Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why I’ve resigned from the Conservative Party
ON THREAD As a totally tribal Liberal Democrat I genuinely feel sympathy for Richard. I am as committed to the ideals of my own party as he has been to his and although the Lib Dems test me occasionally, the bonds of friendship alone keep me on the campaign trail. However in the 6 hours that BoJo has been PM, this shuffle… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Marine Le Pen goes into the final 2 days behind in every Frenc
There were many remainers that argued precisely that the EU would be vindictive in negotiations, to stop the risk of contagion. While there were many leavers arguing that BMW and Audi were going to tell Merkel the line to take, and that pure economic interest would mean they act responsibly. I still think there will be a… -

Here is the motion November 2013: That this House calls on the Government to freeze electricity and gas prices for 20 months whilst legislation is introduced to ring-fence the generation businesses of the vertically integrated energy companies from their supply businesses, to require all electricity generators and… -
Re: Will Boris Johnson win a seat at the next election? – politicalbetting.com
Actually the government can declare an emergency and suspend the debt brake (as they did the last 3 years). Which is no doubt what they will try to do. The debt brake has been part of the constitution since 2009, it would need a two thirds majority in both houses of parliament to remove it. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Lockdown is over. What next?
There are precious few under the age of 60 who've been down a pit. Leigh went Tory. Swathes of new house building all detached or semis with ample gardens have sprung up on what was previously derelict or grazing land. It is slowly developing into an outer commuting settlement for those who don't fancy City living. And has… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Diss-May. The manifest inadequacy of the outgoing Prime Minist
All correct and to which I would add - the madness in the wholesale credit markets, the crazy proliferation of derivative structures, the explosion in value and volumes, the abdication from any semblance of prudent risk management. Root cause being the venal bonus culture on Wall St and in its slavish imitator, the City of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Who will win the first Presidential debate?
This has the potential to bugger up the T20 blast. Gloucestershire's Bob Willis Trophy game with Northamptonshire has been abandoned after a Northants squad member tested positive for Covid-19. The player was not part of the group that travelled to Bristol but had been in contact with other squad members within 48 hours of… -
Re: Ars Longa, Vita Brevis – politicalbetting.com
As someone else wrote, what a way to start a Sunday morning! I wish Ms Cyclefree all the best; others in my circle are in a similar position and it's exceedingly worrying. However she is, compared with those in my circle, quite young and has therefore a reasonable chance of coming to a position where matters are going to… -
Re: Where are the defectors? – politicalbetting.com
Last week I wondered whether this US election bottom of the ticket races might be driving voting, hence increasing turnout for the Presidential (which, given the nature of those bottom of the ticket races, would IMO be on balance bad news for Trump and good for Biden). There is some evidence of this happening in Texas:… -

I consider myself rich, though I keep it quiet. I have a nice house and, together with my wife, we can support a family of five. We can have days out when we want. When asked household income in surveys, it's always one of the top two boxes that gets ticked, which is a reasonable indication that most have a lot less. But… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Local By-Election Results : August 14th 2014
These money laundering rules are loopy. A lady up the road from me has lived in the same house since 1972. Now she wants to sell and move into something smaller, for that she needs a solicitor so she goes to see a local one. Certainly he says but I must make sure you are who you say you are and are not trying to launder… -

Well, the little 'un has been up for half an hour, but not a single present has been opened yet. This must be a record... He's waiting for mum to get up as well. He's studied the presents under the tree, examined them, made guesses (one correct), but is patiently waiting. -
Re: Team Harris will take this right now – politicalbetting.com
The polling companies did not do well polling for the recent GE. Perhaps, just perhaps, instead of this being a conspiracy, they want to try to get their house and techniques in order before releasing more VI info? VI involves a lot of corrections and assumptions about the data, as has been discussed on here many times…
