The quote limit here is going to be a problem, which is why I took to editing out the outer quotes.
Or I guess I could up the quote limit on the forum for shiggles.

BTW, if this round doesn't do it for Kev, all the historical examples that took longer are pre-civil war, with the worst examples being part of the run up to it.
Re: Indecision 2022
Well, we've made it back to before the Civil War.

Kevin Hern seems to be going in the right direction. Might take a while.

At Mcarthy's current rate of vote loss, he'll have zero votes in 615.15 votes (according to the linear fit I just did).

Perhaps the Orthodox Church is right about the proper date of Xmas.
Other historical events are also acceptable.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

I reckon the most apt one is the confirmation of Harold Godwinson as King of England, which led to 1066 and all that.Little waster wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:17 pmPerhaps the Orthodox Church is right about the proper date of Xmas.

I think this means that Quebec is going to invade because they won't like the result.
Re: Indecision 2022
Failed on the 10th attempt. Probably an 11th attempt in a bit.

He is Luigi Cadorna, "Hero" of the Isonzo and ICMFP.
Little injoke there for all the Great War geeks.

Re: Indecision 2022
The last time it took so long was just before the Civil War.
I'm sure we don't need to worry

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

If this was a password they'd be blocked by now. What a quaint system unprepared for the absurdities of the modern age.

But yeah, it seems that promoting dysfunction by refusing any compromise is a modern political force that these decrepit old constitutions don't handle well.

Re: Indecision 2022
11th attempt failed too.
Re: Indecision 2022
Its kinda funny. But also messed up that a minority of folks can veto the house picking a speaker.
Not sure why I'm surprised though... minority rule is the cornerstone of republicanism.

Re: Indecision 2022
To be fair, the same could happen in the UK. We might get a similar situation if the Tories had a slim majority but the ERG refused to back the Tory candidate.
