Who will succeed David Cameron as Prime Minister of the UK?
All members of parliament are elected and then appointed by the monarch! Even republican Irishmen in Sinn Fein who never attend as they won't take an oath of loyalty to that monarch.

Party leaders elected by their party members is (by British standards) a recent phenomenon, especially by the Conservative party. Notionally the Queen could appoint whosever she wanted as Prime Minister but parliament would then promptly cut off the money supply until she saw sense.

In short both the monarch and parliament are sovereign. Effectively the monarch acts as a referee should more than one person appear to have the confidence of parliament; the last time this happened was in the early 1930s when various factions needed to be combined into a National (non-party) government.

Of course very little of this is written down; it's all a matter of convention.

@Mayank

We don't have fixed-term Prime Ministers; we now have fixed-term parliaments and it is from parliament that the monarch appoints the Prime Minister. It is important to understand that under the British system Prime Ministers can be forced out of office at any time - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiership_of_Margaret_Thatcher#Fall_from_power

I picked 2025 as Cameron would have been in power for an unprecedented 15 years by then; recent long-term holders of the post have been Thatcher and Blair both of whom were there for ten years and both of whom would have stayed longer if they had their own way.

The embattled leader, who has an acute respiratory illness and high fever, has already lost his prime minister Mykola Azarov, who resigned on Tuesday.

It is not clear how long Mr Yanukovich, 63, will be away from his desk.

The president, who does not have a history of illness, has strong backing in the parliament, and his absence could create a power vacuum.

Will Cardinal Sean Brady resign in the next 12 months?
This is the best summary I can find of the present situation....

http://www.thenewage.co.za/79144-1020-53-After_abuse_scandal_Pope_appoints_new_head_of_Irish_church

Pope Benedict on Friday appointed the new head of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland to succeed Cardinal Sean Brady, whose tenure has been plagued by scandal over the sexual abuse of children on the predominantly Roman Catholic island.

The Vatican said Monsignor Eamon Martin, 51, had been named "coadjutor" archbishop of Armagh, meaning he will automatically succeed Brady when he retires next year.

Brady, who will remain primate until his retirement, has resisted calls by three of the four main parties in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland's deputy first minister to resign over the sexual abuse scandal.

.... so it's neither one thing or the other OR it's both. How do we settle - or would voiding be best?

I the meantime I've suspended it.

The Vatican's move was seen as an attempt to give him a soft exit. While it spared him the embarrassment of stepping down before his scheduled retirement, he will effectively be sidestepped as Martin takes over the running of the diocese.

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/might-not-know-ftse-100-102500325.html

Although we're less than a week into 2013, this year has already scored two days of the FTSE above 6,000 -- which is two more days than 2012! (Other years that scored zero days since 1998 are 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009)

While two consecutive days above 6,000 is at least something -- especially as the index last breached 6,000 during July 2011 -- the FTSE still has a way to go to match its past consistency.

*My comment*
This is why I put the figure in the question at 6,060 rather than 6,000. I suspect there are a fair number of sellers once 6,000 has been breached.

Will Gu Kailai (wife of Bo Xilai) be found guilty of murdering Neil Heywood?
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/26/us-china-politics-bo-idUSBRE86P0KX20120726

(Reuters) - China will try Gu Kailai, the wife of ousted Politburo member Bo Xilai, on charges of murdering a British man, state media said on Thursday in the latest turn in a scandal that has rocked the government in Beijing and could bring Gu the death penalty.

The contentious dismissal of Bo has already shaken the Communist Party's looming once-in-a-decade succession, and now Gu and family aide Zhang Xiaojun will be prosecuted for allegedly poisoning businessman Neil Heywood last year over "conflict of economic interests", the official Xinhua news agency said.

"The facts of the two defendants' crime are clear, and the evidence is irrefutable and substantial," said the Xinhua report summarizing the indictment. "Therefore, the two defendants should be charged with intentional homicide."

Team Sky's world champion surged down the closing straight in Brive-la-Gaillarde to win the 222.5km stage ahead of Matt Goss (Orica-GreenEdge) and the green jersey Peter Sagan (Liquigas).

After his second stage win of an otherwise quiet race, Cavendish embraced team-mate Bradley Wiggins, the yellow jersey, who comfortably finished in the pack to preserve his lead in the general classification ahead of Saturday's final time trial to Chartres.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/28/us-newzealand-dotcom-court-idUSBRE85R08720120628

German national Kim Dotcom, also known as Kim Schmitz, was one of four men arrested in January as part of an investigation of his Megaupload.com website led by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Prosecutors say Dotcom was the ringleader of a group that had netted $175 million since 2005 by copying and distributing music, movies and other copyrighted content without authorization. Dotcom's lawyers say the company simply offered online storage.

On Thursday, High Court Judge Justice Helen Winkelmann found the warrants used in the seizure of property from Dotcom's mansion near Auckland were illegal and that moves by the FBI to copy data from Dotcom's computer and take offshore were also unlawful.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-ron-pauls-iowa-maneuvers-place-gop-in-awkward-position-20120616,0,3570263.story

DES MOINES — Rick Santorum won the Iowa caucuses in January, with Mitt Romney a close second, but neither was the true winner this weekend when the delegates who actually will vote at the Republican National Convention were selected. That would be Ron Paul.

The congressman from Texas finished a distant third in the Iowa caucuses more than six months ago, but of the 28 delegates selected Friday and Saturday to head to the national convention, 23 are Paul supporters – and they are not bound to support the victor of the state’s first-in-the-nation voting contest.

It’s part of a quiet strategy by Paul and his backers to amass an army of supporters at the GOP gathering in August in Tampa, Fla., to push Paul’s views on liberty, states' rights, the monetary system and foreign policy. By working arcane electoral rules and getting supporters into positions of power in local, county and state party operations, the strategy is paying dividends across the nation.

F1 teams expect Bahrain Grand Prix to be called off

A number of Formula 1 teams expect the Bahrain Grand Prix to be called off amid security concerns caused by civil unrest, BBC Sport has learned.

F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone says no teams have expressed concerns to him.

A statement from the Formula One Teams' Association on Tuesday said it was down to the FIA to cancel the race.
Teams will meet Ecclestone at the weekend when a decision is expected. However authorities remain confident the race will go ahead.

Who will win the London Mayoral election?
http://labour-uncut.co.uk/2012/03/23/ken-livingstones-crumbling-labour-flank/

Earlier this week YouGov released their latest London mayoral poll. While Boris Johnson’s 49%-41% lead on first preferences was widely reported, some of the most striking results were lost in the news vortex of the budget.

Chief among these is the scale of Ken Livingstone’s problem with Labour supporters: 31% say they will not vote for him in the mayoral election.

Just weeks before the election, almost 1 in 3 Labour supporters are refusing to back the party’s candidate for mayor.

Where will the winner of the (English) FA Cup come from?
Both 'Midlands & East' teams now eliminated so it's a straight bet between London's two teams and the North's four.

If Bolton beat Tottenham Hotspur and then beat Chelsea it will be an all-North final; otherwise this will go to the wire.
