Aber ja: FPTP ist ungerecht. Problem ist: wer gerade an der Macht ist, ist nahezu ausschliesslich wegen FPTP an der Macht. Und der letzte Versuch das zu ändern war nicht populär

2024-07-05 15:00:44

- reply

Nein, das stimmt so nicht ganz. Stimmanteile sind wegen FPTP nur indikativ. Du kannst das taktische Wahlverhalten nicht einfach in eine Verhältniswahl 'umrechnen'. Reform hat den Tories geschadet, aber nicht so sehr wie es rechnerisch aussieht.

yes, but with anything proportional some people would've voted differently

2024-07-05 06:32:38

there is no gerrymandering in the UK, boundaries are set by an independent body. FPTP is the problem. And some parties have focused to take advantage of that

8 years ago, on 23 June 2016 I went out for a long and anxious walk, coming home and waking up the next morning to a devastating result and decline in the following years.
Today is the start of undoing the damage. But I don't expect miracles anytime soon. I also expect we need to be very vocal to keep Labour in check and prevent some of the uglier side we've got to see in the last weeks

This is one of the most influential elections in a generation, and all the choices are shit. Yet choose we (well, others than me) must make.

2024-07-04 18:30:32

I'm not allowed to vote, and in a way, I'm not too sad about that. I did not need to make the decision which evil is lesser than the others AND has a chance to actually get elected without splitting the vote to allow a definitely-worse Tory to win.
Never mind, I'm in a constituency where voting is futile anyway.

propaganda does work, tho. So I expect the results to be somewhat close to the polling - the uncertainty is how honest people are when asked (if they vote tactically)

2024-07-03 07:50:13

I think this election is mostly decided by who can be noticed less by the voters and Starmer has only been doing well while the attention was on Sunak. Now people do pay attention to him and the direction of the polling reflects that

Yes, Starmer, for the next three days, we all pretend we like you and will vote Labour.
But on Friday, we'll turn the heat on you. And it will be very hot indeed.

Bernhard Cornwell's Saxon Stories (adapted for TV as The Last Kingdom).
I like it and lots of people like the TV series, but I think it needs a bit of special interest for medieval history, but not too much, as it's only vaguely accurate. Also, all kinds of CN for medieval behaviour, violence and stereotypes.
It is a compelling dramatisation of the Creation of England focussing on one marketable main character who isn't historic at all.
Basically Sharpe, but for the 900s AD

I think I'm slowly getting immune to contrived drama in novels. I keep reading a series where the extremely competent hero starts the book living in peace and harmony and then goes on to do something extremely stupid, either getting outright banished or at least risking everything to then spend the rest of the book very competently fixing his and everyone's problems and living in peace. Until the next book.

changing your name while trans in the UK: you write it on a piece of paper with a witness, which takes 5 minutes (+ getting a new passport if that's your thing)
changing name in DE while trans with the new improved process: register in writing, 3 months mandatory wait, have a personal appointment with official register (in the place you were born?), the new name has to follow gender conventions, the number(!) of names must stay exactly the same. #SBGG
Did I get that right?

Got this stupid little animation playing in my head and since I got zero actual animation skills, I'm just gonna tell you about it:
You start with a small kinda rusty little engine, trying to start it a few times and it slowly stutters into action (maybe with a few hickups).
It then starts to warm up and run faster, slowly growing and getting beefier and faster, maybe some parts start to glow.
Suddenly the whole engine starts to turn around it's axle, turning into a spinning turbine,

Public transport isn't supposed to make money. It's not even supposed to break even. It's supposed to lose money and to be financed and extended from general taxes because it gives back way more than mere money.
And all the politicians know this because they keep building and maintaining streets for free
