I would say it is a deficit, yes. You're entitled to disagree, but I think any MP within the legislature having the power to introduce laws, not just...

Counterquestion: Why on Earth would they need to? There's no reason why every single legislative body also needs to have the power to introduce...

I don't normally like Peston but he has an excellent summary here. This is the consequence of months being wasted by delaying signing the agreement....

Terrible. Also shocking sharing of antivax fake news by some elements of the German media last night. Papers really ought to do a basic of due...

No it does not. You presuppose whatever you want to presuppose, I made no such claims. If you wish to make an argument then make an argument, I am...

There are mods that let you copy buildings, or repeat place tiles so you can lay down entire surfaces. But I always play unmodded myself, so I...

The question is wrong because its presupposes the truth of the position that your particular conception of democracy is the only true version of...

Mostly bored/disaffected youth who felt like destroying stuff, as far as I can tell. To be honest the majority of rioters probably isn't even...

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands ...

Blueprints are a good thing in Factorio and really helps you scale up. When I last played I downloaded a book of blueprints with t-junctions,...

Disliking the question doesn't make the question wrong. The European Parliament can't introduce its own laws, unlike the UK Parliament. The...

I've seen a lot of reports and data but don't have it to hand sorry. If I come across it again I'll share it here. Fine for a study, this isn't a...

Yes. The JCVI, MHRA and others have said they expect the effect of the booster to be STRONGER after a 12 week gap. Not weaker. Both data from the...

Clalit (a major Israeli HMO) released pre-publication data showing a 33% decrease in PCR positivity rate on days 14-18 post first dose, on about 200k...

Why would they argue that? It does require a supermajority. Congress does not have the power under the Constitution to declare someone unable to...

Rand, have you considered what the effect it can have on the effectiveness of the 2nd dose, once it finally does get administered? Because we don't...

Correct. If you rob a place for money that is not domestic terrorism. If you rob a place for a political cause that is domestic terrorism. If you...

Hopefully they'll argue that banning him from holding future office doesn't require a supermajority.

Here's hoping for a very loooong drawwwwn out trial. ;)

I know about them, and I've played with them a bit, but all my hypertubes are bidirectional, and they have issues often enough that I stopped using...

That is an excellent example of an attempt to beg the question. The Commission derives its democratic legitimacy from being appointed—through...

Biomass sucks. Train tracks took me ages to figure out. They're borked when hooking stations up, there's no getting around that. And I always have...

As I understood it, the places that are dangerous are all blacked out on the in-game map. I think there's only a few parts in there to the north and...

Not really. Pro rata for population and the UK's 5 million delayed is equivalent to 33 million delayed in the EU. Apparently like Pfizer in...

PS anecdotal but one of my friends is a doctor - lifelong Labour/Lib Dem supporter, hates Brexit, hates the Tories, hates Boris. Normally votes...
