Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » ICM phone poll naming Clegg has him holding Sheffield Halla
I've been up to Nottingham and Rushcliffe today. After a couple of hours I turned the radio on and they were talking about the election and I realised I hadn't seen a single election poster or anything. After several hours, still almost nothing. One of the reasons that the need for PR is so urgent is that the country has… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » After yesterday’s dramatic Scottish polls LAB braces itself
Zero-hours contracts are another area where labour's been incompetent. ZHC's are, from some polling, generally popular with people who have them, and the majority are not looking for other work. Instead, Labour has bashed the entire segment, stupidly. Especially when Labour MPs, charities and other groups also use ZHC's.… -
Re: Kemi Badenoch is 100% right on this – politicalbetting.com
All, Have been busy working so have only just caught up with comments on my header, for which thanks. An interesting discussion. This comment by @viewcode has got my meaning entirely wrong. I meant that were I to end the life of a loved one I would expect to be investigated because my actions in crossing the taboo against… -
Re: Huge blow for Sunak as Supreme Court flings out his Rwanda plan – politicalbetting.com
Just how Wack is anti-Woke? NYT (via Seattle Times) - In Texas, a fight over gender and school theater takes an unexpected turn SHERMAN, Texas — A school district in the conservative town of Sherman, Texas, made national headlines last week when it put a stop to a high school production of the musical “Oklahoma!” after a… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » TMay has probably ensured that she’ll remain as PM until Brexi
So re Southam's and others points about Labour. I think it's always been very clear that many of those who voted Labour did not do so because they were massive Socialists. As Stephen Bush has noted: What there is considerable evidence of is that the average under-40 is actually less sympathetic towards nationalisation,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Tories goes on the offensive with a personal attack aga
Larry Elliott spelled out why the SNP leadership has rejected the idea of a separate Scottish currency very well yesterday: as Salmond knows, there are not enough purists to win a referendum, so his pitch has been that Scotland can have the best of all worlds. It can be independent while using the pound. It can have most… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Election 2014: A 3-act drama and the plot’s bubbling nicely
Mid-Sussex did a face down verification yesterday (took about 3 hours with 72 people actually doing the counting) and the count proper which was due to start at 18:00 tomorrow has been put back to 18:30. I am told that the change of time was to fit in with the rest of the region. The count itself I'd guess will take 3/4… -
Re: Kate Forbes must be glad to have lost the SNP leadership contest – politicalbetting.com
I would guess that respondents are interpreting this as 'this is something I think about at least semi-regularly.' In which case I'm surprised and disappointed that it's so high. It barely features in my thoughts any more (and it has been in my house in the past month.) For which I feel profoundly grateful. For a year or… -
Re: We could be wrong, you know – politicalbetting.com
Morning all :) On-topic, Robert is right, we could be wrong. There are those on here who do, in all fairness, point up areas which suggest it's not all plain sailing for Biden - voter registration numbers, problems for Biden among the black and hispanic communities etc. Yet, when I look at the polls, what strikes me time… -
Re: As voting starts Truss still the strong next PM favourite – politicalbetting.com
No it isn't. You are dumping 75% of the population. You are also screwing with the lives of those who having been tutored for the Grammar and can't cope. Saw lots of them when I transferred to the Grammar. And you aren't catering for kids who are gifted in certain areas but poor in others. And as has been stated over and… -
Re: What a waste of 100 nominations – politicalbetting.com
Is Boris the LOTO type? Hard work, no power, no big houses. No, I suspect the plan is much the same as it was last week: wait for the incumbent to slip up; move back into Downing Street shortly before the election. This is, though, I expect, Boris's last hurrah. It has long been my suspicion that he intended to retire at… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If the current CON leadership rules had been in place in Novem
Tbf it was one of the more rigorous examinations she's been given recently, though since Ruth has hardly given any interviews over the last 6 months that's not saying much. Serendipitous that the following piece was about sexual consent. Someone in the Women's Hour team has a sense of humour. -
Re: Just 42% of GE2019 CON voters now back Sunak’s party – YouGov – politicalbetting.com
The reporting on is just as uninformative, though this is another account which makes it sound as though the new defence minister is not the one making the decision. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/world/2023/01/501_344025.html … Germany acknowledged there had been no resolution. But, speaking to reporters outside the… -
Re: The trend is not Sunak’s friend with Savanta and Opinium is no barrel of laughs
Yep. Ozzy & Bally are by far the best. The BBC is utter crap and has been for years. No serious political punter will want their dreary on-side crap for hours on end. -
Re: Braverman’s leadership bid is like a visit to a gay bar – politicalbetting.com
It is all of a piece. I neither know nor care if it's taken two solid hours and two enquiries as to where the food has gone to get as far as being presented with my main course (as happened to us a few weeks back at a local establishment) because there are hardly any waiting staff, or hardly any kitchen staff, or because… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Antifrank’s 50/1 tip to be next Labour leader
Of COURSE they were using the hospital for a shelter - so have all the 'rebels' in Syria, but has that stopped us ignoring that that fact and using it to feed the narrative of Assad 'slaughtering his own people'? No. In other news, Russia are claiming ISIS are on the ropes - 'One question that’s been asked repeatedly over… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Miliband’s Achilles’ heel: those who backed Brown
Easterross. "As for Scots Tories, how do you explain our vote has been increasing constantly since 2011?" Thank you for your welcome. Some weeks ago I went to a little fete in in a very pretty port in Alec Salmond's constituency up from Aberdeen and I was amazed at the number of ex pat English people. I would guess up to a… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Dave might not have been so upbeat at PMQs if this Ipsos-MO
"Dave might not have been so upbeat at PMQs if this Ipsos-MORI poll had come out two hours earlier" Why not? It was accurately predicted on here, well in advance of PMQ's, what questions Ed would lead with. Ed has backed himself into a corner with his policy free zone and Cameron has the ammunition and the ability to use… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Britain is a how many party system?
Haven't been on much today, but the more I hear about this Oxford case the more distressing it is. However, given my previous criticism, I just wanted to congratulate the BBC on first rate coverage of what is an awful, awful crime. They have given it the attention that something so appalling deserves, and hopefully this…
