Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Remember that even Tony Blair with all his magic was never
Regarding Milliband, issues and competence, I get it. People question his ability to deliver these policies because they are difficult. But at least he has identified them as problems - and they are for millions - so that as the campaign goes on and the Tories go into full denial mode, that's when it will resonate more.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The political party of 2013 – it has to be UKIP
Good to see UKIP getting a bit of PB recognition The last few days I have been thinking about the impact of mass immigration on the working class, and came to the conclusion that it is simply pure capitalism... then I thought about the minimum wage Big organisations get to employ hundreds of thousands of new employees at… -
Re: GE2019 CON voters give Truss a net MINUS 20% approval rating – politicalbetting.com
Well, of course, almost anything is possible - but we need to ask ourselves how this situation is somehow to be turned around. First impressions are very important, most voters will only really have become aware of Truss when she ascended to the top job, and it's evident that the preponderance of them really do not like… -
Re: Meanwhile in Canada – politicalbetting.com
Not quite what Project 2025 think. They're of the opinion that after years of DEI, their forces are weak and need 'full spectrum' defence. If that belief has been adopted by the present administration, then it would explain their apparent deference to Russia and the need for more defence spending ($150bn) which they are… -

Re: Vaccine refuseniks are like WW2 blitz blackout breakers – politicalbetting.com
Trump lost Virginia in 2016 though. But overall, I agree that VA-Gov will be a nail-biter. Also the Republicans have a decent chance of flipping the Virginia lower house (House of Delegates). If they did, they would still be short of a trifecta though as the Democrats control the state Senate and that's not up until next… -
Re: Almost halfway through March and still no CON poll lead – politicalbetting.com
Thats not completely true. There were a lot of people willing to take in Syrians over the past few years. It has been heavily criticised on here, but the requirement that people find their own refugees to house was a good idea. They can make contact on social media and decide themselves whether or not they are willing to… -
Re: A hollow victory for the hollow crown? – politicalbetting.com
I think thats complete tosh. In agitprop land common sense goes out the window. It might be more appropriate to think that if we have had an extra 10 million people in the population in a country which has not built houses or expanded its national infrastructure , why is it a good idea to expand immigration at a level we… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Social Undistanceables: A Plan
The pub game and the eating out game has been over for a long time for a lot of people. Its been out of their price range for the best part of a decade. Probably unusual on here as most of my friends are on average wage or less but I can say none of them consider going to a bar or restaurant these days because of cost.… -

Have to say I'm really enjoying this descent into all out Brexiteer war in the Tory party. The Brexiteer MP's have just been pushed too far, and the elastic holding the whole lot is snapping, Corbyn not withstanding. The trouble is that everyone has so much dirt on everyone else, that it's a plague on all your houses. I'm… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ukip are fielding candidates in three-quarters of the local
What a whole load of old nonsense. 1. You cannot conclude any general trend from two datapoints. ONS's observation that the rate of growth in February 2013 over January 2013 takes the growth index level back to its position in September 2012 is a justified observation in context. Concluding that this represents stagnation… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Brecon & Radnorshire: the by-election that never was?
It is not clear cut and potentially we are about to bump into one of the many fuzzy edges of our constitution. As I understand it May has to recommend someone to the Queen who is "highly likely" to command the House. It may well have been made clear via the channels that Boris would not be likely to command the House… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Trump stories come thick and fast – this is the latest on
On Topic: Has Trump DONE anything of note that any Republican with a majority in both Houses wouldn't have? I know he has done it in a grandstanding and chaotic fashion, and I don't agree with his agenda. BUT, everything achieved so far has been mainstream Republican policy for a while. We are being blinded by smoke and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Donald Brind says: “Thanks Neil – now we need to hear from
I find it fascinating to observe how much Blair is now vilified within the Labour party despite having successfully having won three GE's. The Conservative party on the other hand, really struggled because they couldn't find a prospective leader that they thought would live up to the mythical stature of Thatcher as a '… -

Has the 35 hour week been a disaster in France? Like all things it may not have achieved all its objectives, but I also don't think it has been a disaster, probably demonstrated by the fact that it is 21 years old now and has only had minor amendments. Are you just assuming it is a disaster because you don't like the idea… -

The red wall isn't uniform of course. My old parts of the red wall (on both the Lancashire and Yorkshire sides) are very very anti-new houses.

ur in the 40s again. Four in a row? Again, a good post. The Tories don't have any narrative. The sort of What Are the Tories For? stuff. The odious Crosby will choose to bang on about immigrants and welfare for 18 months, which may capture some Kippers but will alienate the centrists the Tories need to win. That's the key… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Britain’s original sins?
Casino - I think what you're saying is that there has been little or no movement at all in your experience over the past 2-3 days and that has been my impression too. The betting markets have moved marginally towards REMAIN but have been steady these last 24 hours. It has been suggested on this thread that LEAVE's level of…
