Because youre going nuts over some conspiracy of my motivation

it just shows you're not an ass hole

<a:pepeAcid3:528439567364128768>

bruh, i haven't got time to make a conspiracy

@notaglobe what do you actually think about the idea of preferential voting?

i'm for it

stops people panic voting for the strongest appearing party and lets them stand by what they believe in

then fall back so their vote is fully realised

There's things that I wouldn't have thought of that will impact that assessment, and I'm sure someone smarter than me will make that argument

but rn, it appears to be something that could do good

exactly. As an Australian, it lets me vote for the parties I actually believe in the message of, regardless of how small they are - and rest in the knowledge that I'm still supporting the correct "mainstream" party to win

for sure

omg I think they have yeeted the 1843 voting card from the internet

and then if something happens and your fellow countrymen agree that the smaller party should get a chance 🤷‍♀️

I reckon the UK could really do with something like that, especially with the "voting conservative out of necessity" dilemma

Same with labour

Exactly

see, look we agree on something

In 2017 I held my nose when I voted labour

But I couldn’t do it again in 2019

Last year I held my nose and joined the cons and voted for them

I join parties when I believe they're doing good and leave when I think they've missed the mark

I don't take joining a party as a "i'm only voting for these people now forever"

“My father voted con/labour and his father voted con/labour”

So dumb

Oh yeah, my parents never talked to us about who they voted for

we never had a clue

My family has always been labour

I think my grandad started getting worried at the thought of me voting conservative just cause I went into banking

I somehow managed to find it... holy shit they properly buried this... https://victoriancommons.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/overseers-poll.jpg

What's this @wacka ?

people that think along party lines alone have a very small window of experience outside of the immediate and practical. They simply don't understand that ideas and policies change more rapidly than say, how quickly the church changes, or how quickly the currency changes

its a voting card from 1843...

explain what we're looking at

see how Grace has 4 votes and everyone else has only 1

right

@PureEvilPie Your grandad and labour voters of his generation destroyed Britain.

women voting in 1843....

oh

That’s nice of you to say

@PureEvilPie they did do a lot of damage, but it wasn't their fault
