Re: Conflicts of interest – politicalbetting.com
I know it is gauche to keep on reminding people of my brilliance but the BBC has finally caught up with what I have been saying for the last few years. The Labour Party would need a record swing in votes at the next general election to win a majority in the House of Commons, according to analysis of the new electoral map.… -

Update on the hands-free cyclist who posted the clip of the City of London Constable having been ticketed for hands-free riding in traffic as "without due care or consideration". There are places where hands-free is OK if you have the skill, eg empty cycle track with good views; near Bank Station is not such a place. It… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Hammond’s budget: the tabloids react
And that's before we consider how GDP could have been bigger during the last two years. Exports would almost certainly have been lower with a higher Sterling exchange rate. Its difficult to imagine construction increasing more than it has done. Would government spending have been higher ? I doubt it. So what does that… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Betting on Labour polling under 20% at the next general electi
I've been looking at Legal Incapacities to vote. It looks as though members of the House of Lords would not have been able to vote in the referendum; perhaps that's why so many of them want to make their opinions felt now. I was looking at Legal Incapacities to find out how 'incapable' one has to be to be ruled unable to… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Wythenshawe look as though it will take place in mid-Februa
But, Mr Llama, this is a criticism that can be levelled at almost every Prime Minister. You can argue that it does not apply to PMs called to office in a national crisis where there is a single over-riding aim, like Churchill in 1940, but few would describe Winston as a self-effacing wall-flower lacking personal political… -

Re: The Arc of History – politicalbetting.com
He was quoting a 19th century preacher whom no-one has heard of. His quote referring to that preacher has then been misquoted (and on some views misunderstood) by Obama, who reportedly had it sewn into a rug at the White House. My only interest was in using the "arc of history" reference (not in King). You clearly don't… -

Switching the entire basis of the welfare state to a contributory model would probably have done almost nothing to reduce immigration, which was of course stoked by predominantly younger people who came with job offers or were actively looking for (largely low-paid) work. I think most of us can agree that benefit… -

Re: This looks an interesting bet – politicalbetting.com
Today’s your annual reminder that Georgia has a groundhog named General Beauregard Lee who comes out of a plantation house that should’ve been burned to the ground by Punxsutawney Phil on his March to the Sea… but here we are.

Re: Are the Tories set to lose ALL of their Welsh Seats? – politicalbetting.com
Yay - a Wales thread. As usual there are long-term trends (= socio-economics) and short-term fluctuations (= politics) to weigh up. The NE Wales red wall has been slowly trending Tory for decades as the mines and steelworks are replaced by un-unionised sunrise tech industries and the brick shit-houses where the miners used… -
