    You're right, a LOT worse.
    The question was far too woolly. and nobody voted for the nonsense these buggers are now putting forward, as well you know.

    Research by the Electoral Commission confirmed that the recommended question "was clear and straightforward for voters, and was the most neutral wording from the range of options considered and tested". The question was:

    Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?

    52% of respondents voted Leave - incidentally, the largest number of people who ever voted for anything in British history.
    What's woolly about that?


    Ah, I think I see the problem! The question should have been:

    Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or stay in the European Union?

    Clearer?

    The question is totally woolly. Leave under what conditions? Should we all perhaps jump off a cliff?

    That they threw Kucinich out the window so they could push the "kill the New Deal" agenda as far as possible. Now they may live to regret it.

    On Fox, Nigel Farage says people protesting Trump in London are “communists” and “extremists”
    Fox “straight news” anchor Bill Hemmer did not disclose that Farage is current leader of the Brexit Party

    Many people in Britain are not fans of President Trump. The main exceptions are Nigel Farage and Havana Moon.

    I can confirm that Mr Farage is leader of the Brexit Party. I'm sorry if Fox viewers don't know that.

    Obama was an excellent president. That probably explains at least in part Biden's polling. That being said, I still want the (D)s to focus on promoting younger candidates.

    Warren is the proper choice. She is 4 years younger than Trump and much smarter and in much better shape. Women also live longer.
    The younger Dems are not ready yet. They are mostly too local. Some just dropped in to get some national recognition for the future races.
    Yang, Tulsi, Beto,Kamala, Buttigieg, Castro, and Booker are just broadcasting their names to the nation.
    What makes Steyer a real billionaire think a wealthy person with no political experience can win?
    It is Warren, Biden and Klobuchar, Klobuchar is not building momentum.

    I will vote for Warren if she gets the nomination.
