prefect posted:I wish we had bookies like you guys do. What do those odds mean? forkboy84 already explained it accurately, but to put in non-betting terms a 6/1 means six against to one in favour, meaning if we imagine a large number of predicted future timelines, for every 6 timelines where the event doesn’t happen there’s 1 where it does. you can get the probability as a fraction by taking the number after the colon as the numerator and using the sum of both as the denominator. so in this case 6/1 means a probability of 1/(6+1) or ~14% of course, if the bookmaker gave you perfectly fair odds they’d never make any money, which is why people get two different sets of odds based on how they bet with the odds tilted in favour of the bookmaker. someone betting on the meaningful vote this year gets 6/1 odds, so they get paid 6 times their bet if they win and they get their stake back. but someone betting against that outcome gets 1/12 odds, meaning if they win they only get their stake plus 1/12. the reason the two odds aren’t the inverse of each other (e.g. 6/1 and 1/6) is because the bookie needs to get their cut; the odds offered to someone betting that the event will happen treat the events probability as more likely than in reality (bc safer bet = less payout), and the opposite for the odds for people betting against. so we can assume that the bookies actually think the probability of a meaningful vote this year are somewhere between 1/7 and 1/13, or in Nate silver terms between 7.69% and 14.28%, or roughly 1 in 10.

Wow if this plays out like people are hinting and the EU do deploy peace keeping troops to Ireland, the UK will for the first time have a border with armed troops from another 'regime'. I can;t wait to see how people spin that.

I can;t wait to see how people spin that. not to burst your bubble but Ireland already has a (very small) army and has had one since independence dont get too excited about the defence minister thing, what he's saying is that no deal would be bad for british security for numerous reasons, and he's saying it because May needs absolutely every cabinet member going full blast in favour of her deal. for what its worth the labour-friendly uk political people i pay attention to now believe no deal is the most likely outcome. the argument against this is that there's no parliamentary majority for no deal, but that doesn't matter if there's no majority for any other outcome because no deal is the default outcome of invoking article 50. as with all legislatures, parliament's default position is to do nothing and unfortunately that means not defusing the ticking time bomb strapped to the UK's economy

He's not saying that at all. The current no-deal plan is to use the army to handle logistics and security. He is saying that they are not equipped to handle either of these tasks, something people have been pointing out since the plan became public (They simply don't have the manpower)

So renegotiation is off the table now? Does that prevent someone like Corbyn from somehow winning and then trying to do his own Brexit deal? Did Juncker play both the Tories and Labour here at the same time?

Fallen Hamprince posted:lmao may went to brussels with hat in hand and got a proverbial car door slammed on her proverbial dick There isn't much point in giving may concessions, all that would accomplish is that the MPs that are pushing for rejecting the deal in order to renegotiate feel empowered to do that, it won't help the deal pass.

But yeah, we've not had to worry about customs for most visitors from Europe since 1973, when we joined the EEC as it was then called.
