Unfortunately FPTP is like The One Ring of UK politics: whoever wins does a Boromir/Isildur and thinks "Maybe we shouldn't destroy it, maybe we should use its terrible power for good?"

Absolutely do write to your MP and let them know what they should be doing, because generally it’s only the Daily Mail reading geriatrics that do and that just reinforces the tabloid nonsense in the MP’s head.

When the guy your playing chess against announces they have 6 queens now and their king is immortal, the answer is not to keep playing chess with them and meekly sticking to the rules.

It’s no good playing by the rules when your opponent is making them up as they go along or just plain ignoring them, even toddlers know this.

Okay so to be clear we are destroying power grids, the livelihoods of actual humans beings, and communication/research infrastructure for the sake of an algorithm that converts stolen data into unreliable stolen data and consistently loses millions of dollars. Just to be clear

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

Noise cancelling headphones on the train are great at: - blocking out important announcements And terrible at: - silencing the loud teens. - blocking out that guy’s YouTube videos. So entirely the opposite of the desired result.

A minority that, anecdotally at least, took a lot from her books. She could be remembered for so much more than being an angry bigot who once wrote a popular book series, but it doesn’t look like that will be the case.

There would be no better answer to the historically significant shittyness of the current government than consigning them to electoral purgatory, if only the alternative was actually good instead of being the lesser of two evils we might be permanently rid of them.
