This is the important point. If we have a first past the post system, then it makes a lot of sense to have, as far as possible, equally sized constituencies in population terms. But it also makes a lot of sense for constituency boundaries to correspond as far as possible, to natural or social...

What is an electoral role? Is it like a returning officer?

Good stuff - depending what the physio says, might make sense to request GP referral for X-ray/scan asap. For me the hop test was very clear (but I couldn't hop, full stop, let alone do the five that you did), but the academic literature is mixed on hop tests - see, for example...

I sympathise, from very real and recent experience. First: DO. NOT. RUN. Second. Get it checked out - you might have difficulty getting referred quickly for an MRI, but an X-Ray should be no problem. As another poster said, an X-ray may not show a stress fracture, so a clear X-ray isn't a...

This is (nearly) all true, but I don't see how it's an argument for government through referenda rather than through representative parliamentary democracy. All it means is that the political parties haven't yet caught up with the way the views of different groups in the population are evolving...

Correct - that's pretty much what I'm saying. Given that it's a package, and given that most of the other things in the UKIP package were not hugely controversial (and most of them overlapped with one or other of the main parties), but the main stand-out policy they had was EU-leaving, if...

No, not the only way - there is a political party that has always supported leaving the EU, and has a range of other policies, most of which can also be found in the manifestos of one or other of the main parties. So the main way in which that party stands out (indeed its main rationale for...

I see that our very own Attila will be hosting a Corbyn gig, in preference to supporting the Albion against Huddersfield tomorrow https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/keepcorbyn-hosted-by-pcs-tickets-25860799347 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It says "Allah y taqabel mina WA minkoum les frères musulmans" and there is an attached video which seems to show a picture of a man carrying a sheep in what looks like an African market

Whether I was in favour of remain or leave is not relevant to the point I was making. I entirely accept that, having had the referendum, and there being a majority to leave the EU, we have to live with that outcome, whether or not we voted for it ourselves. My point was about Cameron's judgement...

can anyone work out what Bong is on about in this tweet? https://twitter.com/GaetanBong/status/775310065322561536

You'd think so, but I wonder. If I remember correctly there was a massive 'remain' majority in Witney (around 70% for remain), so an opportunity for a classic LibDem by-election upset among disappointed Home Counties remainers?

12 if I concentrate, and move my eyes slowly down the page, but it's quite hard to see them all in one go.

So... he said he wouldn't resign as PM if he lost the referendum, then he did. He said, on stepping down as PM, that he'd remain an MP until the next election, and now he isn't. Not just a terrible PM, leading the UK into a wholly unneccessary referendum with all of the fallout from that, but...

I always stay to the bitter end, however awful the game. But that's what I'm like; I tend to finish things I've started - I always read a book to the end, even if it's not doing much for me, I never walk out of a film, if I'm running a race I always keep going however much my legs hurt and...

Your point is still valid though - I queued up before the match at the counter at the south end of WSU for 20 mins: no vegetarian pies or anything hot without meat; suggested I try the counters in the centre of WSU; same story, long queue no joy. Came out a couple of minutes before the whistle...

They definitely had veggie pies in WSU at half time, because I bought two Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not convinced by these clever short corners - if they're going to do them they need to rehearse them better, i.e not just the first and second move, but the third and fourth too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From where I sit (WSU just in line with the goal) it looked as if it had, just, but what do I know... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
