Thinking possibly that the D Day anniversary will remind them of the far right action in 1939?

Not sure off the top of my head, but it was certainly the most they have ever had, and were ahead of lot of those who were elected on first preference votes, and would have been in double figures in the assembly if it was based on first preference votes only per constituency (some constituencies...

I have to disagree. Under PR if a party gets a certain percentage of the votes, that is the percentage of seats they get. Under Single Transferable Vote, you could get 30% more of first preference votes than any opponent and lose. In a recent NI Assembly election the TUV got a high percentage of...

Depends on the constituency, if the Lib-dems are the best way to oust a self-servative then give them the vote. I'm not opposed to a two party state, I'm just opposed to the tories and their even more extreme brothers being one of those parties, and I am TOTALLY opposed to proportional...

I remember the usual right wing media headlines about Corbyn SNUBBING Remembrance Day dinner, and photos of him "doing a jig" after the service in London. What they failed to say was that instead of attending a gala dinner with the Generals, he returned to his constituency to attend a local...

I think the Lib-dems are playing a very good game so far in this campaign. By focusing on the tory seats where they finished second, they could quite easily have between 60 - 80 MP's returned, which will be a strong base to grow from, especially as July 5th will be the start of a internal war...

Cheers all, I ended up going on an internet retail site and purchasing a wall chart for a fiver....placed a few 3, 4 and fivefold bets on the group games for an interest and if the 4th or 5th game has still a chance of a decent return, I MIGHT leave the pool a bit early (though probably not if...

I wonder if the clown realises that he is wearing a NorthernIreland flag and not an England flag

As I will be on holiday for the first couple of weeks of the games in Germany, does anyone know of a publication out yet with a "wall chart" for the competition? No intention of filling it in, but it might influence the time I leave the pool for the pub a couple of evenings if there's a decent...

I had to speak to my boss in work today as I had 10th - 28th June booked off. Now going in on 28th and off on the 5th.

The tactical voting platform had almost a million visitors before the local council elections. They are expecting that to multiply before the general election. Labour majority government with the Lib-dems as the official party of opposition, with the self-servatives and SNP fighting for third...

I think that on the list of not a good look for the self-servatives, this would hardly make the top 100.....

To be fair (and no, i am not going to make a habit of that), openly supporting an opponent in a general election is fairly much the same as resigning

So the Deputy chairman hasn't a clue about the "big new plan"? And the student who works every weekend to help put them through university will now have their income cut by 25%? "They can't rely on the government"...some of these young people wouldn't know how to get these placements without...

So this proposed conscription, say an 18 year old decides they will serve the colours for a year, farewell party the night before drops a couple of E's or has a bit of weed, fails the CDT, DISHONERABLE Discharge, does that count as his "service"? Or get an intake of new conscripts, what wages...

Unless of course, your party colleagues are planning a night of the long knives against you

No difference to most new companies. The owner has to put in the initial investment. If it is a good marketing opportunity and likely to succeed then Lord Sugar or Lady Mone can buy a share based on market value.

It gives Tice's Reform Ltd an excuse not to stand in seats the Self-servatives have a chance of winning (retaining), and contest Labour strongholds and then say to the tories that they must move further to the fat extreme right. They were never going to put the Company reputation on the line by...

He was obviously talking about the big game in London this weekend as a dedicated Southampton fan (if he thinks there are votes to win)

Fruit and vegetables picked for this year sorted.
