Turning Python and UK elections into Democracy Club, from Stroud

Yeah, I think that's the same CGR process as we talk about here. Can be changing names and or boundaries. In theory this is tracked by OS, but they do miss some

"Data" is seen too much as "publishing a book" rather than "running a service". Thinking it's something that can go in a "library" shows how deep this thinking goes.

We're really lucky in this country that gerrymandering is basically not a thing

Very doubtful: they are minor enough changes. You're right that it's hard to prove, but I would bet that the changes have never altered the outcome of a local election.

Effective end to the open register (good! It's a weird legacy of when voting rights were restricted and was open so you could challenge. Now just a weird privacy thing that has a lot of outputs)

This feels a bit like when they got Universal Credit to use Verify in order to boost the number of people using that service's stats. Is "more people use the latest login system" the KPI for this app?

Hopefully they use web push etc (PWAs) as well as a native app

Seems like I need to make an account in order to do anything in the "GOV.UK" app.

I have no reason to do that, so I'll uninstall until I have a reason.
