I disagree. The meteoric rise of Reform indicates that a large part of the country is moving further right, not left. In contrast, the gains by Labour in terms of votes were not what I had hoped for. What turned this into a land slide was reform splitting the right wing vote.
We/you need to spend the next 5 years addressing that problem or there are indeed bad times ahead.
That's is NOT the year to fuck around. If Trump wins, the chance that he will declare himself president for life is WAY too high and apparently perfectly legal now.
The last time you posted this, I commented about all the reddit users that disappeared the day after the vote. I hate repeating myself, so here is a different anecdote.
During the campaign, many people - including yours truly - pointed out that if the admitedly mediocre change was rejected, the powers that be would argue that 'the people' had voted against change - any change. And that is exactly what happened https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-13297573.
...the referendum had delivered a "resounding answer that settles the question" over electoral change and people now wanted the government...
David Cameron (Prime Minister)
I personally believe that this result will settle the debate over changing our electoral system for the next generation.
Matthew Eliot (Leader of the No campaign)
You get exactly one chance at this. As Ru Paul likes to say, Do Not Fuck It Up.
We had the same arguments in the U.K. during the referendum to drop FPTP. Strangely, the people making those arguments on Reddit all disappeared the day after the vote. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I am convinced that was Russia!s proof-of-concept for what would become their information warfare against democracy.
OP, you are most likely genuine and good meaning, but understand that Russia, China, and many other bad actors want you to keep FPTP because it's so much easier for them to manipulate elections. Any argument against change, even if said change is not perfect, is in their favour.
Paternal grandma cooked a great roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Incidentally, she would - and I'm sure this was deliberate - massacre Lancashire hot pot. The war of the roses raged on until the late 20th century, in her mind at least.
Mum cooked a great schnitzel and cucumber salad with caraway seeds. The schnitzel was fried, I've never heard of a baked schnitzel before...
Fiance cooks too many great things to choose just one
The best vegan recipes are indian. You can certainly eat well as a vegetarian in London, but most places will have an indian restaurant with a few veggie choices.
I am a long-time Tumbleweed user. It's the most stable rolling release distro I've tried, so if you want that latest software, it's a great choice. I've not tried MicroOS yet, so I can't comment on that.
Simple: I fucking hate driving. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and I hate the stress. Thr environmental impact isnt exactly a plus point either. You could say that I'm lucky to live in a place with good public transport, but I actively sought out a place with public transport because I didn't want to rely on a car.
Final nail on the coffin: I developed Menieres disease, so I am prone to intense vertigo attacks at short notice - I couldn't get a license even if I wanted one.
