27% here for news, politics and current affairs. 34% here for awesome dogs. 39% here to see if the legend that is Mark Hamill replies to any one of my posts. A bit sweary when it comes to racists.

05.11.2025 05:58 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thanks. In a lot of of Europe elections (and even in internal party leadership elections) it needs a candidate to get over 50% of the vote to be declared winner.
04.11.2025 21:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Does the NYC mayoral election require a candidate to get >50% of votes over a couple of rounds of voting or is it a simple case of whoever gets the most votes on the day?
04.11.2025 21:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Sadly, it is not. It's now an organic grocery shop that doubles as a florist, so... as we say in the UK... score-draw?

They decorated the place up for Persian New Year, if that helps? π
04.11.2025 21:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Oh, they had a small deli section of mixed olives and dips, all available to buy by weight. I forgot about that part!

04.11.2025 21:10 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0When I lived in London there was a fantastic Iranian convenience shop near my house that, while not as cramped and hectic as the bodegas you described, had all kinds of stuff crammed in there, along with a middle-aged fella behind the counter. They had a goldfish though. No cats.

04.11.2025 20:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I literally just learned about fusion voting. We don't have that in the UK but it's an interesting concept.
04.11.2025 20:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes! I already follow this great page on Facebook. π

Awesome! We have shops like that here but we don't have a distinctive name for them to the best of my knowledge.
04.11.2025 20:23 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Is that even legal? Swamping the ballot with identical names in an attempt to deny votes to a particular candidate?
04.11.2025 20:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0OK, so what is the distinction because I always thought that a bodega was simply what Americans refer to as a corner shop/convenience shop (I'm in the UK)?
04.11.2025 20:12 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0How does the NYC vote work? Does it go to a second round of voting if no one candidate receives >50% of the votes or is it simply the candidate with the most votes wins on the first count?
04.11.2025 14:53 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'd say that you simply have some legitimate appreciations...
04.11.2025 13:51 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Β£0.00?
03.11.2025 20:37 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0In Lee Anderson's case, that's a Β£94k salary.

29.10.2025 21:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think it would be great to name it after Trump *if* he's buried beneath the floor: there would be a never-ending queue of people lining up to dance there.
29.10.2025 20:47 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I wonder if it was a method of preservation: forming a jelly out of the meat's natural gelatine to keep the air off it, a bit similar to early pork pie recipes?
29.10.2025 19:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I never did find a decent stand when I was in London. Pity.
29.10.2025 19:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So is jellied eel another traditional dish with its origins from overseas, like fish and chips?

29.10.2025 16:46 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The trouble is that all member states would have to vote unanimously to allow us back in (including Hungary) and I don't think there'll be much appetite since EU leaders would realise that we'll be taken straight back out if Tories/RefUK get back in a few years' time.
