They vary in quality quite a lot, but fivethirtyeight.com's aggregation of them (they adust for house bias and weight according to the historical quality) has been very accurate for the last two presidential elections. Edit: See here: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/ -
Re: The other side of the bet. The ethics of political gambling. – politicalbetting.com
Morning again all :) Back on topic, gambling - a multi-faceted subject if there ever was one. I'm a gambler - I could imagine myself having a serious problem under the right conditions - it's one of my demons. That said, my life of mostly unsuccessful gambling has taught me enough - I enjoy Vegas as a place but I can't… -

The SFO have not had a lot of success recently. Too soon to blame the director appointed last year - Lisa Osofsky - but if the current Barclays trial does not go well for them,well, expect the same questions to be asked as have been asked of the SFO for the last 30 years. I was once interviewed by them as a potential… -

More to the point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_massacre_of_1961 The police are, fairly openly, racist against poor non-white people. The French approach to minorities has been, in effect, to segregate them into housing estates. Integration is very low - those who think that the U.K. is run by stale & pale should… -
Re: She may be gone but the Truss legacy still endures – politicalbetting.com
LOL. That's not how the care sector works. The council tell the care home what they are prepared to pay per hour for non self funders and that's the end of it. The self funders get an increase in order to cross subsidise the council funded peeps. It is exactly like the current situation in universities: the foreign… -

Interesting article, and one could also quote this: "Back to the EU… One knows deep down, as one did back in the early 2000s, that for all the impressive and slightly chilling power of the machine, the anti-Brexit scare stories are mostly garbage. Just as some us sensed it when Gordon Brown – that incompetent regulator of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The St John PB Christmas Day Crossword
I'm on the fourth stage of about nine, but the project has been paused as I wasn't allowed to bring it up north for Christmas. ;) I've probably spent about eight or nine hours on it so far, and RCS (I think) mentioned 20 hours. I hope he enjoys it Malc. I'm certainly enjoying mine! -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Budgeting for a crisis
First, looks as though there will be some recovery on the markets as some had expected. It has been asked this will be another dead cat bounce but we'll see. The suspension of horse racing until the end of April has surprised me in terms of the longevity - France has shut down only until April 15th. Ireland continues… -
Re: Trump makes a late intervention to ensure a Liberal landslide – politicalbetting.com
I've had an absolutely beautiful day, almost every step of the way Yesterday was actually pretty bleak; the weather was poor, the scenery was disappointing, and nothing was open since it was a Sunday. The only thing that rescued the day was the lovely hotel I stayed in Today, the weather has been glorious - possibly a… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Looks like LAB is preparing for LD coalition negotiations
Is that Robin Ellison the actor? No idea about the party. Have never heard of it. Sorry. BTW thanks for your response on the previous thread. M Nawaz has been very open about his Islamist past so can't imagine what the Mail thought it was doing, other than to try and smear every Muslim as a terrorist. Which is despicable.… -

High house prices in Cities, mean only wealthy people can live there, equals Labour electoral success, seems an odd conclusion to me.

I think we've learned the hard way that attempting to placate extremism doesn't work and can backfire spectacularly. I think what has never been adequately addressed is the reason why the UK's benefits, housing and healthcare systems are so unduly strained by what should be a reasonably sustainable level of immigration,…
