The same one you know from that other (formerly) Blue app

"Why not be bolder if the political price is likely to be the same?"
I feel like that system would fall apart quickly

Something like List PR for electors, and exhaustive ballot in the Electoral College would work better (as it would force parties/presidential candidates to court other lists in their campaign and post-campaign, whilst preventing deadlock)

Labour government with 400 seats can’t raise income tax to invest in public services. Someone hook up Attlee to a generator

Lmao, what a journey that man has been on

LibSoc to NATO shill to Far-Right activist

It'll either be the best, or worst government we have had in recent years

And it depends on if the Lib Dems and Greens stick to their ground, or compromise towards Labour's positions

Yea

That works in a very polarised two party system, which is not the case for the UK at all anymore

Voters on the left of Labour and the Tories would be willing to vote Lib Dem or Greens instead. They could be squeezed but only if an election is close (which current polling doesn't indicate)

What? I'm genuinely trying to work out what your point is

Yes, the poll is accurate

Yes, Labour have declined in support over the last year

No, I don't have short memory

Yes? I do believe it

A party becoming less popular and another party becoming more popular is a normal part of politics

This would be like a Tory still insisting their first actually in December 2022

Yea, this constitution is either going to survive in name only, or is going to need to be completely rewrote when this regime is over

(TBF, the joke that got Kimmel was more to do about Trump, since he was making fun of Trump's apathy about Kirk's death)

It's the complete lack of situational awareness that really throws me off. A lot of people have always put fame before safety, but it was never as bad as it is in the internet age.
