Thankfully, we have independent boundary commissions in the UK, so American style Gerrymandering can't happen here. But the weaknesses in First Past the Post that allow things like Prop 50 to happen are just as present.
What can the UK learn from California’s Prop 50 gerrymandering plan?
A high-stakes fight is underway in the United States over redrawing the constituencies for the House of Representatives in Washington, DC. One flashpoint is California’s Proposition 50

The Senedd election next year will be held under a system no one wanted – the closed list system. ERS Cymru has developed a proposal to change the way we elect members of the Senedd, replacing the planned closed-list system with the Single Transferable Vote (STV).
Closed Lists were a misstep, cross-party STV bill would put the Senedd back on track

The ability of the far right to insist that their views - trans people are lying perverts, climate change is a hoax, immigrants are all thieving, raping scum - are necessarily legitimate & must be given a hearing is already a vast victory for forms of extremism beyond the pale not long ago.

What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

After more than nine months of President Trump using the federal government to impose his will on the U.S., elections across the country on Tuesday will offer the Democratic Party its biggest chance yet to assert its viability as a serious opposition party.
Elections Across the U.S. Will Test Democrats’ Momentum Ahead of 2026 Midterms
Democrats have no federal contests that would allow them to check President Trump’s power, but governors’ races, mayoral contests and referendums will test momentum and divisions in both parties.
