Stop doing mental gymnastics to imagine a timeline in which Brexit gets stopped. It won't be. Trust me, I also really really wish it weren't so, but it's happening, there's no turning the clock back, it's a reality and we have to deal with it. Now, at this point I'd much rather have a Labour Brexit than a Tory Brexit, that goes without saying.

Lord_Adonis posted:But were those military interventions into politics conceived of to protect Liberal Democracy from far-right sabotage, and implemented in a strictly time-limited context? One of them had their stated cause pretty drat close to that, actually, but it doesn't matter. The reasons never matter. Giving over power to your military changes your country in many many unexpected ways, all of them really bad. I would write a long post about exactly how, seeing as how in Argentina you get it the whole history of the dictatorships and their atrocities hammered into you (a very popular motto with regards to them is "never again"), but honestly many better men than me have written much better books about it. There's literally hundreds of books about it, many dozen in english, so look it up, hell, even the wikipedia article should give you a good idea of why military dictatorships are an incredibly dumb idea.

You've got to say, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Then we'll figure out what to do about the tories selling out the country under our feet. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

What the hell is this "allotment" thing I keep reading in this thread? I mean, from what I can google, it's some kind of piece of land you get where you grow stuff, but does the government lease it for free or what? The Wikipedia article is not very clear on this other than "low rent".

jBrereton posted:Your local council will usually charge you a more or less nominal fee for an allotment but supply is usually much lower than demand. They're good if you don't have a garden. Sounds like a neat idea if it's like a couple quid a month, something neat to do in the weekends

Yeah, taking pictures in a polling station is illegal, and no matter how much he states that it will have no resale value, any judge will see that as clientelism because lol it's a famous figure's art, it has loving value and you're trying to influence votes even if you say you aren't.

forkboy84 posted:Not as far as I'm aware. It's illegal to reveal anything anyone else has done, so they don't like you to take photos. But it's not illegal. Or it wasn't a year ago according to a quick Google search. IANAL That's a joke in very bad taste. Also it'll be bad for Corbyn. No, but seriously, there will probably be a Daily Mail article about it real soon, too.

forkboy84 posted:(Though obviously if it was some rich oval office offering bribes to vote Tory I'd find it a lot less funny & a lot more bad) Yeah but you see, this is exactly why it's bad - we have to be consistent about this. Influencing votes with bribery is bad, even if it's on our side, otherwise we're as unprincipled as they are.

Cerv posted:how is it open to abuse? no-one other than the idiot in the voting booth take a photo of a ballot paper, so it's only ever your own ballot you could be invalidating. no way for anyone to invalidate anyone else's Depends. Are ballot IDs unpredictable, or are they just sequential numbers? Because if it's the latter, then someone with enough money to invest could print exact replicas of ballots and use thousands of russian bot twitter accounts to invalidate a lot of votes in a constituency.

ronya posted:how is Russian Bot going to match all the marks on the ballots though Cerv posted:just a thought but someone at the EC might notice that the crosses are in the wrong boxes and drawn differently. This assumes that the government is going to painstakingly match each and every physical ballot (which they have to find in a huge pile of paper) with the pictures and compare them. I don't know if I trust them that much. At the very least, it would cause a lot of noise. Also, again, this is only if the ballot IDs are sequential, which would be immensely stupid. They're probably some kind of cryptographically generated hash, which makes this whole thing moot. Pochoclo fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Jun 3, 2017 |

goddamnedtwisto posted:No, they're sequential - why would they be anything else? Because any idiot would be able to know all voter IDs in a constituency if they are sequential. Sure, they might not be able to do jack-poo poo with that information, but why even risk it, when there's a perfect viable alternative that doesn't need more resources or effort? I mean, I'm sorry if I come across as excessive or whatever, I just was involved in the development of very secure software before and this is like a cardinal sin to me. Cerv posted:hash of what? you're given the first ballot paper off the top of the pad. not one waiting for you specifically. A random hash, man, come on, this is not that hard. Instead of 1 2 3 you get f98jda89fha798989 f98uufjds98fjsd98 g9f8dh89878
