I have observed this dysfunctional organisation since Benelux pretty much. Quite simply the original question was /has changed so many times but never has anyone asked directly what we now think. An in vote would also force us towards the Euro and I know that will be refuted by the in group but it will just as the EEC… -
Re: How tomorrow’s vote is shaping up – politicalbetting.com
Conversion of houses into flats mainly took place in the 80s and 90s. When I first came to London in 1998 the vast majority of housing stock had already been converted. There is some reconversion back to houses in some places but councils are wary of this for the obvious reason that it reduces housing stock. The overall… -
Re: Trump still retains the support of MAGA but the trend is not his friend – politicalbetting.com
I think it's time to cut £40bn from welfare and build a properly independent nuclear deterrent and properly fund defence. We can no longer rely on the US regardless of who is in the White House. The Trident programme made sense in an era when the UK and US were inseparable in terms of our global aims but now that is no… -

The Speaker's job is to select which amendments are in order, effective and likely to command the support of the house. Most of the amendments were wrecking amendments, and wrecking amendments are never in order. As for the Swire and Murrison amendments, they were both ineffective, as they tried to bind the EU to act in a… -

Re: Final Survation MRP predicts a truly terrible night for the SNP – politicalbetting.com
away from the UK election fun, there has been a MASSIVE movement towards Harris on the nominee and General election markets. I think it’s because an hour ago, a poll showed Trump 49 Harris 47 - Harris doing better than Biden against Trump - and Lloyd Doggett, a Dem member of the House calling on Biden to step down. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Yvette Cooper moves into favourite slot as Corbyn’s successor
It just shows how standards and expectations have dropped over the decades. A back bencher can be perceived to be effective in asking a question of the PM, and all of a sudden becomes a favourite to be the next party leader. Yvette Cooper just happens to be that person this week. Next week, it could be anyone else. In… -

...If the last year has been difficult for UKIP, it has been disastrous for the Labour party. Not only did it lose the general election in May heavily (by two million votes) and get almost wiped out in Scotland, it lost some of its leading figures and ended up with an unelectable, anti-Western, far left leader who is in… -
Re: Sunak’s personal polling drops to record low – politicalbetting.com
FPT: 148grs claimed that '. . . in the House gerrymandering has gotten so out of control that the GOP control significantly more seats than they "should".' (They were corrected by two or three other commenters, but I am not sure they really accepted the corrections.) How often has the "wrong" party, the party with fewer… -
Re: EX-PBER DAVID HERDSON JOINS THE YORKSHIRE PARTY – politicalbetting.com
Slight problem with your arguments 1) the blight remains because the land hasn't been released because it will be needed in the future 2) HS2 has continually been sold on speed but that isn't the purpose of the project. HS2 is about capacity and that capacity has multiply effects. The problem the Government now has is that… -
Re: Who will be Tory leader at the next general election? – politicalbetting.com
You obviously didn't get the memo - the laws of supply and demand don't work for housing. Because if they did, the answer is to build more housing. Which would upset lots of people. The real answer is that 90% of all housing has been stolen by the Trans Gay Illegal Immigrant Alien AIs who are storing it in hyperspace. Once… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Is nationalisation really making a comeback? Don Brind doubts
Many people dedicated the best part of their lives towards bringing about these events, so it's understandable they find it hard to face reality, but it's about time they did. The sovereignist right has a lot to take responsibility for too, going all the way back to making the Tory party unelectable in the 90s and giving… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » PaddyPower makes it 3/1 that TMay won’t survive beyond the end
What a collossal cheek by the Tories biggest general election loser. There he is:John Major, looking more like his Spitting Image puppet than ever, the man who lost the general election of 1997 by a bigger margin than any prime minister since the Duke of Wellington; the man whose big idea in 7 years in power was the "cones… -

Calling a PM "unelected" after he has literally tabled a motion and voted for an early election is absurd. He's just been elected by Jeremy Corbyn! -

Re: The government is getting the blame for the Nurses’ strike – politicalbetting.com
Given the discussion to this point was concerning housing not large scale infrastructure projects, planning reform is almost entirely unnecessary in that area. If you want to get more houses built then start getting the developers to actually build houses on the land that already has planning permission. And enforce the… -
Re: I’m sorry I haven’t a clue about this poll – politicalbetting.com
Note that this is the second strike on the Progress electronics plant in Cheboksary in 48 hours, and it has been targeted before. Generally speaking these targets need to be hit repeatedly to fully take them out of action, and Ukraine is starting to do those sort of sustained attacks, as we saw in Tuapse. Another oil… -
Re: The voters do not salute Galloway’s courage, strength, and indefatigability – politicalbetting.com
One meets the other, each has their own house to begin with, eventually they move in together permanently, decide one house isn't needed. Simple as that. The timings are flexible; and the time allowed before CGT is due on a house that has been a primary residence is another factor. (I don't think they had index linking for… -
Re: Vote West, get Wes? Why some Labour MPs are worried about 10 Downing Streeting
Angela Rayner has demanded Sir Keir Starmer allow Andy Burnham to return to Westminster. Sir Keir’s former deputy has told the Prime Minister it is time to “bring our best players into Parliament”, in a move that could pave the way for the Greater Manchester Mayor to challenge Sir Keir for the Labour leadership. Sir Keir…
