Truss Vs Sunak: Who Would Win?
The second anniversary of Boris Johnson's election triumph is around the corner and already the vultures are circling. The scraps of recent days have left him bloodied. Senior Tories aren't backwards in coming forwards with their (anonymous) criticisms of the rolling wreckage of the Johnson premiership, permitting speculation that another Tory leader is possible. Caught bang to rights for lying about the Christmas parties, and now nailed on the investigation into the Downing Street flat refurb, the end could come sooner than any of us think. Especially if the Tories lose next week's... read more

Democrats losing their grip on the Hispanic voteRuy Teixeira: The Democrats are steadily losing ground with Hispanic voters. The seriousness of this problem tends to be underestimated in Democratic circles for a couple of reasons: (1) they don’t realize how big the shift is; and (2) they don’t realize how thoroughly it undermines the most influential Democratic theory of the case for building their coalition. On the latter, consider that most Democrats like to believe that, since a relatively conservative white population is in sharp decline while a presumably liberal nonwhite population keeps growing, the course of social an... read more
