    @LordOfReason:

    OK. I've taken data on STD Prevalence from http://backgroundchecks.org/these-are-the-most-sexually-diseased-states-in-the-us.html and on how liberal/conservative a state is from http://www.newgeography.com/content/004120-the-geography-cultural-attitudes

    And you are right, there is a correlation*.

    The more conservative a state is, the higher the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases.

    I'm happy to send you the Excel sheet, or to try this same exercise using different measures of conservative/liberal, or do it on an international basis. Right now, however, the data not only does not support your contention (I thought it would be fairly random), but directly contradicts it.

    * Albeit a fairly weak one

    I have to ask. You have an outlier at about 60% liberal and 500 STD.

    Pause.

    Um, which state would that be?

    Brexiteers have issued a last-ditch threat to vote down the budget and destroy the government unless Theresa May takes a tougher line with Brussels — amid signs that she is on course to secure a deal with the European Union.

    Leading members of the hardline European Research Group (ERG) last night vowed to vote down government legislation

    I doubt they will follow through - Tories have betrayed the UK to the EU for decades now. It is in their DNA.

    But if there was ever a cause where a Tory MP would vote his own party out of office, it would be their PM locking us into the CU permanently and only able to leave with EU permission. This would be the greatest constitutional outrage committed in a century or more - and it just shows the Tory Cabinet for what it is that they would even consider it.
