The next year, I said to hell with tactical, voted Labour in a seat they had never won and Labour went and bloody did it. So loving vote Labour if you think you should or shouldn't I voted Lib Dem in Diane Abbott's constituency because I didn't know anything about her and I hated New Labour. -mania got me good. Thankfully Diane's majority is untouchable And because I later moved away, I never got another chance to vote for her Edit: My fourth snipe today, what the hell? 321 is a pleasing sequence of numerals.

Paid political advertising for the Pissflaps Party, led by a person who legally changed their name to Not Corbyn. Flagship policy: pedantry classes in all schools. The good kind of Pissflaps party is the kind where he's not invited

Comrade Fakename posted:If by “we” you mean Momentum, then it’s actually me who’s running the investigation. And the stuff in this thread about Best for Britain is better than most of the stuff we’ve got so far (I don’t want to slag anyone off, everyone’s volunteering and trying their best). So if anyone wants to summarise what’s found in this thread (I don’t understand what the code stuff is about), I’ll make sure it goes to the right people. If you open Chrome Developer Tools when you stick your postcode into getvoting.org, you'll see a request for a file containing the recommendations. That's this file here, and it's keyed by constituency code. Meanwhile the Excel file here has the 2017 results, again keyed by constituency code. My script grabs both files, cleans them up, then nails them together to see which party's constituencies have which recommendations. Each row on this chart corresponds to a different party's 2017 constituencies. Each column corresponds to a different 2019 recommendation. So you can read off from the 'Labour' column that only Labour constituencies have Labour recommendations, while the Lib Dem recomendations come from all major parties.

There was a post a bunch of pages back asking how worthwhile getting involved with Momentum was. They had their big reveal of their campaigning strategy tonight and somehow they're looking to go bigger than 2017. I think unless all your Momentum branches are poo poo for miles around, it's worth chucking your lot in with them if you want to contribute to the ground game.

The Lib Dems probably thought they were being subtle and clever by not recommending people vote Lib Dem in all Labour-held constituencies too. Only the Lib Dems can beat the Tories in Islington North!

Something I've just noticed is that file has a ShowMRP field, and when it's zero - when no MRP prediction is shown - all the recommendations are Lib Dem or None. That might be your smoking gun, but it's too late for me to check programmatically.

If anyone does want to suggest a tactical voting site to any friends, https://tactical.vote seems to be not full of poo poo, and displays the actual 2017 result alongside it's reccomendation. You can also easily view the full A-Z list of constituencies, and is the easiest URL to remember.

JLM remove campaign support from Labour. So a group which you can join without being Jewish and without being in the Labour party won't campaign for Labour except for Ruth Smeeth and one or two others. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/31/jewish-group-removes-campaigning-support-for-labour-in-election quote:The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) has withdrawn campaigning support for Labour in the upcoming general election in protest at its handling of antisemitism cases. Why don't Graun ever open comments on these kind of articles? I was with one of our Corbyn-supporting Jewish members for several hours yesterday and he is sick of all these accusations.

HopperUK posted:I just can't do it. I can't vote Lib Dem. Uggh. I hate lib dems and their voters at an equal or greater amount than I hate conservatives and their voters. The fact that they have been suckered in by "STOP BREXIT AT ALL COSTS" actually makes me hate them more, not less. The small solace I take from the inevitable hellscape we find ourselves in is that the FBPE types are getting hosed as well.

Just vote Lib Dem in all constituencies, as long as you have been kicked in the head by a horse or stepped on by a passing elephant. Otherwise vote labour.

Tom Tugendhat is my MP and everyone likes to suck him off on all the local Facebook groups that I'm a part of, which is the best bellweather I have. I thought Tonbridge and Malling was Tracey Crouch?

Comrades, I'm pleased to announce that episode 1 of Podcasting is Praxis is now up on YouTube. https://youtu.be/-CF92MyaoaY This was motivated by a desire to provide an accessible version to those with impaired hearing. I had YouTube generate subtitles and then manually edited them for, variously, Scottish accents, esoteric swearing, and goons yelling over each other. I'm hoping to average an episode every day or two until we're caught up, after which I'll try to get new episodes up a day after the podcast episode is available. We can have a custom URL instead of a string of gibberish if we get over a 100 subs and of course our visibility will be increased too, so I'd love it if you'd do a subscribe. Thanks!
