Do you want a separate sub forum for the General Election 2024?

There’s a majority! What kind of democracy is this?!

We are here to critique democracy, not to practice it...

I think im probably leaning towards a sub forum.

THe amount of interest and debate - and threads - around the eleciton is only going to grow over the next six weeks. (we havent had the seat /share of the vote predicton thread yet. then theres norn iron and scotland and wales who warrent threads of their own ) . And this is a looking to be a Big Exciting Election -with a tory wipe out on the cards - and the fun of their campaign crashing on take off. So yeah.

I lied about the underpants.

I feel guilty now.

I was swayed by what it said on the bus.
I feel like a fool now.

 

[ska invita]

Might need that subforum after all

 

[Epona]

Might make it a bit easier to find election related discussion, but I imagine a lot of UK P&P threads will be about that anyway...
Might make avoiding it a bit easier

Can we have our forum then editor?

I think sub forms do have that right, must have that right, it is an ongoing situation

What about dom forums?

Megathreads are the worst thing about this place, IMO. I don't understand the fear of starting a new thread for a new topic.

Ian Bothan has just died? Cool, start a RIP thread. Don't bump the thread about his dispute with the RSPB just because it's the most recent thread you could find that featured him.

They're hard to keep up with, go off on wild tangents, and end up with the same handful of people arguing from entrenched positions.

They also bury potentially important/interesting news that might have been of interest to other posters who aren't in the megathread for whatever reason.

Rather than thread merges we could request splices.

Amazing idea. Let a hundred threads bloom

I have an idea that I'm slightly interested in: what about a sub forum to host discussion on all forthcoming and archived election chat?

Like the post if you think it's a whizzo idea or just ignore it. I don't care. No irons in the fire, not my hill to die on etc etc,

It might work. (I'm often linking to VoteUK which does exactly this).

Sometimes I see all the by-election threads started by myself and steveseagull and feel a bit guilty that we've flooded general

 

[PR1Berske]

I've started a prediction thread for Islington North (UK election poll: Islington North)

I've two more in mind, though wary of spamming the forum, I'll leave these if the consensus is that against doing this.

This was why we needed a sub forum.

Completely. Mega threads become mega time wastes. A sub forum would allow one to select topics of interest to read.

 

[editor]

OK, I'll launch a General Election 2024 forum when I get a moment and then it can morph into a 'Elections/general/local/archive' one after.

 

[PR1Berske]

prepares to do all 650 constituencies as separate threads

 

[PR1Berske]

(I'm joking moochedit . I'm sober, mass thread starting only happens after drinking )

 

[editor]

'Tis here UK General Election 2024

 

[SpookyFrank]

I was against this but now I'm like oh look, lots of related threads in one convenient location.

Also makes non-election threads easier to find amongst all the what colour hat is George Galloway wearing this season stuff.

 

[brogdale]

I think if the sub-forum gets archived, I'll start a new Political Polling thread in UK P, P & CA for the run down to 2029!

Probably makes sense to have a new one each election cycle.

Might be worth having somewhere for by-election threads if they're as numerous as the previous parliament.
