The United Kingdom is a typical, developed democracy. Elections take place in an environment where the general public have a range of political parties to choose from, operating in a pluralistic media landscape, with totally free, secret ballots, some time after which the new Prime Minister resigns.

Definitely, love stuff like that! (Even though I can hear my undergrad supervisor, a modern historian, crying)

I’m leaning into middle age; I potter around furniture shops with my wife and have opinions about roof renovations, it’s great.

Oh, the worst thing about 9 is how slow the battles are 😬 but it’s very good otherwise! 8 has some terrible design choices but is fun (one of the worst plots in the entire series though)

Exeter is the one place I’ve seen that has defeated Uber; they try every so often to break in, but the local taxi firm is so strong, it defeats all challengers.

FFIX is the best one as the way the party wins is by rejecting cynicism and nihilism whilst embracing community and active agency in resisting tyranny. Also just because generally it’s the best FF.

This is it I feel, but will see what happens with proper polling for the seat when Galloway’s lot is thrown into the mix

It’s absolutely shocking; these β€˜protests’ needed to be stamped out more over the past two years, and because they haven’t, we’ve now got this.
