https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45388557 And while our two main parties continue their respective soul-searching, what pray tell are the Liberal Democrat party up to? Apparently the Lib Dem's current leader Sir Vince Cable is to announce a shake-up of the party's rules, in a move that could see someone who is not an MP become leader of the Lib Dem party, as part of a plan to broaden their appeal. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45313399 If Sir Vince REALLY wants to broaden the Lib Dem's appeal, please come up with more besides supporting a campaign for a referendum on the final Brexit deal. The United Kingdom is leaving the EU on 29 March 2019, Period. And that deadline is fast approaching for all concerned.

The Commission poll is more than big enough to reach a conclusion on daylight savings. That assumes it was representative, which I do -- the Commission is far too professional to waste money on a meaningless poll If it's of interest, Russia cancelled daylight savings some years ago. Works great! But you're absolutely right about our VEF brexit poll. It's not just unrepresentative, it even contains ineligible voters, including me |

Hahaha! If you mean the "settlement", the €50 billion will be paid over three or four decades or so, so yes, it will indeed be relatively small beer. Did you really think it was all due at once?? The €8 billion or so annual net contributions will be missed, but with one big client less to accommodate, and with good planning, the overall effect will not be dramatic from an EU perspective |

I've read that in Japan they're thinking about introducing daylight saving - when I was there one early summer it was full daylight at 5 AM and dark by 7. 30 PM in the evening. Here in Jockland at midsummer it's clear at 4 am and doesn't get properly dark till 11 pm. |

The opinion polls changed rapidly and quite soon the Tories were governing in a minority by courtesy of the Democratic Unionists - always steer well away from any entity which includes the word "Democratic" in its name. The moral of the story? The opinion poll which decides the outcome is the actual vote on election day - unless you are in charge of counting the votes.

But as someone who's spent most of his life in the arctic and sub-arctic, I can tell you it's a complete waste of time here as well. In summer you get no darkness, and in winter you get no light -- no matter what the clock tells you. So why change the time?? |
