Actually rational take?? Holy hell

This year's general election, after all the votes counted, has a

  • Sainte-Laguë index of 48.36, and a
  • Gallagher index of 23.75.

This makes the (dis)proportionality worse than HUNGARY's (my home) FPTP component (SLI = 36.96) – a component of the mixed system which allows our ruling party to get 2/3 supermajorities each time, every time, with sometimes less than 50% of the votes, and which ultimately transformed our country to an "electoral autocracy"

You guys need electoral reform desperately. And do it before someone cheats with the current rules deliberately.

(PS: I calculated the electoral indices using the python package voting)

Jesus Christ almighty… This was on the same level as Portugal's shocker. Complete wipeout in the defence, midfield, and attack in every minute. ._.

I'm pretty sure that Turkey and Portugal both drawing or winning would have been enough, but damn Portugal just didn't get it today. Oh well, at least I can hate on Southgate now.

PS: Please ignore the first part of the comment, I didn't realise what I was replying to. But yes, Turkey losing by 3 or more points would have been it.

thank mr skeltal

Hungary going through depends on the Czechs not winning. So uhhhhhhh.... please don't win, Czechia!

ppl learning German: OMG 4 cases‽ Hungarian: we have 18 cases, none of them resemble any language, and we have way too many irregularities. glhf.

on the date format: it's great when it's fully written out, but I specifically prefer the 2000 version of ISO 8601: it allows for a --02-24 format for month and date, and the extra dash clarifies that the year is missing

proudly representing the best order from Hungary. It just makes more sense with Hungarian.

 

I am in the opinion that some alternative UIs should be available on the instance (domain) – if possible, of course. Lemmy.world already has many alt. UIs, I think we should have something like that. So, here's a list:

dem. socialism is centre-left at best... stop looking at everything through the Trump-esque """Radical left""". I know you're a conservative, but people all around the political spectrum want to spend more on better public healthcare, slam down on gun violence, improve democracy.
