Ah yes, the reformist, homophobic, climate skeptical, patriotic socialist party. Obviously I am describing a modern extreme left party, and not a certain german party during the 1920’s.

Parties change with the environment their are in or they lose support.

So why aren’t you pressuring the Tories to support PR? Surely if the parties change according to the will of the voters you can just influence any of the parties in the same way, by just voting for them.
Besides, your original claim was that you could vote labour in, then pressure them to adopt PR - why is it now the voting itself that’s going to pressure them? I’ll admit it at least has some link to the labour party, unlike writing letters to podcasts, but you were saying there was going to be a vague something after the voting that changed their minds.

Anyway, I’ve noticed your a hexbear so …

So what? I’ve noticed you’re a fedd, but you don’t hear me harping on about it.

Which are the extreme left parties? Especially the one with members who make extremely racist and homophobic remarks?

Are you saying you think FPTP has delivered representative Parliament?

What? Are you actually reading what I’m writing? How did you get this idea from what I said?

As for action, I bash FPTP every chance I get, including here on Lemmy. But also Reddit (less now), Mastadon and Twitter. I do write into some of the main stream political podcasts I listen to.

So you say that you don’t like FPTP, especially on niche internet communities, and write in to podcasts. Could you explain to me how these influence the actual Labour Party? Like I used the example of an angry letter as a joke about completely ineffectual action, but you’re genuinely suggesting that writing an angry letter to someone with no connection to the Labour Party is action.

I voted for AV.

oh god i’m gonna
You really are a parody of liberal activism.

The only right way to brew coffee is cold brewing, all other methods are quick fixes for the unprepared.

It’s a secret method practiced by the great masters through the ages, like Jim Carrey and Robin Williams, called crushing depression.

I don’t know what questions you think you’re answering, but they aren’t mine.

We have used FTPT since the creation of the house of commons in 1708. It’s over 300 years of “the right [having] been able to use FPTP to have unrepresentative governments for decades”. That’s 30 decades, an unreasonable number to summarise as just decades. As a subpoint, [citation needed] on progressives being a majority - your file shows the Conservatives have averaged 40% of the vote for most of the last 100 years, with the Lib Dems taking another 10-20% most of the time, and 50-60% of the vote is definitely a majority before you start adding the conservative members of supposedly liberal parties like labour.

Secondly, nothing you said names a single actual action you’re willing to take to pressure Labour. If you were being realistic you’d have said something like mail bombing or arson, but you haven’t even said you’ll write an angry letter or something. There’s just this gap of thinking where they get into power, and then something vague happens that makes them do the right thing. Back in 2002/3 me and 36 million other people worldwide took to the streets protesting plans to invade Iraq. On the 15th of February the largest demonstration in history occured worldwide, with close to a million people marching in London alone. IT had absolutely no effect on government policy, with our nominally progressive government throwing their full support behind the invasion, so what are you going to do this time that will actually effect change?

As everyone else says, probably not, but it depends on where you are: if you want a real answer, you’re going to have to ask a local lawyer. Unless you’re confident you can shoulder the potential costs (or otherwise be immune to them) it’s probably not worth trying.

1. Yes, marijuana, whichever strain my dealer hands me.
2. Twice, first time was general cold like symptoms and exhaustion around the middle of 2021, second was just mild cold like symptoms around the start of 2023.

If the public mood is turned against PR and everywhere is calling it undemocratic and their government illegitimate, they may not feel they have a choice.

Damn, they may feel they don’t have a choice? Definitely sounds like you know what you’re talking about. We’ll just hope they feel like they have to do it, something that definitely has plenty of historical precedent. What actual physical actions are you thinking of taking that would make them feel they don’t have a choice?

Also confusing - when you talk about the right using FTPT for decades, are you thinking “since 2012” or “since 1708”? Because neither of those are time periods you’d measure in decades.

If you really want the feeling of thac0 at your table you can just do AC - attack bonus to find the number you need to roll over, and bang your head against the table for the rest of the experience.

then push Labour for PR, hard

What do you think this looks like? Like, what, you’re gonna withhold your vote next time, letting a different party take advantage of FTPT, or vote for them anyway, because you’re still trying to keep the tories out of power?
There is absolutely no incentive for them to change the system while in power.

Might be more than a sprain. I had a FOOP incident (fall onto outstretched palm, a common enough cause of injury to get it’s own acronym) and an x-ray turned up nothing, so it was assumed to be a strain until it was still hurting under certain loads a month later and they sent me for a cat scan - tiny fracture of one of the wrist bones that was hidden on the 2d scans.

I know it’s not an option in most of the world but you should always get sprains checked out if you can - there can easily be a small break that causes problems down the road.

I would argue chapattis are even easier and faster, but otherwise correct. I prefer brown lentils because they hold their texture, and start by boiling them with onion, ginger, tumeric, and a whole chilli, then add some tomato paste and salt once I start reducing. Once it’s reduced it comes off the heat and I fry garlic, onion, a pinch of chilli flakes and a shit load of cumin seeds in plenty of oil, and stir it all into the daal once the garlic starts to caramelise. The only problem is the 4 hours of soaking and hour+ of boiling and reducing that brown lentils need.

Yeah it is

As it turned out, the llama planes were not what Jacob hoped them to be.

Find a random data centre, break in, and start hitting servers with a hammer. Sooner or later you’re bound to knock out an ai one.

All I said was the PLP are almost indistinguishable from the Tories, how the fuck did they end up here

Back in the day I was subbed to /r/tall because I am tall, and the best part of the sub was short people coming over to comment on how much nicer the tall sub was than the short one. We were mostly trading tips on clothes that fit and desks that wouldn’t give us back pain, while our nominally sibling sub was just raging about us existing.

Looking at the .ml modlog it seems there was an incident last month that I suspect they were warned over, and this was their failure to improve.
