After transfers there will only be one candidate left - or stop transferring when two candidates are left?

So you support reallocating enough car parking bays to shift all of the micromobility parking bays onto the carriageway?

Maybe, but what about the UAE, Kuwait, etc?

I was thinking less of elimination order changing the result than of it producing results that seem wrong or unintuitive. That seems quite common with the last senate position, but less so in single-selection contests.

It was a real struggle sometimes with the Senate ballot papers in Australia (and New South Wales)... so many possible choices for last place.

Australia has compulsory full preferencing in the House, and limited required preferencing in the Senate. Never been a problem, though I can remember it was hard sometimes deciding who to put last on the huge senate ballot papers.

Coming from Australia,this seems like a complete no-brainer. I’ve never heard of anyone, ever suggesting we switch to FPTP.

Australian experience is that order of elimination effects are very limited in the House (constituencies) but a huge factor in the Senate (pr)

Yes, every household gets a choice between 100 cc/traffic filter permits, 100 bus trips, or credit towards buying a cycle or getting one serviced.

Good to see the Conservatives have sunk to the point where no one can even be bothered voting against them.

And the bridge over the A40 to Land North of Bayswater Brook

This is totally regressive. Raising fuel duty (and/or road pricing) is pretty much the softest way of restraining motor traffic volumes. Without that we are going to need much more drastic measures.

I've just requested this from the Bodleian (which seems to have three copies of different editions, but all in storage) - will have to read it in the library.

And the Russian attacks are surely more sophisticated and better coordinated.

Supertanker permeability missing?Poorly designed continental structure.

What's the best book on Pedestal?

One error in it - the presenters confuse Oxford's "traffic filters / congestion charge" (main road restrictions designed to keep key routes clear for buses) with its "low traffic neighbourhoods" (which keep through motor traffic entirely out of areas of residential side-streets).

Mail on Sunday front page, with the headline "FOREIGN-BORN VOTERS STOLE BY-ELECTION BLASTS FARAGE"

Today's Mail on Sunday is going full-on MAGA with a claim that "foreign-born voters" stole the Gorton and Denton by-election...

‘I live in constant fear’: surge in giant sinkholes threatens Turkey’s farmers Falling groundwater, extreme heat and water-intensive farming are accelerating land collapse, forcing a rethink in agricultural practices

Half of this is about the Greens, Galloway, and even the LibDems!

Trump officials move to kill system that protects US from chemical disasters EPA rolls back rules as chemical firms claim provisions in RMP protection system too expensive to implement

Apparently chemical disasters are one of the things that will make America great again.

The Remain vote was higher in Oxford East and the demographics skew to better educated, so I doubt Reform would get 20%. Would be a more obvious Green-Labour fight. Interesting question how much of the IOA vote was anti-establishment rather than anti-traffic measures.

The Man Who Stole Infinity | Quanta Magazine In an 1874 paper, Georg Cantor proved that there are different sizes of infinity and changed math forever. A trove of newly unearthed letters shows that it was also an act of plagiarism.

How much did Cantor copy from Dedekind? www.quantamagazine.org/the-man-who-...

There are drawbacks to all forms of voting, but I think STV dominates FPTP - there are only very contrived situations where the latter produces more natural outcomes.

Where boundaries go is not completely arbitrary. One goal of the reorganisation is to make planning and transport better coordinated.

It is indeed. See wanderingdanny.com/oxford/2026/... But I was replying to a post about the 3 council aka “Greater Oxford” proposal

Still can't wrap my head around a "Greater Oxford" that doesn't even include the Eynsham Park&Ride.

How useful is historic data when two parties that previously got maybe 5% of the vote are now getting 60% between them?

But some of that machine - key activists - may have gone to the Greens (or possibly Reform).
