New paper out.

What happens when you make a model that includes realistic details about how people discuss ideas and decide how to act upon them? The answer is that with just 3 such elements of realism, one can mathematically explain the emergence of commonly observed situations, such as reaching a consensus and exchanging opinions, but also the separation of ideologies and the appearance of stable polarization. Not only this, but one can also account for phenomena such as peer pressure, cognitive dissonance, tactical voting and toxic idealism ( @benroyce I told you I was going to do it 😀 ) and prove how they affect the final state of the system.

On the left, three panels show how consensus evolves within the multi-dimensional multi-option opinion dynamics model. Specifically, the panels show the opinions of all the simulated agents, represented as trajectories in time of their level of support for different options on different topics. In this example, they all eventually reach the same stable state, supporting option 2 and opposing option 1 and option 3. On the right, the distributions of such opinions are drawn in the form of 3-d plots, and as heat maps, to show the presence of a bifurcation at a critical value of the parameter that reflects the overall strength of correlations and influences. These plots illustrate how, after this parameter crosses the critical threshold, shifts start occurring, eventually leading the opinion distributions towards their final state.

This election has indeed highlighted the urgent need for electoral reform. Switching from FPTP to a multi-member STV system would ensure that every vote counts and make tactical voting unnecessary. It's high time we move towards a fairer, more representative system that truly reflects the will of the people. Let's continue to push for Proportional Representation and make our voices heard. #ElectionLessons #MidBucksPrimary #TacticalVoting #VoteTogether #MidBuck buff.ly/3JPP44z

I've just signed this petition from the Electoral Reform Society to change the voting system in the UK to be fairer and more representative:

Yes, we had a chance at this with a referendum in 2011, but that just means it's time to bring this up again.

Especially in light of the rise of smaller parties, and some independent candidates, in the 2024 #GeneralElectionUK it's high time voters had a better guarantee of proper representation.
