In every other country in Europe @BorisJohnson would be in the opposition now. In the UK, it's a landslide victory for him. Bizarre. #MakeVotesMatter #UKElection #GeneralElection2019 #EFT pic.twitter.com/pLoL1q5oq4

If you need another example for why the UK system is totally broken: The #LibDems got roughly three times as many votes as the #SNP, yet don't even get a quarter of their MPs. #UKElection #GeneralElection2019 #EFT

#BREAKING #UKElection results in! Public gives clear mandate for #PeoplesVote, thoroughly rejecting #Brexit – Wait, why is everyone reporting the opposite? – They select their MPs how? – Isn't that like super undemocratic & distorting the results? – But that makes no sense!? #EFT pic.twitter.com/SWjW7KlyXL

Probably not a particularly new insight, but the First-Past-The-Post-System is completely broken. The Conservatives gain 1-2% overall and suddenly it's a landslide. #GE2019 #GeneralElection19 #UKElections2019 #EFT

The results are still trickling in, but it's clear now the #ExitPoll is right. What are the take-aways:
1. Corbyn has to go. Considering the mess the Conservatives have made over the last three years, Labour should poll at 55%, not 30%. #GeneralElection2019 #EFT— Expected Futility (@ExpFutility) December 13, 2019

It's election night in the UK and I'm at the counting station. This feels like the appropriate setting to start the "Expected Futility Theory" project for real. So let's go and see how long I can keep this up. I predict three weeks. The address is https://t.co/ZKVb0mecP9 #EFT
