I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

more like BOLLOCKnese

Regarding the election date and students: Can you not just go in and vote in the week or two leading up to the election in your local town hall in the UK? Here in germany that has accounted for double digit percentages of the vote the last few election s. (At least in my area)

If you want to vote early you've got to do a postal vote basically

This is a good idea that would enable the young, poor and disenfranchised to have an easier time of managing to find time to vote, therefore it will never be allowed.

Officially it is a postal vote here as well, but you go to the town office, they give you the postal vote stuff next to a voting booth and a postal vote dropoff bin.

I know some right wing type parties here don't like it (probably for the same reason its not done in the UK), but it works great for everybody who isn't home on the sunday of the vote.

You get to vote on a Sunday? Again, in the UK that would mean that students and the working class would be able to find time to vote as they would usually get that day off. Oh no, in the UK we have to vote on a week day.

Ya, and there are tons of vote offices so you don't have to go very far and often run into neighbors / friends walking there and just chat on the way there or afterwards. Fairly communal event compared to how it works in the US.
