Is kind of annoying that in most areas especially mine tactical voting is the only option if i dont want the torries back in. I saw this posted on another thread https://stopthetories.vote/ Seems to have been updated for the most recent local elections.

From memory the BBC have a decent tool on their site closer to the election that allows you to do something similar with choosing topics important to you which then suggests the party manifesto most aligned to your priorities.

Their downstream series is much more about interviewing people with “interesting” ideas across the political spectrum, than just platforming people they agree with. They often contain lively disagreements with people from the right. In this case Galloway has foreign policy views that are similar to those of Novara but he has shown just how much of a social conservative he is, likely influenced by his own admission that he has become increasingly religious as he has aged.

I’m going to pretend this was done in honour by a former lover or two. I prefer that world.

I know next to nothing about this but I’d assume the public money cost would be around sending out all the voter cards, organising venues for the voting, cost of processing the votes at various stages etc.

I occasionally use Revolut for their one time use disposable virtual cards. It’s a nice app and a feature that’s included in the free standard plan. Only problem I’ve had is sometimes the card will be rejected because the vendor thinks it’s a reloadable card (presume that’s how it’s implemented behind the scenes), so for subscriptions and such it’s not accepted on occasion. The virtual card rotates to a new card once it’s been used. I more frequently use Monzo plus. Works slightly differently, they allow you to create up to 5 virtual cards, which you can reuse, or use once, delete the card and then create a new one. Monzo plus is £15 a month, so depends if you value their other features. Never used privacy.com but as I understood it, it’s more like monzo plus, but without the 5 card limit.
