Going to be interesting. Salary cap increasing but value of TV contracts not (maybe even falling) due to low viewing figures. Teams will have to balance values of positions. Do they go all in on a QB or get a decent one but pay for the weapons or protection he needs? Teams already top heavy...

Just seems to be heading to a basketball scenario where a few key players are taking up big% of budget and a lot of cheap padding around them. Like the recent draft pattern. Nearly all draftees will get signed and replace 3rd/4th year players who would be in line for pay increases.

DEs moving into QB wages territory again. Lawrence getting 105m over 5 years from the Cowboys.

So basically what Cameron tried to sell before Rees-Mogg and pals wanted a referendum. Even now only partly right. Could veto a long term budget but if they put a 1 year budget up until uk gone then it goes to QMV.

I have an adopted Hungarian daughter. Married an Italian. Moved to Austria when her kids were 9 and 6. Both boys fluent in Hungarian, Italian, English and German. Got several "mixed" nationality coupled friends all of whose kids are speaking Hungarian and 2 parents native languages fluently...

Would have thought the key figure for all parties (particularly with a highly charged issue in the news) is the turnout - 37.1%.

Think many sides will struggle with middle order (and runs in general). Batting cupboard across the board is thin. Quite a few counties promoting young players (many on the back of one-day performances) Plus the usual issue of CC being played in least friendly conditions for batting at both ends...

Difference is "hard left" is no longer what it used to mean. In common parlance traditional Socialist policies are seen as being to the "hard left" because in comparison to the rest of the Labour party this is how they are seen. Can make the same argument about the Tories in that they are far...

It's going to be a struggle without Bell. Clinging to faint hope that (like last season) youngsters improve through season. Much of early part of last season we were hammering the openers but certainly had grown into by end of season

Quite simple that one. Unable to adopt too many hard left policies atm as majority of Labour just to the left of centre. In a new multi party system you don't think a harder left party would emerge ( as has done in just about every other PR system) ? Plenty of internal differences in current...

Making a broad assumption that multiple new parties would spring up. Not likely multiple parties really come to the fore in UK euro elections with the list system. Would the hard right leave the Tories, would the hard left leave Labour? One fairly common theme of that type of PR is that govt...

Come to Hungary you'll find the Prime Minister shooting at pictures of Soros :)

Corbyn, :)

It makes no sense in a "modern democracy" to have a wholly unelected 2nd chamber. Only one apart from Canada I think. However I would only have a fixed % of the Lords elected in as much as it shouldn't become a rubber stamp for the Govt of the day, I'd retain a % of crossbenchers to provide a...

Actually atm probably not the answer. a minority govt being held to ransom by a small party has not gone well.

An enigma Boris Johnson. Something Trump-like about him. Struggle to see why he's popular and with whom but he seems to be. Nobody really knows what he stands for as he does like a U-turn. Like trump is he eccentric or bordering on some sort of psychological disorder? Does he play the clown...

AAF about to fold even before 1st season completed

This is where it finds itself in conflict. Few states want (or indeed could sell to their electorates) much further integration (certainly beyond tinance & trade) or surrendering of powers but this is what Brussels has increasingly been asking for. The push for an EU army, for example, already...

Already have under funded banks for Green initiatives and start-ups etc. Key issue was to make sure it wasn't competing in any areas directly covered by commercial banks due to competition regulations. Primarily lends money to commercial banks to lend to people/projects. As much about getting...

It was obvious they weren't in an overly strong position to negotiate. Everyone had been told Cameron had failed to achieve much when he tried to renegotiate with EU before calling a referendum. BTW he did have some success with limiting further political integration of EU, limiting benefits for...
