Yes, Caledonian

2020-04-04 15:52:06 UTC  

Rerun it

2020-04-04 15:53:11 UTC  

I don't think it's silly - it simply doesn't tend to happen. If none of the above wins any kind of vote, it suggests such an extreme level of apathy and disconentment that it really should cause them to stop and rethink the whole thing

2020-04-04 16:06:38 UTC  

Why would you want your supposed enemies to do something that will benefit them

2020-04-04 16:09:21 UTC  

our average turnout is ~66%

2020-04-04 16:09:31 UTC  

that means we've had elections where abstain was 2nd

2020-04-04 16:09:44 UTC  

we may live to see a GE where abstain "wins"

2020-04-04 16:11:05 UTC  

Not voting != voting for "none of the above"

2020-04-04 16:11:45 UTC  

lol what an arbitrary distinction

2020-04-04 16:12:47 UTC  

It's not arbitrary at all

2020-04-04 16:12:58 UTC  

It's expressing a preference as opposed to not expressing a preference

2020-04-04 16:13:15 UTC  

how laughable

2020-04-04 16:13:26 UTC  

many people express their preference by not voting

2020-04-04 16:13:38 UTC  

their all shit so they dont go

2020-04-04 16:13:46 UTC  

no point they say

2020-04-04 16:13:56 UTC  

so yes its an arbitrary distinction

2020-04-04 16:14:28 UTC  

there isn't even an "abstain" on the ballot in a GE

2020-04-04 16:15:29 UTC  

Some people want to vote minor parties but think theres no point

2020-04-04 16:17:07 UTC  

Spoiling your ballot is the formal abstain option, though you're right - general elections -should- have "none of the above" on them

2020-04-04 16:18:46 UTC  

so while in practice it's an arbitrary distinction because of the way general elections are set up, but in principle, and in the case of the labour election where "none of the above" -was- an option, it's not an arbitrary distinction

2020-04-04 16:23:43 UTC  

they shoudl make it compulsory

2020-04-04 16:31:18 UTC  

It should be on there for the lulz if nothing else

2020-04-04 16:45:07 UTC  

i can't imagine whos idea it was to put none of the above on the ballot

2020-04-04 16:45:08 UTC  

wild

2020-04-04 16:48:34 UTC  
2020-04-04 16:54:09 UTC  

heh

2020-04-04 17:02:09 UTC  

i wanted Nandy to win

2020-04-04 17:05:42 UTC  

i want labour to die and another workers party be founded to be the challenger

2020-04-04 17:05:49 UTC  

so i guess i'll wait and see

2020-04-04 17:06:53 UTC  

I'd like to see something that's like, a party for the every man, a place that cares about the little guy, that's not bound to unions

2020-04-04 17:07:11 UTC  

a workers party, that wants to look out for the workers, that's not infected with complete horror

2020-04-04 17:10:27 UTC  

Under Starmer Labour will become the party of the limosine liberal and of the campaigne socialist.

2020-04-04 17:10:42 UTC  

hasn't it only been a few hours

2020-04-04 17:10:49 UTC  

wat

2020-04-04 17:11:22 UTC  

cool, so they'll become the dems

2020-04-04 17:11:25 UTC  

i'm fine with that

2020-04-04 17:11:28 UTC  

let them eat cake

2020-04-04 18:43:00 UTC  

what am i looking at?

2020-04-04 18:43:32 UTC  

I think it's a 5g router or something?

2020-04-04 18:43:58 UTC  

lunatics thinking 5g is behind the virus
