Re: The latest Makerfield betting – politicalbetting.com
The sense of empty headed assumed entitlement is incredibly strong with very large numbers of drivers. A weird psychology contributes - for some just touching "MY CAR" is as if you had punched them on the nose, as does many years of non-enforcement of the rules of the road, and the rules of the pavement, and politicians… -
Re: New Makerfield poll by Survation gives Burnham a 10% lead – politicalbetting.com
Don't see anything about ability in that article, just comments about who she may or may not 'rattle'. She won a beauty parade against a very, very ugly personality. -
Re: Wes Streeting and No Kings! – politicalbetting.com
It doesn’t need to lift 100x as much all it needs to do is have enough rockets and a quick enough turnaround to undercut anyone else and for people to either wait there turn to save money or pay a premium to skip the Queue. Having said that I still have my doubts! Peter. -

Re: The Biden economy is really hurting Trump – politicalbetting.com
When posters criticise Starmer they will get lots of likes. When posters criticise Farage they will get lots of likes. It is the nature of a political dynamic where 25-28% may be enough to win a majority at the next election, as that means a clear, significant majority are in favour of something else. -

Let's remember this next time you ride your pompous high horse in front of everyone. -
Re: Once again Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership causes a party to split – politicalbetting.com
i'm not fan of Starmer but this is simple misrepresentation. He obviously wasn't commenting on the case until the court had concluded. Since then every news item I've heard about this has started 'PMs reaction'. You're obviously v invested in this particular case and following it closely but you're letting your biases… -

Re: Liberal Democrats winning here? – politicalbetting.com
This case is awful and the police have questions to answer. Looking to frame it as a George Floyd in reverse or in any way down to Keir Starmer doesn't help at all. It comes across as hyperbolic and agenda-driven. It deserves better analysis than that imo. -
Re: As many union members support Reform as Labour – politicalbetting.com
Two comments on food stamps/SNAP benefits in the US. There was an earlier, and overlapping, effort to get food to the poor. The federal government gave food to the poor, particularly cheese, and still does to some extent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese In both programs, one of the political incentives was… -
Re: MAGA is here to stay – politicalbetting.com
It’s a shame online betting is restricted for most folks there; imagine the money to be made if they were all allowed onto Betfair! -
Re: Shortly there will be an election, in which Labour will increase its majority? politicalbetting.com
The move to Universal Credit was mostly down to the tenacity of Ian Duncan Smith and one of the few Conservative policies of the Coalition that I agreed with. It removed the benefits cliff and made it easier to enter the world of work and stay there. On those grounds alone I would be reluctant to remove it. -
Re: Rupert Lowe isn’t very good at expectations management – politicalbetting.com
In the US, "classical liberal" is often used to describe a person who believes in free speech, free press, free trade, and free men. (As I understand it, that is close to the way that liberal would have been used in the UK, during the 19th century.) The Republican Party, when it began. favored three of the four, all except… -

Re: The Abusive State – politicalbetting.com
The behaviour you affect is that of the people who lent the water companies money, and will have lost it when they go bust. Those people will, hopefully, have their behaviour modified to only lend for investment, and not to pay out dividends, as the new water company wouldn't be able to tell them, "don't worry, your money… -
Re: Deep in the heart of Texas – politicalbetting.com
On the face if it, you would think that the quantities of blood leaking from the victim would be a clue, but I wasn't there, so we'll see when there is more clear evidence of what happened and when. -
Re: One of the fundamental problems Kemi & The Tories face – politicalbetting.com
OT - Cons bigger problem is that noone thinks they will win the next election so they face the issue generations of Lib Dems have. Pronouncing what you will do in power just makes you look ridiculous. The Lib Dems have worked out other ways to survive and operate. The Cons will have to do the same. -
Re: Labour become the favourites to win most seats at the next general election – politicalbetting.com
Off topic but important: Nate Silver's May 5th Silver Bulletin has some numbers that many of you need to know: 1. Of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, as of the 2024 election, 60, or 14 percent, are held by blacks. (That's slightly more than the percentage of blacks in the US population.) 2. Only 7 of those 60… -
Re: Kemi Badenoch has made the Tory Party more the party of Remain than Leave – politicalbetting.com
OT - You mean the Con rump and their leader aren't the perfect match? Badenoch is going to learn that having Reform people approve of you but not wanting to vote for you is far from a winning strategy. If the Cons are not to be the new Liberal Party (1918-64) then they need to move on this and first priority is a new…
