Which is why any kind of factionalist within a political party will favour a 'closed list' version of proportional representation - and perhaps why the #blair government introduced such a system for elections to the #europeanparliament from #greatbritain shortly after taking office in 1997. 😜

Is Palantir the most evil company in the world?

Probably!

“Carole #Cadwalladr Exposes Palantir

‘It’s absurd and insane that we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Your devices are going to be monitored 24 hours a day. Palantir had a very secretive contract with GCHQ. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security. This company should be nowhere near the NHS’.”

👀 New gameplay trailer for Lucid Falls by Eldamar Studio, a minute of WILD atmosphere: dark forests, abandoned buildings and reality warping.

The game blends brooding mysticism like Alan Wake with the claustrophobic madness of Blair Witch: lucid-dream exploration with a flashlight, time/gravity/geometry manipulation, dream-logic spatial puzzles and surreal, nightmarish creatures. No release date yet, but the title already has an official...

"Durant son mandat, Blair a mis en place une équipe de « spécialistes de la mise en œuvre », dirigée par Michael Barber, fondateur et président de Delivery Associates, afin de privilégier la mesure des promesses plutôt que leur réalisation. Il en a résulté une dissociation entre les infrastructures et les émotions qu'elles suscitaient, et la nécessité de rendre compte de la prestation de services a commencé à remodeler le développement des infrastructures. Sur le plan électoral, Blair avait compris que les Britanniques aspiraient à une amélioration quotidienne des services publics. Mais au lieu de susciter ce sentiment en les restaurant réellement, il a opté pour le recours au financement privé, tout en créant une vaste classe de gestionnaires dont la mission était de garantir la réussite des services à tout prix. On compare rarement Blair et Johnson, mais ils présentent de nombreux points communs : tous deux étaient obsédés par l'impression que les infrastructures donnent au présent et indifférents aux conséquences à long terme de leurs promesses non tenues ; tous deux ont utilisé les promesses d'infrastructures comme stratégie électorale efficace, mais ils comptent aujourd'hui parmi les hommes politiques les plus impopulaires du pays."

When I say that I consider Tony #Blair to be the best Prime Minister of my lifetime (back to Callaghan), that is not to eulogise Blair. Rather, it is a searing indictment of literally all the others.

‘What a sad, backward-looking government this is: led by a man with the political nous of Rishi Sunak, still scared of the ghost of Liz Truss, and strangest of all beholden to Blairites, who themselves lived in the shadow of Margaret Thatcher.’

I just can’t understand the attraction of the #Blair era of politicians. There was a neoliberal taint to them in the 90’s. Vote #Starmer get has beens.

Zombie Blairites still have British politics in their grip – it’s time to break free

Tony Blair’s departure as PM should have prompted a fresh start for Labour. But Starmer’s sad, backward-looking government remains in his thrall, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

‘About 308,000 people are employed directly in businesses such as solar panel installation, home insulation, wind turbine manufacturing and electric vehicles.

When their supply chains and related businesses are taken into account, this reaches 1.1m jobs, and accounts for £105bn in “gross value added”, a measure of economic activity similar to GDP.

That equates to nearly 4% of the UK’s economic output.’

#Farage , #Badenoch and #Blair want this cancelled and for what?
