It is also the OS.

Windows doesn’t let you have a Steam Deck experience because its against the ToS. Once you don’t care about the user experience, why would you care about the HID?

So let me understand the proposal. We merge MP regions so each Labour/Tory candidate is running against their respective Labour/Tory candidate in another region in addition to the opposition in their opponent’s in their existing constituency?

I assume the purpose of this system is it allows an independent to capture votes from multiple areas, so fringe groups will get minor representation instead of the least popular candidate from the major parties?

[Edit] And if you only have a candidate in your area for your favourite party doesn’t tow the line and is marginally racist, you can vote for another candidate for that party that fits your taste?

Glad you enjoyed the suggestion!

Fuck.

Thames Water planning on fucking us over the most. But remember that Thames water haven’t paid out a divided since the Aussie owners pillaged them and sold it to the Saudis.

In a very narrow definition of dividends that doesn’t include paying out to the Saudis.

We need Labour to put aside its refusal to work with other parties in the same way the French coalition did.

LibDems and Greens got more votes than Reform, and in 2015, 2017 and 2019 Labour and LibDems had a combined popular vote greater than the Tories although how that would shake out with FPTP is debatable.

People might consider LibDem to be further right than Labour, but their policies have always been pro-LGBT+, pro-green policies, pro-EU, pro-electorial reform, essentially the opposite of Reform.

[Edit] The cost of them not playing together will be far greater.

I found ITX did, it did restrict my options however with my Ryzen 5 and RX6650 XT I can play everything at full detail and high resolutions. Linux is awesome with AMD hardware.

Looks like one of the 8-Bit Do ultimate controllers. I don’t recognise the stick/body colour combination, my black ones were just black

If materials are not easy to access, then it won’t scale cheaply.

I don’t even know how STV would work for electing MPs. That’s for electing groups of people?

AV to rank the candidates would make sense, unless I completely misunderstand STV.

As per the initial comment, those that didn’t vote Tory mostly moved to Reform not to LibDem.

Because LibDem wouldn’t make sense, as a pro-trans, pro-EU, pro-increase tax to pay for public services party they don’t offer anything that Tories want.

That was a wishful thinking comment that some Tories might want to not move far-right, those that find the Tories unpalatable due to their shitty views have already moved.

I would suggest that your more likely to find folks who voted LibDem to move to Green now that they’ve rebranded themselves to something other than crusty hippies. I know my mother moved from voting LibDem to Green.

LibDems? We did vote for AV, and the 51% idiots voted against it.

AV for Commons, PR for the Lords replacement.

Ah, but these numbers come from this past election.

If we had PR then people would be more likely to vote Green because you don’t have to be tactical. Your vote goes to a Green seat, rather than voting for another party to keep Tories out.

significant share who’ll vote Lib Dem or Tory, but not Labour

Citation required for that.

The Liberal Party, which is now the modern LibDems, was founded as opposition to the Tories. Their values are completely different, which is why most LibDem voters were concerned about the coalition.

Labour was founded to represent workers rights, the Greens for the planets rights, and the LibDems for social rights.

The Tories are toxic for all three of those.

LibDems made smaller gains

I’m not talking about gains, LibDems already split the vote, Reform is just now doing the same to the Tories.

LibDems are not the same as the Tories. However I would concede that if the LibDems folded, the membership could easily move to Green.

How do you convince the EU to let us back in?

We’ll need a couple of Labour terms before they’ll answer the phone.

By that statement though, the LibDems split the left vote and so if your going to compare, you’ll need to add the liberal vote to the Labour as that’s where they would go if LibDems disappeared.

We already have the left wing vote split by Labour, Lib Dem and Green.

If you want to claim the 36%, you’ll need to add up the left wing parties together.

That Haribo bit was weird.

And Ed Davey is far too much fun to be an MP!

It’s a shit picture.

They’ve also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don’t make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.
