It should have been a month later, so we could say "May the 4th be with you".

Semi colon D!

I don't feel particularly invested in any of the front runners. You mentioned Rebecca LB earlier, she's interesting but i fear people may be afraid of another left winger. I like how she talks though.

The headline though seems to be if it wasn't for those pesky voters, we would have won. A party aiming to win a majority in the UK needs to to some extent either embrace the system and not imply that the majority of voters are stupid and sheep, or make tearing down the system the objective, and somehow convince people it is needed.

Yes, I can't see her being successful in this.

The confirmed field. The next stage may well reduce the numbers.
