Rubio on TV today urging his supporters in Ohio to vote for Kasich.
If Kasich asks his voters in Florida to vote for Rubio then the calculation would be that Trump arrives at the convention with fewer than 1237 delegates, and after the first vote the negotiating can begin and Trump might be stopped.
It's desperate stuff and if the brokered convention is perceived as a fix then it could shatter the Republican party.
It would also hand the White House to the democrats.0 -

Thanks for the civilised EU chat everyone. Having begun to think about the issues in a way I didn't think I would I have become a pretty convinced Remainer; something I wasn't anticipating a few weeks back. However, I am glad to be exposed to the Leave views on here too. I can see where you are all coming from, but I just can't get past the idea we are potentially going to have to give up a lot for not that much. EEA/EFTA is a Leave option I could live with, but going beyond that looks very risky to me. That does not make me a timorous feartie - I am all in favour of measured risk and have benefited from it on many occasions - but I guess it does make me cautious. There are so many opportunities out there as things stand.0

Mr Shuker raised his concerns in response to claims made by the charity Muslim Women's Network UK (MWN UK) concerning the "blocking" of vocal, independent Muslim women by male members of the Labour Party who are of Pakistani heritage.
MWN UK has called for an inquiry by the party into "systematic misogyny" within Labour.

I've often been despairing of the way UK politicians carbon copy whatever goes on in the US but I have to say that this time it might be somewhat beneficial. Assuming it's Hillary, what sort of campaign will she run? If I was one of the Labour moderates I'd be looking very carefully about how she tries to get the Sanders people on board. I'm not sure they'll be satisfied with 'I'm not Trump.' The Tories will also have to look at Trump's success with blue collar Republicans and ask themselves what their future is post-Cameron or indeed if they are at risk of similar splits.0

On to Chicago tonight. Trump rally at the University, no less...
Could get "interesting".
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/03/11/donald-trump-plans-rally-in-democratic-stronghold-of-chicago/
'The rally will be held in the southern part of downtown Chicago in an area where the demographics of the city begin to shift away from the more affluent, white population found in “The Loop” or the city’s financial heart. The area becomes more African American and Latino radiating outward from downtown.'0 -
Rubio appears to be in serious trouble in Florida. He's hardly ever there since he became a US Senator, he misses many political events there, and his approval ratings are very bad. The mayor of Tampa, a major Floridian city, has never met him.EPG said:

The thing is unlike UK stories that the likes of the BBC turn a blind eye to because it is in the Mail, these stories are just the Mail reporting what local newspapers (often not the local equivalent of the Mail) are reporting. Der Spiegel for instance.AndyJS said:

A full hijab would probably increase safety, but I suppose many would regard that as a bit of a holiday dampener.MP_SE said:

I suspect that the white, Christian people in Italy are no more or less likely to attack women than the brown, Muslim people in Germany. Unfortunately, violence against women by white men is common and banal, while violence by brown Muslims is newsworthy because it panders to the prejudices of white menMP_SE said:

When they run stories about Muslim men committing assaults and violence against women, there's questions about why the Islamofascist BBC isn't devoting a full 120-minute hate every day to the topic
When they run stories about white men committing assaults and violence against women, it's endless moaning about how the statistics are wrong and Feminazis think all men are rapists0 -
