That'll be like June.

I guess this is one advantage the American system has. In Canada, the loser typically still ends up with a prominent position in the government.

It's actually a major advantage over the American system because it enables viable third-party voting and small single-issue parties to come to the table.

Well I mean, he's horrible and all, but giving him 1/650th representation in a parliament is a small price to pay for 90%+ of voters to have a say in government rather than the most popular ~30%.

That's true. The system does start looking a wee bit dodgy when UKIP can get four million votes or so and end up with one seat, while the SNP can get about two million votes and end up with 56 seats.

It's intended that the system prioritises seats to electorates rather than popular vote so that you don't end up in a situation where, for example, a party may control virtually the whole of a country yet have half as much representation as another party that happens to do well in major centres of population but no better than second-best. Without that you'd have no representation at all outside of major cities, and you'd paradoxically have elected representatives in districts that couldn't represent.

As a foreigner I'm going to eat popcorn and laugh while your country burns itself to the ground. #fallofrome

Can we talk about our favourite anti Fascist comics? I liked it when Cap America punched Hitler in the face. Not that that is topical or anything.

It's definitely Batmans when you're talking about people fulfilling the singular role of The Goddamn Batman.

I think He-Man got me into comics. So thanks, Mattel merchandising arm.

Age of Ultron was poo poo and Ultron himself was the sixth shittest thing about it.

I haven't seen Ant-Man but The Incredible Spider-Man featuring Captain America and Tony Stark was a mediocre film at best but still head-and-shoulders above Age of Ultron in terms of knowing when to dial back all the extra team poo poo and paprikash packed into it, as well as knowing how to use robot Carlton.
