This reminds me of the greatest British political institution: the Lib Dem Bar Chart:

Does it just count rape/assault by penetration or all sexual assault crimes? Sweden's law banning the purchase of prostitution might have something to do with it if it's the latter.

It'd probably be more accurate to say that Scientology ∈ paranormal bollocks ∩ religious bollocks ∩ quackery bollocks ∩ psuedoscientific bollocks, as you haven't proved that Scientology is the only member of that intersection. :goonsay:

The UK uses Imperial for most roadsigns, but roadsigns must be spaced out in metric.

Unless it's an emergency locator sign, which is in kilometres (and have been since the 70s), or bridge height signs, which have to be in dual units.

That one is pretty amazing in how you discover all the atrocities in waves. Though really it's probably some poor gently caress forgetting to change the secondary axis, otherwise it would've been just bad in mostly unremarkable way (except for August).

Then there's this one, it seems that Fox News tactics are spreading in the wild:




(funnily enough, the former head of Campaigns for the Lib Dems was a MP for South Africa's Democratic Alliance. After presiding over the second worst major-party campaign in recent history last year (second only to Labour's in the same election), he then went to head the campaign to stay in the EU)

The explanation I've heard for WWE is that fandom/viewership is trending younger and more heavily Hispanic.

Which is pretty much why Kalisto won the US Championship; the WWE have been desperately looking for a Mexican superstar to appeal to the Hispanic demographic ever since Rey Mysterio left the company.

Kalisto… has very little appeal. But goddamn I do love the Salida del Sol.

The info on this chart is fairly clear but I have no idea what kind of point it's trying to make. That somehow not facing major leadership shakeups makes the Lib-Dems unelectable? If anything I would think having stable leadership would have the opposite effect. But then I don't know UK politics.

It's a joke about Lib Dem bar charts. :ssh:

Can any Brit-goon explain to me what the lib-dem party even is? I get the Labour and Conservative parties. I even understand UKIPS appeal, but who are the lib-dems for? Are they just the centrist party nobody likes?

Pretty much.

Although the Lib Dems are getting a good amount of newfound support from supporting the EU post-Brexit vote.

Arrows theorem applies to all types of elections, even the one we currently have. There's no way to elect the candidate that everyone would most desire; every voting system has an unfortunate trade-off.

Anyways, monarchy-for-life. No vote, no arrow theorem voting problem.

Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.

During the AV referendum in the UK in 2011, a lot of the debate was centred over whether it would benefit the far-right BNP. The No side said that "BNP voters would get multiple votes!". The Yes side countered that the BNP actually opposed AV because they tended to win council by-elections by splitting the vote. (in one case local to me, the BNP won by a whisker, almost certainly because a spat in the local Labour Party ended up with two Labour members standing).
