Since so many people love to come on here and make confident predictions, why not join the mixedbcouple brier score game and prove how good your predictions are?
Here are the rules:
1. The winner gets their expenses paid to attend a swinging club of their choice
2. You must make at least 30 predictions to qualify to win
3. The winner is the user with the best brier score when the game ends
4. All predictions must be made publically, in the forum (no PM bollucks) and must be expressed in percentages.
5. We will keep track of the scores and publish them periodically
6. Only questions posted by us will count
Round 1 questions, answer as many as you like:
- what is the probability that article 50 will be invoked before 1st January 2017?
- what is the probability that the pound will buy more than 1.5 US Dollars on the 19th December 2016?
- what is the probability there will be a general election before 1st January 2020?
- what is the probability that another EU member will announce a new referendum on EU membership before 1st January 2017?
- what is the probability that before 1st if January 2020, the NHS will cease to be free at the point of use?
- what is the probability that Jeremy Corbyn wins a general election before 1st January 2020?
- what is the probability that the Labour party divides into two parties before 1st April 2017?

Obviously people are busy with their excel sheets calculating. It definitely wouldn't be the case that people, especially the corbyn fans, don't want to play because of what it might expose about their ability to predict events... |

We won't get the prize until 2020. Cheeky. |

Nah, the game ends when we say it does / when it gets boring. As long as there are 30 separate predictions to make the brier score then we can select a winner at any point. |

Wait? The questions are about probability. Do you measure wether our probability is right or not? That is hard to measure. The outcome is it happens 100% or it doesn't 0%. 50/50 would mean I win either way. Unless they are of course cascading events. |

Got it. 50% probability and it happens gives you a lower score than a 100% probability. |

Some scores wouldn't be counted until 2020, that is correct.
You are making binary yes, no predictions. Sometimes you will get the answer 'wrong'. But if 7/10 times you say there is a 70% probability of an event happening, it does - then your score would be perfect.
So I said there was an 80% probability of remain in Brexit. I'm only 'wrong' if more or less than 2/10 of my 80% predictions don't happen. |

"Bugger. Mind blown. I hate statistics. Goes back to big data and analytics day job."
It was mainly an experiment to see who actually had the balls to play since some people just want to endlessly debate Brexit or make wild predictions about Corbyn etc. But worth funding a trip to a club to find out... |

Personally I'm itching to see HornyAs2016 and CLCC go head to head. Since they've already debated Brexit more than Cameron and Farage did. |

It's a human trait to only be interested in short-termism!.
Many corporate giants actually take climate change more seriously than individuals BECAUSE there game plan is long term predictions for profit....I mean Google didn't spend billions years ago filming streets just for nosey neighbours, I predict electric driverless taxis within ten years will be common place.... In fact I'd go 90% on that one  |

Oh you can see the bias coming through in a shining light!!.
.
.
Article 50! They've already said there won't, so you'd need something big to push them, low chance.
Pound dollar tricky one, on one hand you've got the pound with the obvious problems it's got and on the other you've got the dollar with the obvious problems it's got(it's the world reserve and the most indebted) that's why I went 40%
Nhs not much chance, the public mindset is firmly agaist privatisation and charging, again low chance, despite my thoughts of a long term Tory government
Jeremy corbyn, he's not got it. Full stop,again little chance.
Labour party.... There in disarray, there not doing anything united in the next at least 7 years again high chance of them splitting because there just ideologically split.
Referendums in Europe! Again the timetable you put made that a small one, it's not that I don't think somebody will, I just think it will take longer than the timetable you put, so again a low one.
.
.
.
I'm not ideologically driven anymore, I'm looking for reasons! |

Repatriation will be the big problem in the next ten or fifteen years, many UK "natives" have fled for various reasons, I predict there'll be trying to return in large numbers over that period... Australia will be the first of the big repatriates |

You think that Australia will kick them out, or that they will return of their own free will to an independent nation that has thrown off the yoke of the European Empire?  |

I should point out that the Nhs question implies a significant change from the current model that would presumably involve a form of insurance. You may revise your prediction if you like? |

Australia has problems that could impact it quite hard in the coming decade, people have a tendency to return to the "mother land" for various reasons when things turn for the worse in the country they've emigrated too |

OK on that basis I will say that because the NHS is such a political hot potato the current Government will not add any charges before 2020.
Can I add a comment? Sadly all that does is pass the pain further down the years. The NHS needs a radical rethink of its funding and cost base. A new Government should start by getting rid of the horrific PFI costs inflicted by that fucking moron Gordon Brown trying to hide his excessive expenditure with the PFI sleight of hand. That would at least give the NHS a breathing space and restore the NHS Estate to taxpayer ownership. (Same with schools as well as it happens). |

"Since so many people love to come on here and make confident predictions, why not join the mixedbcouple brier score game and prove how good your predictions are?
Here are the rules:
1. The winner gets their expenses paid to attend a swinging club of their choice
2. You must make at least 30 predictions to qualify to win
3. The winner is the user with the best brier score when the game ends
4. All predictions must be made publically, in the forum (no PM bollucks) and must be expressed in percentages.
5. We will keep track of the scores and publish them periodically
6. Only questions posted by us will count
Round 1 questions, answer as many as you like:
