Presidency of the council of the European Union but it's not an individual, rather a member country which rotates every 6 months. And the top dogs of the EU are the most powerful people in Europe? Laughable.

Yeh got that thanks. Will finish adding everything up tonight and get some polls sorted for tomorrow morning to start the voting off.

I'm really sorry guys, have had a nightmarishly busy bank holiday weekend (not much fun mostly work) so I'll get this organized and going tomorrow afternoon. We have 13 lists in, so probably just enough to make it worthwhile.

After HRC backtracked on her promise (shock) to debate Bernie in California it looks likely that he will instead debate Trump. Will be interesting.

Not neccessarily just lower rent prices, a stabilzed plan so they cannot be increased by ridiculous amounts. My friend has just had his rent upped by 33% for the simple fact that it's in a relatively central london location. New York has a well publicised rent control system which doesn't just...

Not worthy of its own thread, but the far right Freedom party candidate Hoffen has been defeated (just) in the second round of voting in the Austrian Presidential election. He was ahead yesterday before postal ballots were counted but Bellen, the ex green now independent, picked up more of these...
