As the year comes to a close, here's a quick update on party performance (1918 - 2024)

Both parties in a fairly consistent state of decline

It's frustrating how many 'centre-left' journalists are simply parroting the Labour line wrt their latest streak of mass deportations
Especially when this story flew under the radar a couple of months ago, it's like nobody gives a shit about injustice anymore (or ever did)

Weird seeing right-wingers upset about this, when Green MP Ellie Chowns says we should prioritise our values over Trump's values
Why do so many "patriotic" conservatives want us to be a US vassal state with no independent foreign policy?

Yesterday, Labour voted alongside the DUP, UUP, Nigel Farage and 18 Conservatives in favour of keeping bishops in the House of Lords (as part of the hereditary peers bill)
Ex-Labour independents also voted in favour
Strange coalition.

It's hard to see from this map of the Obec (commune/municipality) results of yesterday's election, but the neo-fascist ĽSNS party did win a single village in central Slovakia
42.4% of the vote in a place called Hrlica 😵💫
Hitler particle ground zero ??

The Slovak polling moratorium comes into effect soon so I guess it's time to start predicting the outcome of this (very close) election
Here's how the result might look if Smer maintains a ~1% lead over PS
🌹 Smer: 35
#️⃣ PS: 33
🗣️ Hlas: 24
♦️ Republika: 13
👥 OĽaNO+: 13
🟩 SaS: 11
🟨 KDH: 11
