A reaction which could work for the White House or Your Party, although I'm less concerned about YP's impact on international security, global trade, climate change action...

Why have some languages switched to tungsten and others stuck with wolfram, and would a Dutch speaker understand what tungsten is (at least, that it's an element)?

I looked at Radlett first as I expected it to be an anomaly and wasn't disappointed (although I would be if I were trying to buy there).

What if constituencies had a (very roughly; I aimed for ~3500 km²) equal land area?
(The Wash / Essex areas and Dorset + Taunton / Hampshire + Salisbury should be separate; I just didn't notice the colour)

I'm not enthusiastic about the prospect of outsourcing so much of the electoral process to AI, but if it were just pointing to more reliable sources, it would be an improvement.

![The European Union will be a vital part of how we, as a country, meet those challenges, so it is therefore more than disappointing that the Prime Minister’s deal has failed to address a single one of those issues. Last week, like him, I was in Brussels meeting Heads of Government and leaders of European Socialist parties, one of whom said to me—[Hon. Members: “Who are you?”] [Laughter.] No. What they said—[Interruption.] The Conservative party might care to think for a moment about what is going on. One person said to me, and I thought it was quite profound, “We are discussing the future of a continent and one English Tory has reduced it to the issue of taking away benefits”—from workers and children. The reality is that this entire negotiation has not been about the challenges facing our continent or about the issues facing the people of Britain. Indeed, it has been a theatrical sideshow about trying to appease—or failing to appease—half of the Prime Minister’s own Conservative party.
