I've had it up to here with people calling south Buckinghamshire "progressive." The Guardian recently alluded to it being "bourgeois bohemian."
Somewhere doesn't vote over 50% Tory in 2001 if it's progressive!


"bourgeois bohemian" is beyond parody and hilariously ridiculous.

Wait...what?

"Eight other candidates have been nominated. Top of the ballot paper is Andrew Gray, an independent candidate from Harrogate who claims to be the AI-powered candidate. I suppose it had to happen at some point. "

Wait...what?

"Eight other candidates have been nominated. Top of the ballot paper is Andrew Gray, an independent candidate from Harrogate who claims to be the AI-powered candidate. I suppose it had to happen at some point. "

Here's his website: https://www.andrew-gray.org/
This is what hell looks like: AI generated political manifestos and vague sentiments about improving democracy through using "technology".

"Andrew Gray: Driving Democracy with Ethical AI"

"By combining the power of technology and local voices, we can address real issues, find consensus and achieve true democracy."

"Join this constituency conversation, make statements and cast your opinion. See how technology can help us achieve true consensus."

"In a UK-first – perhaps even a world first – on the 26 June 2023, Andrew Gray began to crowdsource the views of the people of the Selby and Ainsty constituency, using machine-learning AI, in order to create this manifesto."

Edit: The statement below is so confoundingly vague and bland it could only be made by AI or a sleep deprived former corporate public relations spokesperson with dementia:

"Maintain support for Ukraine but be open to pragmatic peace deal that delivers for the people of Ukraine

North Yorkshire stands proudly with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine."

Edit #2: How is 54% a "sweeping consensus"?

"Distance ourselves from the US

The Special Relationship has been especially one-sided of late, and their turmoil should not affect our economic stability.

The consensus…

I want close alignment with the USA

Sweeping Consensus – 54% Disagree"
