I think using a method of proportional representation is the most effective defence against gerrymandering. You cannot have unrepresentative elections when the system has representation built into it.

However, that would be difficult to do in the US from what I understand. There would need to be several changes to the law to give it a fighting chance.

Microsoft Windows was originally called “Wind OS”; the wavy logos from the earlier versions is supposed to be a flag waving in the wind. Consumers kept calling it Windos; eventually Microsoft conceded that the name had stuck and changed it to Windows for 3.1

France, if you squint slightly. Their two-round runoff is a better system, but it’s not proportional and can effectively become FPTP under certain conditions.

Wow, TIL, thanks for the info!

Oh okay, fair enough. Out of interest, what does Jagex have against the Brits?

Nope, just straight up blocked

I tried to follow that link and it seems Cloudflare blocked me. Don’t suppose you know who I’d need to talk to to resolve that would you?

I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I’ve forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.
