Unless you integrate your emails into the same client, in which case it's all in one place, but life is just anxiety about replying to someone *from* the wrong address.

For his next stunt Sir Ed Davey will orchestrate 25 Con->LibDem defections. They won't even need to cross the floor, just bum-shuffle into the new official opposition.

I agree. I didn't mean to come across as a kipper apologist. I do think that while I worry when they vote in some cnuts to the nation's legislature, these voters won't be convinced by suppressing their voice. I just wish they stopped following newspapers and youtubers who give them these opinions.

I agree, it's a slight change in vote distribution. E.g. in Clacton last time it was Con 72%, Lab 15%, whereas this time it was Con+Ref 74%, Lab 16%. In a way we've probably had Ukippy MPs all along, only hidden behind a blue rosette.

Good news. Besides, very few office jobs require a penis, as a haver of office jobs and a penis have discovered over the years.

Most of their readers would struggle with the Life In The UK test. Why don't we put a random three of those questions on the ballot paper, if you fail them, we don't count your vote. That would deal with the Reform problem and put any future Tory revival out of the question in one fell swoop.

Unless they go half and half with Labour on the remaining seats, the exit poll must have massively overestimated the Tories..?

Reform on 8 might be the Faustian bargain we need to accept for Tories in third place, and if we can't crush them both in one go, I might be willing to live with it.

It would have to involve a 3-inch thighbone shortening operation for every one of them who voted for austerity, or any measure making poverty and food security worse.

Ah interesting, so it's not the same people who work at the polling station throughout the day. I was an election official in Hungary one time, and we had to be there from before 6 AM until we counted and reported all the ballots around 3 AM the next day.

Incidentally, a ballot box is called an 'urn' in some other languages. The dark joke goes that a man took his mother in law to vote so that she'd get accustomed to the urn.

Not for the individual, sure, but the whole country would know that these were the only idiots still voting for those constitutional vandals. Same with Clacton, if Farage gets in, we will all have an opinion on the entire town.

I like to imagine that some Tory voters stay home because they don't want to end up as one of the very few constituencies that return a senior Tory. Imagine if they collapse to ~40 unknown backbenchers and e.g. Liz Truss. Would you want the stigma of being one of her voters?

First I read that as self-depricating and I was preparing to write something vaguely reassuring, until I realised you might have meant that we were not good enough to be graced with the sight of such beauty. Either way, the Blur t-shirt should do just fine if you can find it.
