Summary: <p>This week we figure out the process for joining the EU (hey, it might be important soon), and discover if the conventional wisdom that winter weather is bad for election turnout is actually nonsense. Plus we learn about a Prime Minister who went to Europe, got a deal, and was then turfed out of office in less than a year... it happened in the 18th century. Plus a look at a new podcast based on an amazing dataset: The log books of an LGBT helpline from the 1970s and 80s.</p> <p>***<a href="https://patreon.com/poddelusion">Join our Patreon and support a voice of sanity in a world that has gone mad.***</a></p> <p>Follow The Pod Delusion on <a href="https://twitter.com/poddelusion/">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PodDelusion/">Facebook.</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/psythor/">Follow your host, James O'Malley, on Twitter.</a> You can email him on psythor(at)gmail.com with any comments or queries!
