@david_colquhoun@mstdn.socialThere is nothing seismic about #GortonandDenton. People saw that the best chance of beating Reform was to vote Green, regardless of their policies. First-past-the-post makes vote rates impossible to judge. People are forced to vote tactically.
@rachel@norfolk.socialOkay, so my main takeaway from the whole by-election was I LOVE this shirt - where can I get it from???

@pre@boing.worldShe's entirely charming, and not some representative of billionaires bought and paid for.
Hard to imagine how anyone could watch her talking to Zack for an hour here and then vote for someone else, out of what? Loyalty to Labour that have shown no loyalty to you? Hate with reform who run an our of town GBeebies lunatic?
Will Farage interview his mad candidate for an hour? Will Starmer? Would doing so do anything other than expose those candidates and turn everyone off?
[Some context: Her dogs are greyhounds, rescued from mistreatment in the gambling and racing industry.]
