He would have to give up eating sandwiches in public if he agrees.


To spin things in a positive light, at least there are more councillors representing the “progressive” parties than not.
(I concede that the definition for progressive may be subject to opinion)


TFL did a study related to this which was cited when Wales set the default speed to 20.
They found that there was minimal difference in emissions between the two speeds. Any benefit of lower drag etc is countered by the fact that the engine is not geared well for 20 so generally it will be the same or only slightly better doing 20. (I am making the assumption here that lower emissions will equal less fuel usage.)
However, the greatest benefit is that there are less cars on the road because it encourages active travel and discourages driving. So comparing driving to not at all is a huge fuel difference.
I can’t find the exact study I looked at before, but I think this might be similar: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/the-impact-20mph-limits-and-zones-in-london.pdf
Pretty much all of the progressive parties in my constituency have been selling themselves as the “tactical choice”, despite there being a new proportional voting system in Wales that doesn’t really allow that.
The Greens seem to be the worst for it, to the point of citing a poll back in January that said they were neck and neck with Reform for the last seat. You would expect better from them really, its kinda putting me off.


They must be targeting specific areas. So far I have got about 6-8 things from Green (including one glossy magazine type thing), and they are the only party I have seen door knocking. Reform I have only got the one “letter” - in an envelope I assume because they are the most disliked party and they are getting this happening often.
I was having a chat about this with a UX guy. His argument for using a similar flow was that the username/email will have to be validated at the point of registration anyway so you might as well make it easier for the user when the email is wrong. I couldn’t really refute this logic.
If you throttle both login and registration, then surely the risk is minimised while keeping the user happy?
The problem is though, if you buy them enough, any other salt and vinegar crisps just taste like ready salted.
