    Love Actually

Art is about freedom and narrative voice needs to be allowed light and dark. Not every piece of art has to be some statement...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But if you don’t like the incumbent why wouldn’t you vote against them? As I say all the evidence is non-voters would break like voters do. Id support more effort to increase turnout for its own sake, it should at least be a public holiday paid if you can prove you voted (whatever that looks...

    I mean I would do some form of AV, but the argument is “more than half the electorate didn’t want you”.

    I mean let’s be clear the Union rules are stupid for the exact same reason. The cry of the unelectable is always “oh but the non voters” when all evidence we have says non voters would vote the exact same as voters and aren’t some mystery group to imprint your own beliefs on.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Next GE has to be held by Jan 2025 so just over two years. But is scheduled for May 24 I think if not called earlier so 18 months away. I can’t see the Tories calling an early election, this is normal timescales really for deciding reelection.
