Ranting on Twitter is one thing… But it won’t get the Tories out This will though: It’s the first ever UK website that has up-to-date tactical voting info specifically for the local elections next week This is your moment Take it. stopthetories.vote

As someone so succinctly put it on reddit:

This sentiment, whilst understandable, is an appeal to ignorance. Simply, patterns within chaotic systems can be modelled. Thankfully we have rather brilliant science communicators on hand such as Sabine Hossenfelder. Watch and learn. youtube.com/watch?v=i5fwYt…
