The government has taken steps against foreign interference, including a crypto donation moratorium and limits on overseas donors, but these measures stop short of fixing the core issue: unregulated large donations. Our democracy needs a cap on all donations.

It's certainly not an endorsement of Elon Musk, it's just an artifact of the way the automation system works. Anything more precise would require access to the Twitter API and I don't have tens of thousands of pounds to do that

btw I've seen some asking why all my posts "link" to Twitter. It's because I use an automated system to automatically post any image post I put out on Twitter to BlueSky, Facebook and Instagram. That way I only have to think about one website and not four. Side effect is the link. It is what it is

Electoral districts in mainland Portugal coincide with the eighteen administrative districts whose populations differ sharply. This produces large differences in district magnitude – the number of seats allocated per district.

The electoral reform Portugal needs

Nearly fifty years after the transition to democracy, Portugal’s electoral system for its national parliament (the Assembleia da República) has changed very little.

Under the Supplementary Vote, the winner is therefore the candidate who can build the broadest coalition of support, rather than simply the one who finishes first in a fragmented field.

What is the Supplementary Vote, and why is it being used in Manchester?

On Thursday 30 July, Greater Manchester will be electing a new mayor. The by-election follows Andy Burnham’s decision to return to Westminster, but it’s not just the mayor who will b
