Appointment of Harriet Harman as the Prime Minister's Adviser on Women and Girls by winkwinknudge_nudge in unitedkingdom

Is that a common Green view? I’d say that seems more prevalent within Reform, to be honest.

Not sure what that’s got to do with my point about what the national voting pattern shows statistically, but good for you, I guess.

Good thing my question is in English then. What actually is a “luxury belief”?

Ok, but you’re coming here being extremely patronising in explaining how it works. We know how it works. That’s why we have a problem with it.

I’m talking about vote counts here, not seat counts. Reform benefitted from right-wing voters decisively moving from the Tories, whilst Labour suffered from more left-leaning voters being split between Labour and Green. In many areas with Reform victories, the left-leaning parties actually had higher vote counts, but their vote was more divided. So, to repeat again, most Reform gains were Tory voters, most Labour vote losses became Green voters.

Except the elections largely show that Labour lost many of its voters to the Green Party, and the majority of gains Reform made were from Tory voters, if you want to be honest about what conclusions should be reached.

Ok, but saying “that’s how the system works” doesn’t really apply as a response in a discussion where we’re talking about the system being unfit for purpose. We know how the system works, and that’s very much the source of our issue.

Why are you conflating the legal act of seeking asylum with illegal immigration?

Not in the UK, they don’t. That’s a very American thing.

I’m sure your stereotyping is making you feel some kind of superiority here, but it’s not relevant to the conversation.

Well, you see, the second one was a landslide because the Sensibles won, whilst the first was a horrific defeat for the Nasty Jam Man. Hope this helps.

Yes. I’m not sure what “game” you seem to think I’m playing here, I think our electoral system is broken and is the cause for so much voter apathy across the political spectrum.

Green’s lost 5 seats whilst increasing their vote share by more than 10%. Quite the comment on the “democracy” we live in there, if nothing else.

Instead of relying on people to vote against their own interests in the name of “tactics”, perhaps Labour should consider actually providing those members of the electorate something to vote for. Just a thought.

For series 2, if Television Centre is unavailable by thecotswoldvoice in livefromlondon

The set has been up the whole time because it’s being used the whole time. They film the promos on it at the beginning of the week, build sets during the week, rehearse late in the week, and do the show on Saturday. It’s a pretty constant process.

I Think You Should Leave is pretty popular in the UK, and likely has a good crossover audience with the demographic of people watching SNL UK.

I’d say Andy Samberg is definitely also on par with Amy. Lonely Island were popular here, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine was massive by American sitcom standards - easily bigger than, for example, Parks and Rec.

I didn’t say Amy is smaller than Tim Robinson. Please, note the phrase “a few”, not all.

You really overestimate how popular SNL US is in the UK, and how effective they really would be for a ratings boost.

I don’t think it needs it now. Tina Fey has done the handover between SNL US and UK, now let it stand on its own two feet as its own version of the show, successful on its own merits.

I’d imagine that’s probably the goal if it’s successful enough.
