Two of the three nations in the United Kingdom are having General Elections the week after next, and the #Westminster village describes it as 'the locals'.
Sigh.

"The Electoral Commission has called for new legal controls over misinformation from AI chatbots, after a thinktank found they had made serious mistakes during the recent Scottish election.
The thinktank Demos said its investigation had found that AI services gave voters misinformation to 34% of the questions it posed"

The media I'm following show 70 constituency seats called; presumably the list votes have all been tallied, so the list seats ought to be all allocated as soon as the last constituencies are called.
I can see that Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch is still pending; where are the other two?
