I took that quiz and got 33.3% Labour, 33.3% Green, and 33.3% Lib Dem. Not quite what I was expecting (would have assumed more Labour, less Lib Dem), but in some cases where things were really similar I kind of half-assed my answers and picked whichever. I'm glad I was able to avoid the Tories and UKIP at least. Also, been talking to a UK friend about politics lately; turns out I know more about politics there than he does (he wasn't aware that the Tories were the Conservatives and thought they were two separate parties). Have been working on convincing him that Corbyn's not as bad as the media paints him and that he should vote Labour or at least definitely not Tory out of those two and the Lib Dems, which are the three he's been considering because, well, he doesn't/didn't know much about politics.

He's fairly young, was a student until recently, and isn't dumb, just... Not at all engaged previously. I'm trying to help there, at least.

Trin Tragula posted:He's in favour of the idea of a more proportional voting system, but he also really really really likes that everyone is an elected representative with a link to a constituency and who is directly representing a specific and identifiable group of voters, and doesn't want to lose that; deeply unsurprising when you consider that he has a bulletproof personal majority in large part because he's directly helped a shitload of people via his surgeries over the last 30 years, and people remember that. Somewhere out there there's a video of him telling a leadership hustings about a trip to the Netherlands where he met MPs who were elected via a national party list and spent all their time on party business; they had absolutely no reason to ever have contact with, or directly help out, ordinary people. Hm. He might like STV then, since, while a bit less local, it still keeps local representatives while being more proportional and representative. The Lib Dems are officially supporting STV, on that tangent, right? I think that's what that one quiz told me when I selected the STV option for it. That kind of surprised me.

Raeg posted:One point is about the same as their last one then. Last one was 40%-39%, right? So both of them gained according to this poll, I suppose? Huh.

Please don't become a police state with a collapsed economy due to an evil old woman who doesn't understand computers being in charge. Please make an actually good thing happen for once.

Maugrim posted:I don't know if it HAS to be (I assume so), but they aren't doing that. There was a post earlier in this thread about someone's elderly neighbour having trouble filling in her postal ballot because she couldn't find the "Theresa May" option. If the Tories lose because enough people couldn't find the Tory/Theresa May option and voted for something else/didn't vote, that'd be amazing. I doubt it's widespread enough for that to really matter, but even as a minor factor in the Conservatives suffering worse results than expected... I would love that so much.

OwlFancier posted:Oh god I want her take on this so much. Or perhaps... If Snape were revealed to not only be a good guy, but one of the most important ones on the side of good and always acting in their best interest? (Yes I know this post is from a ton of pages ago and that this isn't an original observation.) Also yes, nth-ing the "as a US leftist I am deriving happiness from your election because ours have been poo poo" sentiment.

Jeez, multiculturalism's support plummets with age. From third-highest to second-lowest from the first demographic to the last. vodkat posted:holy gently caress, lets just take minute to appreciate that the majority of under 64s don't think capitalism is a good thing It's pretty stable at 38% for a while too. I wonder at what point in the 55-64 range people start supporting capitalism more, because under that age it's surprisingly uniform apparently.
