Our politicians and media here in Ireland don't focus enough on the sick state of our Democracy; if 40.3% of registered Irish adults (and even more including those who are eligible but not registered) are not voting, this should be the main story of the election - that is double the percentage of people who voted for the largest party in the last election.

One of the big takeaways from the German election is just how much more engaged German voters are than Irish voters.

Yesterday, Germany reached a turnout of 83.5% of registered voters. In our General Election last November, we had just 59.7% of registered voters come out to vote.

I realise I never did a re-#introduction after moving to my bespoke, artisanal instance. So here it is!

I'm a soon-graduating PhD student at #UBC Biomedical Engineering with a research focus on #imaging, #biomechanics and #simulation of rare pediatric hip disorders like #perthes disease.

My other interests are all over the place: #urbanism, #classiccars, #retrocomputing, #electoralreform, #crochet, #music composition, #linux and #fedi and more I'll probably add as I remember!

Foreign interference in U.K. elections

I do hope this is not going to go away. Funding reform is long overdue but the major parties are reluctant to act while they keep their noses in the trough.

Limits to individual donations in the U.K. need to be brought in as well.

The National · SNP call for probe into Labour Party's foreign donationsBy James Walker

Labour and foreign donors

The article is somewhat more nuanced than the title, #Labour have demonstrated, along with the #Tories and to a very much lesser extent the Lib Dums that they owe foreign donors for their parties - come on Starmer, what the fuck are you selling? I assume that unlike the Tories, selling the UK to the Russians is de rigeur - been there, done that.

#FPTP gives these bastards a chokehold. End it now.

There's a debate on proportional representation coming up in Westminster soon!! parliament.uk/business/news/20 This Thurs 30th Jan.

You can use writetothem.com to find your MP by postcode and then send an email. Even a very brief email is enough, something like:

"I hope you will attend Thursday's debate on proportional representation in Westminster, and speak in favour."

You can add more if you want, of course. :)

I see that Trudeau now “regrets” not passing electoral reform — but goes on to say how great it would have been if voters could make second and third choices on the ballot. FFS.

The reason Trudeau reneged on his promise of reform was exactly this: during the massive public consultation phase, there was overwhelming majority support for some form of proportional representation (something like 80% of participants preferred it). A PR system could ensure that every vote counted, and that parliamentary power matched public sentiment. It would keep extremists in check.

Trudeau favoured rank-choice ballots, which by nature strongly favour centrist parties (who will be the second choice of both right and left supporters), and would therefore give an unfair advantage to his Liberal Party. When the public consultation result didn’t match his preferred outcome, he pulled the plug, falsely claiming “there was no consensus”. Bitch, PR had twice the support your government did.

Even though I predicted exactly this outcome, it still enraged me. We get so few chances to make these kinds of changes, and that time everything needed was in place: a clear mandate plus majority power. But he chose party over country, and now we all get to pay for it.
