The U.K. government has reportedly told President Trump he must not meet Brexit architect and former U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage when Trump visits the U.K. later this month. The U.K. Daily Telegraph, citing a source within the British government, reports that 10 Downing Street made it clear that Trump “must not meet Farage” during his working visit to the U.K. on July 13.

How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

University of Chicago Law School, John M. Olin Law & Economics Working Paper No. 60
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 107, Number 6, Part 1, pp. 1163-1198, December 1999
Abstract:
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
President Trump can visit whom ever the hell he wants to visit with!
The UK government can go pound sand!
Our U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to associate with the people of your choice. Apparently, Brits don’t enjoy that right.
They must not know The Donald. Making such a pompous, condescending statement that the American President is expected to obey, is only going to make Mr. Trump want to do it anyway, center stage.
Mr. Trump seems to like pushing back against ‘prevailing wisdom’ every so often. Recall all the advice he gets to never even think of meeting with Mueller.
Yet, Mr. Trump still dangles the possibility that he may do it anyway.
Demand to meet with Tommy Robinson then.
The Brits need a bloody revolution. Their government is tyranny defined.
Trump can appoint Farage his special representative to monitor UK performance in getting caught up on their NATO defense spending promises.
Since when does the British government tell the POTUS who he can or can’t meet with? Last I heard, they’re the jr associate in the “special relationship.”
The only response to such an edict is “REALLY?” ... And a hearty laugh.
Don’t worry. The muzzles will take care of them.
Air Force One extra passenger? lol
I guess they forgot how bad we beat them last time.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
My thoughts exactly. Trump visit in public or private whoever he wants. If not, then UK is not the ally they claim and we should say so.
He should absolutely meet with Tommy Robinson. America’s communist class is showing by the day that only their lapdog media is keeping their heads above water. It’s time for them to feel it in Britain as well.
Like they like to say, there’s a revolution going on. But it isn’t theirs.
Walking down the steps from AF1 with Nigel would certainly be an entertaining moment.
On a state visit,maybe his choices are limited—but he can invite Farage here.
.
OK, I know it is England and all, where they can imprison a person for merely speaking the truth....
But I don’t think they can tell Trump (or even a peasant like me) who the heck he (or I) can talk to.
Clint Eastwood is a Gemini like Trump, if you believe in astrology at all. So is Bob Dylan.
I am, too.
People are always saying to Geminis: It would be so much easier and also more convenient for us if you would just conform and stop saying upsetting things to upset the status quo.
Just go along and do things like people before you did them instead of this new stuff.
Just conform.
Trying to pressure President Trump into not doing something he already planned to do is a surefire way to guarantee he will do it.
