicans had the same problem after 8 years of Reagan and 8 years of Bush Jr.
You see when your party gets the presidency then all the lights fall on the president and no one else within your party.
Sooner or later you run out of people who can be credible or known nationally.
That's why in 1992 the only alternative to Bush with the party that held the White house was Buchanan, while the democrats had half a dozen credible candidates.
In 2000 there was no alternative to Gore, in 2008 there was no alternative but McCain who ran in 2000, and today they have no alternative but Hillary.
The party that holds the white house always stifles all the other prominent figures except the President and the VP.
Bernie Sanders will be too old to run next time and there is no one else, expect perhaps Hillary's VP (though that's a little early to say).
In contrast after Trump or Cruz, the republicans still have a lot of potential candidates who are both credible and well known.
I find it a bit laughable that you think it is oh so relaxed (relatively) for the Republicans. If I lived in the USA I would vote Republican, but they are stuffed as long as the Tea Party are riding shotgun.0 -

Well things are settling down with 2/3 rds of the vote counted in Spain.
No victor but one sure loser (the pro-european liberal C's).
And no government either, so a second election seems possible in case the catalan and basque nationalists aren't on board.
Kudos to the pollsters who got it right this time.

Sinfield would have been a good choice - would have been like when Giggs won - basically a "career award".
Say Gerrard had been nominated - he would have had a good chance.
It's a bit silly really because half the nominations went to people that 99% of the public wouldn't have even heard of - ie "worthy" people in "Olympic" sports that nobody cares about. Hence why they were all 1000 on Betfair.0 -
