I have modelled how different voting systems would perform with zero tactical voting using favourability data from the British Election Study. All the voting systems I have modelled would be achievable with electoral reform in this parliament, as they do not require boundary changes beyond...
@georgemonbiot.bsky.social you'll be interested in this, too.
Proportional Representation needs a ranked choice element to damage Reform UK proportionately to how much voters dislike them.

Hi @ashleyjkirk.bsky.social
I've just read your Polanski effect piece.
If you look into the effects of tactical voting on Green Party support, it's very possible they are at least in 2nd on voter support by now. The guardian reported on a preferential poll in October with these numbers...

With all the gabble about how a vote for the Green Party would let in Reform, so you must vote Labour in Gorton and Denton, remember how that argument played out in Caerphilly. Plaid won by a substantial margin a seat everyone predicted would fall to Reform.

Unbelievable that Keir Starmer would rather throw away votes for years to come in the north of England than have Andy Burnham as an MP. Nothing annoys northerners more than southern politicians in London telling us what we should do.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE
The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast
The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side
He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot
That’s murder
