In Australia, the UK, and clearly in Canada too, it's the other way around. Blue means conservative, red means liberal. We are all aware that Americans use a different terminology for many things, and feel no need to change our current setup.

That won't change in 2016.
Just for the sake of accuracy, in the UK, yes, blue means conservative but red doesn't mean liberal. Red means Labour, Socialist. Yellow means liberal.

That won't help you find her, Dive, but it's probably all for the best.

What makes tracking her down more difficult is that she is living in pre-1994 Britain before Blair took over the Labour Party. Nowadays, socialism in the UK's "red" party can be accessed by time machine only.

Dive was a lot younger pre-1994.

If we had a time machine, we could go back and check that.

As for "predictions for 2016", I predict that we won't do that, though.

2. Hillary will be first female US president.
Seems like the first two month this year brought record highs in temperature.

I am well Aware there was a thread in summer, but now would be the time for a new round.

In fact I am tempted to offer a prize for the Person predicting most efficiently. The prize will be a RHP Coffee mug delivered to the winner.

Rules:
At least two predictions.
The Person with the highest percentage of hits with non-trivial PRE-dictions wins.
The actual number of succesful predictions will be deciding at same percentage.

Seems like FMF could get a hit with the Leicster prediction.

Chelsea will get promoted back into the Premiership.

Leicester will win the Premiership for a second time.
So Leicester won, as to my information for the first time.

But the prediction still counts 😉
