It would be amusing if this actually got the powers that be to consider proportional representation. Better chance of having a say in government if the alternative parties start beating first-past-the-post. One voice that must be listened to is better than shouting impotently from the wrong side of the house.



For a long while after the Iraq debacle, I was predicting that Iran would be next, and it just kept not happening.
I guess even the right-wingers of the time were too level-headed to want to open that can of worms.
Heck, even Trump didn’t go there during his first term. I had accepted that I had been wrong.
So, of course, this time, the crazy old narcissist has gone and done it.
(This reads like I feel like I could have done something to prevent it. I know I couldn’t, I’m just some random guy, but I still feel like I took my eye off the ball.)
