Re: Undefined discussion subject.
I don't think the MP needs to have committed an imprisonable offence. From the Act .. (1) If a candidate who has been elected is reported by election court personally guilty or guilty by his agents of any corrupt or illegal practice his election shall be void. (2) A candidate at a parliamentary election shall also be… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Local By-Election Preview: April 10th 2014
It's ok you handful of PB lefties crowing about a six point lead and no crossover, well you are going to be proved wrong, crossover is nigh, Tory majority nailed on. The reason can be found below(pick you favourite and the poster associated with it ;-) ) If the economy continues to grow If wages outstrip inflation If Ukip… -

In all the excitement have we noted Rudy Giuliani's Excellent Adventure? He's been dodging his indictment for election crimes in Arizona, and tweeted "nah nah nah" from his 80th Birthday Party.

Now, Carillon Court is the focus of a dispute involving residents, the housing association, and Bugler, the construction firm who built it. Residents began to complain about leaks and damp in 2009, when one resident claimed that “the property that I bought in good faith and paid a large sum of money for is now, I, believe… -

Lansman is saying his previous Tweets were based on information that he had been provided by the people who were then running the Labour party. His very grudging apology is a recognition that the information was incorrect. In other words, he has listened very carefully to the legal advice. Thus, the Tweet drives a coach… -

Sorry about your daughter's sorry situation. Fact that she's worried for her workers tells me she's exactly the kind of person we (globally-humanly speaking) need in her profession - the best kind of entrepreneur, employer and community enterprise Clearly lots of small businesses have been horribly (and too-often fatally)… -

Seeing some of the ‘you would have been a Roundhead!’ comments has made me wonder where my loyalties would have lied in the Civil War. I kind of like the idea of monarchy and find it a far superior option than a republic / presidency. The head of state becomes a truly impartial unifier and symbol of statehood and shared… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » My prediction: Ukip to gain 100+ seats and get a big result
Maybe it is the hot house of PB but I think and fear we are going to see something pretty significant today/tomorrow. I think that UKIP will end up with something like 200 gains in a wave of anti politics that does indeed mirror what we saw with the ex clown in Italy. I think the tories will take the biggest hit but all… -
Re: How long before re-join the EU becomes a serious movement? – politicalbetting.com
I think it depends why you thought Johnson won in 2019. I think the two biggest factors were "getting Brexit done" and "levelling up". The first has long been an issue, but wasn't enough to secure May a majority when she tried to use that as a way of doing other Tory policies alongside it. The second was, essentially,… -
Re: West Lancs looks like a LAB hold on small turnout – politicalbetting.com
You need to tell the labour party to roll out my recommended strategy of choosing about 10 safe conservative seats on the periphery of London, areas with lots of undeveloped land and of limited landscape value, and pledge to pass an Act of Parliament in the first 100 days of being elected that grants outline planning… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Never mind the House, watch the governors’ races for 2020
Though it need not necessarily have been. Up until then civil rights had been to some extent a bipartisan issue, with supporters and opponents in both parties - and note that a larger percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both the House and Senate voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. There is some debate about… -

So landlords are deliberately depriving themselves of good tenants? Well, it's a thought. In the real world, landlords can only go on experience and risk. That means some people get unfairly treated, but, rather than lambasting landlords who just want their property to be respected and their rent paid, shouldn't you turn… -

I find it a little odd to think that apparently targeting the 52 per cent who voted Brexit rather than the 48 per cent who voted remain who have the option of voting Labour, the Lib Dems, Green, Plaid or SNP is a problematic electoral strategy? Assuming UKIP doesn't have a resurgence - there wont be anyone else to vote for… -

@Hugh "PBTories in full chorus supporting rotten banks and Big Business I see." Oi!

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » New ComRes phone poll has REMAIN retaining its 7% lead
Yep, from the very start this has been about keeping Dave and George in charge. They were frightened of the Tory right and UKIP so promised a vote they never wanted to get them past the last GE. And now they are paying the price. Their only option is to fight fire with fire. We'll see what and who is left standing once the… -

Not quite correct. It is already the case in the costas here - simply being extended to the whole country. The change in the last 24 hours has been dramatic. The mass movement of thousands of Madrilenos to the costas has triggered this. There is huge anger at them where I live and I suspect this could turn on the… -

Gamblers probably do have different sense of fair play within gambling compared to most people. Not always stricter or more lenient, but based on common practice and etiquette.

Re: Rishi’s integrity problem – politicalbetting.com
This is a very funny PB pedant dispute, since of course not 'every part' of Scotland voted remain, if there was no constituency involved you could find a town or some other subdivision which did somewhere, which is why 'part' is meaningless as it has no definition. Even if the vote was 80/20 there'd be an estate or two… -

This is why it is completely inappropriate to hold a vote on the UK's future for the next 40 years in a week of national mourning. No one has yet explained to me why the voter registration deadline can be extended for two days when it was interrupted for an hour, when the vote itself does not get a delay at all when it has… -
