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?"

Someone has reminded me this app exists, so 4 months later, I guess I'm back? So hi again

It doesn't even make a lot of sense! Sadiq Khan has, at best, been a very middling Mayor for London and will still win because London's a Labour city Odd choice overall

Honestly surprised that Starmer U-Turned on this, since he said he wouldn't be doing a leaving list Not surprising though, but still a bit odd to go back on this, especially for Sadiq

The fact a lot of people don't properly understand supply and demand is always really surprising to me A lot of people can't understand that more housing = lower prices

I need to stop underestimating myself more smh I sent in an essay which I thought was absolutely awful, not a lot of sources, poor analysis etc etc Turns out, actually no. It's a great essay and I got 65% on it (a 2:1, the second highest grade in the UK uni system) :) ?

I guess, but 2PP is done between the top two parties And you could project a ALP-ONP 2PP if you ask respondents to rank their preferences, or you just ask a simple 2PP question for this scenario while doing the poll Plus as we see in the UK, it's not inevitable voters swing back
030
Garth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @thatgarthguy.bsky.social · 01/02/2026
Still odd they did a 2PP between ALP and L/N Coalition Since the coalition has split in two, and importantly ONP is ahead of the coalition now (so the 2PP should be between them and ALP)

I'm going to Nintendo post again, so deal with it, but Honestly, I think that Nintendo should allow people to share their Miis between each other (a la Miitopia) Would rock if we were able to do that, since I know a bunch of people are going to be way more creative with the creator than I can be

Quick question If you have played Mario Kart World, have you ever tried to create an "Around the world" kind of race? (ie. do a race of every single track in order, with it being from one race to another)

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)

Catholic Priests and Bishops are usually meant to stay out of the politics of their country The fact that they're intervening here, and speaking out against what's going on in the US, is truly something interesting.

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

Garth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @thatgarthguy.bsky.social · 04/10/2025
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)

A politician who embodies the current direction of the Tory party: a supporter of all the big policy shifts of 2016-24, who literally worked in Downing Street, who has decided oh, no, it is actually the fault of the immigrants. No, it’s your fault!

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
