Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Analysing the best Prime Minister polling
No, prole hatred has been with us since the year dot and has manifested itself in a variety of ways over the centuries, from slavery through to feudalism, horrific working conditions, non access to education and social security, and so on. The idea that the right are happy with working class people going on strike for… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » As we await the August IPSOS-MORI poll here’s the latest GE
This site contains a lot of basic statistics about UK debt: http://www.creditaction.org.uk/helpful-resources/debt-statistics.html It is not a pretty picture but the latest statistics suggest unsecured consumer debt is actually falling. I therefore really don't know what the basis of the Telegraph piece is. And these are… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Labour to launch a decapitation strategy against Clegg?
@MarkSenior said: As has been pointed out many times , Hallam does NOT have a strong student vote , it has a strong academic/lecturer/professorial vote which is not the same thing at all . According to UKPR it's 18% in full time education so yes, not a ridiculously strong student seat but higher than say Liverpool… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » TMay in third place as “best PM” in latest YouGov London poll
London is not representative of the UK as a whole. It has a higher proportion of EU immigrants, it has much higher levels of poverty than other parts of the UK, and the housing problem is much more acute in London. Not fertile ground for the current Tory party. No surprise that Theresa May is doing badly. even Ed Miliband… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » PB Video Analysis: Five Things That Will Surprise You
Yup: Adonis is an arse. There are no trains to Carlisle at all on a Sunday from the southern part of the Lakes. A job in Carlisle on a Sunday had to be turned down because there was no economical way of getting there. Bad for the person concerned and the institution unable to get the staff they wanted. Our local (Tory) MP… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ladbrokes open market on the battle within LAB for Lewisham Ea
Mr. Fire, ha. If it had been 52% Remain we'd've had the Lords suggesting it was a green light to join the single currency. We would not have the political/media class in London talking about a looser relationship and regaining powers from the EU. It's a ratchet. Whenever someone says 'no' it can be overturned or watered… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » TMay has taken a hammering in YouGov’s “best PM” tracker but C
It's interesting you should name me in that. For the record: I support the people of Palestine *and* Israel, not their leaderships who often perform actions that are not in the interests of 'their' people. Criticising the actions of the Israeli government is fair enough (and there is bucketsfull to criticise); however if… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » There’s been no Glasgow games boost yet for IndyRef YES on
@FoxInSox "The combination of death duties and Western Front slaughter of junior officers was very effective at breaking up the Aristocratic estates of the 19th century, both in UK and Ireland." Was it really? I live in West Sussex and great tracts of the County are still owned by three families that have owned them for… -
Re: And Betfair hasn’t even settled the £40m popular vote market – politicalbetting.com
Oh we certainly are. Boris commons majority was achieved on promise you won’t hear brexit mentioned again, let alone year after year of dreary EU UK wrangling. Ha! 🤣 The last four years have been mere hors d'oeuvre compared to the hour by hour bust ups, many of them petty mean spirited and just plain stupid, drizzled over… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Will it be English Tories that swings the IndyRef for the Y
I find coming back from the Far East quite easy. My problem has been always when I am there. A weekend sleeping away got rid of the jet lag. I do have a sleep problem now [ more to do with age, methinks ]. I wake up after about 5 hours sleep feeling fully fresh but after a couple of hours as morning beckons really feel… -
Re: Political betting is being blamed for the Tories losing control of every council tonight
I have a local Coop and Tesco across the road from each other (spine road into town through housing areas) - pre-bypass it was the A38. The Coop significantly reduced their stock range last year they say due partly to shoplifting. Whilst Tesco don't have a cage like a USA penitentiary, they do have a door opened from the… -

Equally on the money, the Sunday Rawnsley, brought to you via a sunny terrace above the Danube: ...it is hard not to conclude that we are witnesses to a world-changing reorientation of Washington’s priorities that threatens to leave Britain very marginalised.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » As CON MPs get increasingly concerned about Boris the 3/2 that
People are going to have to get used to the idea of switching between 2m and 1m, perhaps more than once, I think. Quite obviously government will try to ease restriction as soon as they can - but might well have to re-impose them, if case numbers head upwards again at a later date. Anything but another lockdown.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The New Political Divide, Part III
Morning all :) In response to Corporeal's missive (for which many thanks), I would argue the adage "people like people like themselves" has always held true, As I look back through my life and the friendships and relationships I have had, the common factor is they were all with people with similar traits. There have always… -

Happy Note Post: Those wishing to be miserable should read no further.

Re: Invoking God – the craziest political ad you are ever likely to see – politicalbetting.com
Relying on the youth vote to turnout is an absolute fool's errand. If I had to gamble (which I don't) I'd assume no youth surge and GOP comfortable winners of the House. What has been interesting in Pennsylvania polls I've seen is that Fetterman is doing better with over 65s than Oz. It is the 45-65 age bracket that is… -
