The UK Parliament today is going to vote to hold a General Election on the 8th of June this year. Why is this happening? On the 23rd of June 2016, the UK voted to leave the European Union in a non-binding referendum. There were many reason behind why people voted the way they did, but the...

Just sharing what I thought was a pretty strong opinion piece: Trump banned refugees on Holocaust Remembrance Day. That says everything | Cecillia Wang You would of thought Trump might of tried to choose a less ironic day for signing such an order.

I totally didn't rush and throw this together over the last hour: Oh, also I thought bettercallpaul would appreciate a southern hemisphere edition:

Is this title okay? If not a mod can change it to "Duck? Duck? Goose?" if they so wish. So, I've been going out for walks regularly of late to lose weight. And a route I regularly walk takes me down a canal. I see a lot of the usual birds. Mallard Ducks, Canada Geese, Swans, those...black ones...

So I was wondering how the folk here generally think Trump will do as president. I figure it would be more interesting if we shared our best case and worst case scenarios. After which, you should probably mention which you think is more likely. Also, I wouldn't mind hearing if you think he'd...

Hello fellow Tablers! :) Seems a few folk have tried to get a chit-chat thread to stick here in TLT, so this is just my own attempt. No worries if it doesn't stick around. C'est la vie and all that. Feel free to share and discuss what ever you folk want, within the site rules obviously.

So with the first debate hours away, I figured it would be a good idea to update my prediction of the race. As the previous thread I started is now locked in OBOB Politics, I decided to take this opportunity to move to TLT(hope you folk don't mind): This is actually a graphic of how I think...

I thought starting this thread might be interesting. To see what the different electoral maps people put forward, and, if they want to share, their reasoning behind the maps. I want people here to feel comfortable sharing their predictions, so while some lighthearted discussion is fine, I...

Just a simple question. It seems pretty crazy that the Republicans have almost 10% of the population of the US registered as members. And the Democrats have over 10%! The only party that comes close to these figures in my country is the Scottish National Party, at 2.24% of Scotland's...

A new political organisation seeking cross party support has been founded to promote: While this is pretty vague, the organisation is in it's early stages. I just thought I'd start a thread on it. For less tribal folk wanting politicians and parties(seemingly primarily of the centre and left...

Rumour is that the attempt by Labour MP's to force their leader, Jeremy Corbyn, to resign, is over.(Will be a story on it in tomorrows Telegraph I think?) I'm not sure what that means. Either the rebels have settled on splitting.(10%) Or settled on having a leadership contest, losing, and then...

Not sure where the negotiations could go next. I wasn't really sure what the most recent offer was; I seem to remember a deal involving full implementation of the governments plans, but with a two year review into the changes effects on the NHS, were rejected by the government. Perhaps Jeremy...

It seems no matter where you reside in the UK, some form of election is going down on the 5th of May. I though it would be productive to post a reminder. I had written a load of stuff out, but I found these helpful little videos which cover it better than me: I hope this reminder, and...

I've got an appointment to talk to a doctor tomorrow. I did get a family member to phone for an ambulance, but as I started to recover during the call we were told to phone the non-emergency line. Though I'm seemingly fine now, I'm pretty shaken up. Also a bit worried about reoccurrences...

The site feels like it's changed quite a lot in such a short space of time. I've never seen anything quite like it, but I have been on many forums over the last decade, and feel like I might share a few thoughts that may help defuse the tensions here: 1) It's probably best to avoid posts that...

I'm not too interested in discussing the referendum itself, but what has caught my interest is the idea I've seen some folk espouse that David Cameron will have to step down if Britain votes "Out". Do you guys think that such would be the case? I mean...I don't see much point. He would...

I honestly haven't been paying too much attention to the 2016 presidential race, but something odd has been happening over the last week or two. I think...*sigh*...I think I want Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination. Don't get me wrong, I disagree with him on most things(often...

Well looks like NASA has something to share with the world related to the Kepler Telescope. The Livestream is set to start in about eight minutes. The immediate speculation is that they may have found a Earth-like planet. While I want to believe such is the case, I will try not get to excited...

Just though this was a decent idea for a light-hearted thread. Anyone here use Ubuntu? Or have had experiences with it/Linux? I had messed around with a number of Ubuntu and I think one or two other Linux distributions two years or so ago, booting via a USB drive. I really liked the...

Boundary changes The Conservatives are set to change the boundaries to be more in their favour, as Labour used to benefit from the current one. EU Referendum The pro-EU parties will be punished by the electorate for having to openly voice support for the unpopular EU to try and sway the...
