Wasn’t even close. 60/40.
We had a referendum on ranked choice voting (referred to as AV at the time) here in the UK some years ago. The campaign against it was shocking. Well funded and extremely vocal. Bizarre lies and misinformation.
Someome really hates changing FPTP.
The status quo perhaps?
The funny thing is we just had a really unusual election where the right splintered and FPTP handed a landslide to the centre-left party.
The right is probably going to flip and campaign against FPTP soon.
I’m revising my estimation of the electorate a lot tonight
Every time I think the rubes couldn’t possibly be stupider we have an election and I’m proved wrong
I never heard that word I think (not a native speaker) and DDG only brings up some band, which I don’t think you mean here. What are the rubes?
Colloquialism for someone who’s easily fooled or taken advantage of
Thank you!
