still gives roughly a 50 seat advantage to the tories

Is that a 50-seat plurality or a 50-seat majority?

The peak-to-trough part of the business cycle is an outlier. Carnot would have died laughing.

Re: Europe (none / 1)

Thats a 50 seat absolute majority, over the entirety of all other parties put together. If it got just into the narrowly hung parliament, where the Ulster Unionists were the extra lump to push the Tories over the top, then that I think could be the Biggest threat to the NI peace process.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
