There is a case to be made—and I've made it here before—that the Syrian civil war is the most important event of the 21st century. Possible deadliest war, generated a host of other conflicts, produced ISIS and massive European refugee crisis, possibly gave us Brexit and Trump...

Yeah the geography screams "disaffected PNL voters looking for a candidate" teapaw.org/Arnold_Platon/status/1…
The Georgescu vote correlates well with places that used to see PNL win, but now that vote collapsed. Transylvania, Bucovina, Prahova, Bucharest-Ilfov, Dobrogea are all former PNL-leaning areas. Iohannis and his boy Ciucă have a huge moral responsibility for this. Curse them!

in 125,000 simulations of the election, my statistical model foresaw a narrow Harris win with 54.9% probability however, the model also grouped a number of midwest & sunbelt into a new entity, known as “MEGA ARKANSAS” - an ominous prophecy which i am terrified may come to pass

Listen to Tom break down all the elements of Labour's big (ish?) win, what this means for the Tories & Reform + challenges to Starmer from the Left. Plus: Tricycle Recommends shoutouts to pieces by @MilanV, @CJTerry and this headline: 'Comment dit-on ‘false hope’ en français?'

The substack article is well worth a read.
Hey, what if someone had written a substack article about this that many people were calling "informative", "witty", "fun". Oh wait, I did that. It was me. electionschris.substack.com/…

This nails a profoundly important point about Labour’s deft interaction with – and partial reshaping of – the party system.
Brilliant, delightful and informative piece by @CJTerry: electionschris.substack.com/…

This is a good read on party strategy.
I decided to get one of those substack things people have and write about how Labour's victory is a reminder of how party strategy changes in a multi party, volatile environment. There's a bit about the 1977 Dutch election if you like that sort of thing open.substack.com/pub/electi…

🟠🔴 LibLab Tactical Voting Strategies Liberal Democrats gained most in seats where Labour won less than 20 points with an average increase of 9.6 points. They lost 1.4 points in seats where Labour won more than 20% of the vote. The signature of tactical voting is the almost exponential curve (red line) relating Labour party vote and Liberal Democrat vote. This signifies that Labour voters in seats where Labour couldn't win lent their votes to the Liberal Democrats. This is the only party combination that displays this level of tactical voting.

This is outstanding and will now be my go to response to all the “But Corbyn got a higher vote share” and “Labour didn’t win the Tories lost” reply guys - you’re all thinking about this the wrong way. Read Chris. And subscribe to his substack for more wisdom!

tl;dr : Men more likely to vote Reform; women more likely to vote Labour. BUT (!) much more variation on whether Labour have more support from women and by how much from poll to poll. Women are consistently less likely to support Reform - very few polls don't show this.
🗣️ NEW BLOG: "Traditionally, women in the UK were more likely than men to vote Conservative, whilst men were more likely than women to vote Labour". 👉 But what will happen at the 2024 election? ✖️ @cerifowler and @AnnaKSanders unpick the data. ukandeu.ac.uk/will-there-be-…
