Why you should be betting on President Marjorie Taylor Greene
PBers should be familiar with the concept of a trading bet and I think Marjorie Taylor Greene winning the presidency in 2028 falls into that category. Normally I would have expected her to court the hardcore MAGA types that believe George Soros funds Jewish space lasers that help illegal immigrants invade America and caused Covid-19 but as we can see in the above Tweets she appears to becoming de-radicalised. She might end building a coalition of voters, or she might…
I hope Nigel Farage is putting his money where his mouth is
I will ask again, how and why a government that was elected with a majority of 174 last year collapses three years later. Why would they go for an early election? I would not be backing a 2027 election even as a trading bet. TSE
The Reform paradox, being the country’s most popular and unpopular party

Getting squeezed like a Chippendale’s arse at a hen party
I have to be honest getting Andrew Cuomo endorsed by Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Elon Musk might not be sub-optimal for the Zohran Madami. But if that AtlasIntel poll is right then these endorsements have the potential to see the Republican candidate, Curtis Silwa’s vote squeezed like a Chippendale’s arse at a hen party then it could had Andrew Cuomo victory.

The Mid-Mid-Terms
It’s November. It’s not the midterms. Instead it’s the mid-midterms. When we see a couple of interesting elections. Let’s run through them shall we: New York Mayoral Election Communist/Democratic Socialist v Total Scumbag v Guardian Angel I think the Republicans could have won this. As it is, I suspect Mamdami takes it, especially given Trump’s decision to endorse the Total Scumbag. National readthrough level… low Virginia State Offices You know what happens whenever a new President is elected? The Virginia…
