I analysed the 2023 local election results - this is a real thing: ⬇️Every position lower on the ballot within your party costs you ~1.2 percentage points of vote share. ⬆️Being an incumbent is worth ~1.7 percentage points, so being 2nd instead of 1st wipes out 70% of the incumbancy advantage. 🚻The effect hits men and women equally (Worth noting “Jeffery” is fairly high up the alphabet. DMs open for marriage offers)

Now the dust has settled from the local elections, it's time to talk about vote-rigging. In particular, the way in which a sinister force has been manipulating British democracy in council after council, year after year. That force? The goddamn alphabet. (1/?)

@ceritheviking There's also office space in the building, so that would bring the per unit price lower. But hard to calculate the value of that in the overall deal (based on the limited info in the article) .

This works out at 375 k an apartment if the apartments are ready to go. If the council have to convert the office buildings too as well as the other investment they mention this is a pricey old project for 78 units 🤔
Dan De'Ath@DeAthCardiff

A former Cardiff Bay office building is being turned into much needed council homes for families. @cardiffcouncil have acquired the 90,000 sq Scott Harbour building where we will provide 78 apartments. #Echobox=1749713277" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…

Darren Millar will be the third leader to come to power in Wales in two years without an election of party members, promising to unite groups hit by leadership rows. Neither ap Iorwerth or Morgan faced votes of their memberships.

Councils have essentially become social and children's care funding agencies, which, as most people don't use those services, means they don't really understand where all their council tax is going...
Jack Shaw@JackTShaw

In 2010-11 Hampshire County Council spent £381 million on social care - equivalent to 53 per cent of its budget. In 2024, it estimates it'll spend £809 million - equivalent to 83 per cent of its budget. That's unsustainable. From the FT:
