Re: Now we have polling on who’s been the “PM of the Year” – politicalbetting.com
In a way, that makes it worse. There are people and firms in Britain with the skills to do this stuff. But a lot of the time, we either don't do stuff, or do it in a cheap shoddy way. And whilst I don't want to believe a pat story like "all the money UK taxpayers have saved by having relatively low taxes for decades has… -
Re: Johnson is next CON leader favourite – but only a 14% one – politicalbetting.com
It’s a bit of a nothing burger, this one. The donation was tiny and seems to be based on publication of a single book or pamphlet by a moderate MP. I’m more annoyed he is another Eton and Oxford. -
Re: Holyrood’s shame – politicalbetting.com
A narrative for everyone here: Normanby (Redcar and Cleveland) council by-election result: CON: 37.5% (+15.9) LAB: 34.5% (+2.4) IND (Richardson): 13.8% (+13.8) IND (McInnes): 10.5% (+10.5) LDEM: 3.7% (-12.9) No UKIP (-29.8) as prev. Votes cast: 1,036 Conservative GAIN from Labour. -
Re: The strikes: The Tories are struggling to win public support – politicalbetting.com
I think they save money. We keep experienced nurses who have better skills and more training working for longer. We get a lot of their pay rises back in tax and lower benefits anyway. We get shorter waiting lists and get people back into work more quickly. We pay less in massively bloated agency rates. A properly… -
Re: The Front pages on Day 1 of nursing strike – politicalbetting.com
No, they didn't make fortunes. But that was because they made such a shambles of it. At the last count, £158.5 million which was designed to be channelled - illegally - to this shipyard has gone missing. And it went to people who should not have got it, based on information that was false. And incidentally, despite… -
Re: Trump slumps to a new low in the WH2024 betting – politicalbetting.com
Interesting social structure in Russia these days then - “About that attempt to tear your face off with Mach 3 tungsten fragments - no hard feelings, right?” Or have you considered that Russian media may be telling the kind of stories that Goebbels loved - the ones about how the Americans and the English and the Russians… -
Re: Is this good for Sunak or bad? – politicalbetting.com
I suspect you would not be happy with votings for less services for less taxes. A lot of people would be happy to vote so because the vast majority of people dont on the whole see or interact with a lot of services the state perform. For example the only service that most see from their local council is bin collection and… -

The Republican House Committee report on Covid Origins is dynamite. Why are people ignoring it?

Re: The best election bet – LAB NOT to get a majority – politicalbetting.com
Opinion just doesn't shift like that. You have an idea that a headline in the Mail or Express will actually change a voting habit which has been built up over years sometimes generations. A few bad headlines might shift a few floating voters here or there but the lasting damage is done over time. Building up a tarnished… -
Re: They’re trolling us now. – politicalbetting.com
I walked along that stretch of coast in October 2002. The rows of cuts corn stalks ended right at the edge of the cliffs, showing that a considerable distance (enough to turn a combine) of land had disappeared in the few months since harvest. It's quite amazing. Likewise, you can see radical change in the coast at… -
Re: The Ipsos 2023 predictions poll – politicalbetting.com
In order to be the sort of maniac that Cruddas is, you need to have a lot of money to threaten you won't donate unless .... The problem for Cruddas is that threats from him won't woo either those who are cool with the rightwing insurgents or those who are happy with a party they take to be "centre right". Not that his… -

Re: LAB moves to a 72% betting chance of winning most seats – politicalbetting.com
University admission is the same. We had a deoartment getting too many applicants, so they increased the required grades. Applicants assumed the department better than others with (now) lower grades and applications increased. It also works in reverse. Departments that are struggling should never lower grades, as fewer… -

Re: How will Stretford & Urmston compare with Chester? – politicalbetting.com
Swing is the average of the change in share of vote of the two main parties. In this case it's ((9.3%+11.7%)/2) = 10.5%. -
Re: Dominic Raab’s terrible YouGov favourability ratings – politicalbetting.com
Hopefully should he prevail, he won't become a war criminal either. That was my big plus for Johnson. He wasn't a war criminal. I suppose there is always the prospect that during his second coming he can chalk up that label. -
