Can we ask for a recount?

Coaxed is hardly the word I'd use...

Joining an existing party wouldn't be much better as MPs vote with their party 99.6% of the time. One would have to become party leader and win a majority. On the other hand, one needs to ask, "Why are the powers that be so anxious to shut down the LBC?"

Is anyone else getting a "this content is not currently available" error when trying to watch "A Losing Game"?

Definitely going about electoral reform the wrong way. That's why we're having this conversation.

Does that mean under FTPT not every vote is necessarily counted?

this is great, meaningful music with a raw sound, angst, aggression, and punk rock attitude. the famous sandhogs may be the next tragically hip.

Wait a minute... is this an infinite scroll?

Wait... did he just say he wants to jail PP's political opponents?

I voted "yes" and tried to check the results, and it said I had to vote first. I tried to vote again, and it said I had already voted. Weird.
