So much potential to solve our problems, if the status quo will just get the fuck out of the way.

The Jonothan Pie "new day in Westminster" makes me think of the Saturday Night Live "'One Day More' of President Trump": the sense of joy at a hated arsehole being kicked out. Hopefully in the UK the arseholes stay out for a bit longer than they have in the US.

This enthusiastic and informed participation is one of the great strengths of our communities of practice in Aotearoa. It dissipates if people lose faith and trust in the process.

If nothing else, it has caused a huge problem with trust and democratic participation. Why would anyone—teachers, scientists, etc—put in all those extra hours again in future when their work can be thrown out so easily?

Something big we haven’t 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.

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.

Every Starmer bot praising Keir for 'changing' the Labour Party annoys me, simply because he changed the Labour party into the Tory party, policy wise. They're going to try low key austerity, low key support for Israel, and low key isolationism. It's not a vote for change except for the personnel.

Not officially as far as I know, but you see bullshit like this all the time.
Most solar farms are built to be agrivoltaic, and allow farming underneath them.

They've already promised to change nothing and continue austerity and terfery. So, no hope there at all. Maybe they'll be less cruel. Maybe they'll be more competant. But FPP means eternal NeoLiberalism from an out-of-touch elite.

When 36% is a landslide, and a 4% increase in vote share gives you 200 more seats (and twice as many as last time), something is fucked with your electoral system. And then the media establishment paints this is _voters_ being volatile. The UK needs proportional representation.
