*** PCC New Cabinet ***
New leader of Peterborough City Council, #CllrShabinaQayyum has announced her new Cabinet!
➡️ #CllrChristianHogg (#LiberalDemocrat) has been named Cabinet Member for Housing and Regulatory Services.
I have long thought that, were I in the United Kingdom, I would almost certainly be a #LiberalDemocrat. The most recent failings of both the Conservative and Labour Parties have only solidified that belief. Thank you, #LibDems, for standing up for sanity, decency, and equality for all women. Yesterday's ruling by the Supreme Court of the UK will inevitably result in discrimination and violence against both cis women and trans women. #UKpol #TransWomenAreWomen #TransWomenBelongHere

"The correlation between the #Reformvote and the #LiberalDemocrat vote share was negative (-0.25) and the same was true for the #Greens (-0.27). When the Liberal Democrats and Greens did well, the Reform vote was reduced which means that both parties were rivals to Reform.

A question for British Mastodon (or those who know more than me).

Assuming there are only 2 choices - Labour and Conservatives

Would UK Reform voters mostly vote Conservative in this hypothetical

Would Green mostly vote Labour

And how the hell would a Liberal Democrat vote if their party were absent

I presume a not insignificant number of folks would stay home, but most would pick one of the 2, no?
