Given that weakism has completely abandoned rationality, I expect that the British will soon be as sorry about this kneejerk landslide as they are about BrexTWIT. For Britain's sake, I hope I'm wrong. On the positive side: the SNP has taken a drubbing; Liz Truss lost her seat rather ungraciously, whereas others swamped by the changing tide were gracious losers; and, 30-years-wait-to-be-MP Nigel Farage's Reform accomplished little despite an annoying social media plague of Reform-bots.
A comment thread beginning with "Reform - 4 million votes and 5 seats. LibDem - 3.5 million votes and 71 seats" reveals much about the MAGA-like capacities of Reform voters = emotional reactivity with almost zero attempt to comprehend the underlying mechanisms of multi-party vote splitting in an FPP system.
