Why would they include Frankfurt an der Oder but not Frankfurt am Main? I'm pretty sure they mean the latter and this graph is nonsense...

Not to be nit-picky, but I'm pretty sure they kicked him because they thought he was antisemitic, not because he was too left wing.

Liz Truss lost her seat because voters moved right, not because they thought Labour was a better option.

Let's celebrate today, but from tomorrow onwards, we need to address the far right lunatics head on.

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.

Still Mr. Clumsy.

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.

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.

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...
