Something big we havenโt fully processed or reflected on is the massive amount of time and effort people around NZ have contributed towards long term curriculum changes, science system changes and local govt reforms, amongst others. All rejected by current govt. The deep engagement meant nothing.

I'm fascinated by how clearly it is NOT "reminiscent of a scold's bridle", it's just a kink mask, the beads are from a child's craft kit, it's not even modelled by a real person, the entire TEXT is "we're making up an oppression which doesn't exist"

Labour have lost at least three seats directly to an Independent running on an explicitly pro-Palestine ticket and nearly lost another couple and I bet they're going to learn nothing from their genocide supporting bullshit.

Starmer got less votes today than Corbyn did in the "disaster" of 2019, which Labour have given up absolutely every principle to avoid repeating. This wasn't a Labour win, it was a Conservative loss. Remember that for next time.

Just coming at this as someone living under a proportional system, sure: it sucks when the retrograde freaks get into power. But they are getting there democratically, and the issues which drive their popularity are the problems we need to fix.

No it wouldn't, because people vote differently when the voting system is different.

First Past the Post has given Starmer such brainworms that he thinks this landslide is bc of something he did, rather than catastrophic collapse of the Tories into a party so incapable of governing that one of their prevous PMs tanked the economy within a fornight & was outlasted by a lettuce

In November, Israel arrested Mohammad Abu Salmiya on the claim that he facilitated the use of Al-Shifa as a "Hamas HQ". This was served to the west and Israeli public as justification for the storming and massacres in the hospital complex. After 7 months of torture, he was released without charges.

Enjoy your little rant about "magical grandpa" Corbyn, but the numbers do not show he was ~unelectable~ and painting him as some scary villain in order to justify supporting a transphobic, dogwhistling liar who *will not make things better for you* is a really bad choice on your part.

Labour under Corbyn won 40% of the vote, roughly equivalent to UK Labour's current polling. The main reason Starmer is winning a landslide is that the First Past the Post voting system is broken nonsense
