You completely missed the point I made. It doesnt matter if there isnt a single one i the UK.
As i already stated while universal healthcare is clearly a leftist issue that people who are in the center or on the right can still adopt it. Even if everyone on the more right end of the spectrum is adopting sone left principle doesnt make them left so long as overall the principles thry embody average to be on the right.
That said, being an absolute scale, the UK is fsr more weighted to the left side of tbe spectrum than the right.
Single payer healthcare isnt on the left rigbt access unless you specifically mean tax paid forced health care (universal) which usually is the case with single payer, but that need not be the case.
Moreover a person can be right on some issues yet overall left. Hilary is center left on a erage. Some issues will be right sone will be left.
But universal tax paid healthcare iz left in both the us and uk, to emphasize the fact that the spectrum is absolute.
@cwh050 I know right... with these ifyou use them right you wont pull off strands... however if you dont you will.
Most people clamp down and pull, that will take wires. If you clamp down, then let go and pull the insulation off with your hand it wont take wires.
Scales are absolute, not relative. You are probably thinking torry vs labour not right vs left.
@05437f7b89c5ac8ce420493d93f47c9c992c92a40c176bc1bc26efa28582ad72 These feathers give such a close shave you get right down the muscle :)
@Firesledge ck and jonard brands are both on amazon. I think thry are the same tool but rebranded.
If you do any sort of #Electronics work where you have to strip tiny wires of 20 AWG or less I highly recommend you get yourself a precision wire stripper.
@Dashtop few reasons...
1) electric razors are messy and you get hair everywhere. Only really works if you do it before a shower or else you are covered with hair
2) this one is minor, but razors make the cut hairs sharp. this can sometimes give you hair splinters
3) most important, a closer shave
4) it helps that you smell so nice when done from soap.
@gpowerf I guess... the real reason seems to be fear of getting cut.
@gpowerf yea im new to safety razors but I dont think I ever saw a safety razor or blade for sale in all my travels. Rarely see them in the USA either. Got all my stuff online... shame really as its hard to see why we ever moved away from these.
@a25ff9fcdc949f4e9f03f6777808b880b12effa07c39a1936c72942e2eefb953
ill take what I can get :)
So I bought like 30 different shaving soaps and a lather brush and the whole deal... Anyway the one I picked today had like tobacoo in it, not the smoke but the fresh leaf. As much as I hate the smell of tobacoo smoke this smells soooo good.
Feelin fresh.
Its a psychological myth because its based on a perceived advantage that isnt an advantage at all, and thus doesnt exist.
If people beleive this myth then they pool their resources to get someone elected that is evil and abuses them, they didnt win anything at all.
When the belief isnt believed in by the people then you have no coalitions and the most moral and best person wins, since people vote for who is best, not who is popular.
I generally agree with that. I'd even go one further and say that votes for congress means more than the president as well.
RCV allows for third parties support to just become more visible, and can counter-act thepsychology component of the 2-party myth... So it can fix the problem, but is only needed because the myth exists at all.

A 2-party system is a mathematical consequence of plurality voting. While ranked voting as suggested by @ambihelical is impractical (for both voting equipment and voting comprehension), simply voting for more than 1 is already supported by all voting equipment, readily understood by voters, and already in use for many local races.
It also increases the likelihood that no candidate will gain 270 electoral votes in the case of the Presidential.
For that case, I recommend we follow the constitution and vote for electors, NOT presidential candidates. As it is, you have to work pretty hard to even know the name of the electors you are voting for. They are not put on the ballot. It is well worth meeting them.

No it isnt a mathematical consequence (im well aware of what you are talking about).. it is a psychological consequence that can be described by math... which makes it a choice not an invevitablity.
There is a reason first-past-the-post voting has resulted in multiple parties in other countries. Hell even int he USA we have had third parties take over as primary party 8 timesin US history... so plenty of evidence it isnt a mathematical inevitablity.
It would be more accurate to say it returns in sharper changes in the dominance of third parties where they take over in a single election cycle.
