  You don’t win an election under proportional representation unless you get to form the executive. FPTP brain is apparently unavoidable even for journalists who live under PR systems. (You can be the largest party but that doesn’t give you power unless you can form a coalition.)

  I am surrounded by older men playing videos with sound on. On a fucking train.
