Wrong. We did exactly what you suggest in the U.K. Any kind of PR is off the table for at least a generation here.

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.

I'm interested in what their reasoning was for banning Maus - I certainly don't recall any sex or amti-christian material.

I dunno, but I'd want to wear leather gloves - those claws look vicious.

But... Firefox has a history feature that would serve her purpose much better?

I'm not American, but my 0.02€... this might be a good outcome if it's easier to defeat her at the general compared to a more moderate republican.

That's also a good thing - eating less milk and beef is also good for the environment. Less demand means fewer cows, means fewer cow farts...

Mostly, he's been doing the dirty work for Russia.

Fucking hell...

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.

  • Maternal grandma died before I was born.
  • 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

Yeah... I've very mixed feelings about this. On paper, wikileaks was a force for good, but it got taken over by far right/Russian assets.

Any idea when this will hit tumbleweed? I'm really looking forward to this release!
