Lol if you're not aware of at least three different Facebook pages you can contact to have booze delivered at a price that would be unreasonable in the shops, but not so high it's crazy if you just need a couple more bottles.

Absolute lol that the Lib Dems are having a fever dream about getting a majority, but they're literally just aiming for the slimmest round figure that would constitute one.

Niric posted:Is there any actual proof of the latter? I was under the impression that the Tories won the most overall votes (at least a plurality) at the last election. Ronya is being very polite when he says: I don't know where Bobby has pulled this particular hot take from, but it's not true. FPTP is a bad system and rewards parties for a particular type of geographic spread (compare the SNP vs Lib Dem votes:seats ratio for instance), but Gerrymandering of the American sort in terms of constituencies isn't really a thing here. As far as I'm aware, no one has serious party-political objections to the work of Boundary Commissions that review the constituencies [/quote] There are some issues around the fact that they can be told which metrics to use for constituencies by the governing party. The Tories told them to go by registered voters, IIRC, instead of eligible voters, when drawing up the new (and not implemented) boundaries, which favours the Tories. But yeah, the boundary comission itself appears to be fair, and works within the guidelines it is set to.

ronya posted:That's true, but this has to be interpreted with some caution - vote share (by definition) also does not consider people who do not vote. When measuring boundary-drawing bias in terms of wasted votes per seat - that is, if two-party bias is measured by comparing the FPTP boundary effect against a PR ideal - the neutral PR point is to use actual voters to weight the seats, not eligible voters. This looks like a lot of words for "I agree", which I guess is what to expect from a ronya post. I explicitly said that the measures the comission were told to use could be a problem, but that the comission themselves were fair.

ronya posted:it's less the "could be a problem" element and more it's "previously conventionally it was considered another way in which the system favoured LAB, which it no longer does, or at least less so", rather than "it was fair previously and now favours CON" I never said it was fair before, what I said was the comission itself is fair, when you account that they have no control over certain measures.

Guavanaut posted:Also we should let a new world government by non-Euro descended people redraw the borders of Europe, ending the nationalism debate once and for all. Honestly I'd be fine with that Scottish border, except for the facts that - 1) It runs through the centre of a national park, and administering a border there if required could be difficult. 2) I'd be much happier drawing the line just North of Wales instead. (Hell, if Wales like, they can have a poll to join Ireland.) That said, I feel like everyone except Catalonia would be upset by the mainland borders.

Comrade Fakename posted:Enterprise is better than Voyager. At least Enterprise gave its basic premise a bit of a go. Voyager just abandoned everything interesting after the pilot and quickly settled into episode after episode of beige. Enterprise only really started to get going in it's last series, Voyager had the occasional dip into something interesting prior to season 4, though it only really hit the ground running when the interactions between 7 of 9 and the Doctor started in earnest.

Everyone here is forgetting one aspect when discussing Corbyn and the Whips Office - If every 3 line ignorance was followed by pulling the whip, Corbyn wouldn't be a Labour MP before. We all laud him for his convictions and willingness to defy the party when he deemed it right, and he believes in the that self same right for his colleagues, rightly or wrongly.

God, gently caress daylight savings. Already seeing the difference of winter time, it's almost dusk out before I've even left for work, instead of being full night until after I'm at work Course, that'll only help for a few weeks until it's just dark all the time, but honestly having more of that in September and October would help my mood.

The good news for everyone worrying about speaker choice is that it requires some nominations from both sides of the house, so anyone completely rabid can't really get in. This is unfortunately what stops Skinner or someone like him getting the job.
