Their studio stream was fine as usual but Dan's 'election' footage was awful and the both of them had very bad directional mics that were clearly cutting out every time they didn't have an exact position. Either that or they were just using very mad mics and even if Dan found it funny It got annoying after awhile with his green shirt fucking up the green screen lol. You also had classic boomer audio problems of people phoning in with their speakers on which inevitably created an echo and I wish they'd stop doing that and learn how to audio.
Agree with the top-of-the-hour Results updates. They were pretty cringe.
Another few observations
in true Lotus Eaters style, they rotated panelists every hour but didn't introduce anyone or have name graphics. Same issue I have with their YT clips - I barely ever know who their guests are and they don't even add their bios to the YT Descriptions.
it's odd how late it was until any substantial returns came in. They didn't have much to report on for individual ridings until 4-5 am local time. Federal results are historically available much faster in Canada, even back when votes were counted manually, even with polls closing at different times across 6 time zones. Votes used to be tabulated so quickly that the feds passed laws banning TV networks from posting wins from closed Eastern jurisdictions while Western polls were still open.
strange to watch an election broadcast without the seat totals graphic across the bottom
I'll be honest I had MSM maps in the background while I was watching as for the time frame I thought 5:00am wasn't all that bad. We still managed to do it all pretty quickly compared to the Americans in 2020 which was a total clusterfuck by anyone's standards. An important point that foreigners might not have picked up on with the UK too we have the US equivalent of voter ID laws now, so you have to bring ID with you in order to vote which is a good thing overall to prevent fraud. This is why even Sargon was saying on the stream he regards the voting process itself as pretty ironclad and I agree with that.
The only way anyone's ever gotten away with cheating in the UK is if it's blatant and they're all in on it to a degree, which is why they heavily rely on pandering to voting blocs and mass migration. The Conservatives had this plan where they were going to try mass importing Indians because of how they would often vote Conservatives as opposed to Muslims voting for Labour.
By the way, a key policy in Labour which was clearly them pandering to the Muslims was them taking charge on Palestine and demanding a ceasefire etc. from Israel. Which shows you exactly where their priorities lie.
UK, Yorkshire, won't reveal exactly where for obvious doxxing reasons.
I watched some of the Lotus Eaters election stream.
Which made me realize I know zero British geography.
