US elections are a popularity contest. Always have been. Uncharismatic candidates have only won if they've been veeps, or the opponent was somehow even less charismatic (1968).

Yeah, find an America-born Mamdani. I don't see one around at the moment - AOC is the closest, but not quite there.

Wait, SEGA was founded by two Americans to sell slot machines to US military bases in Japan? And it's short for 'SErvice GAmes'?? And it was once owned by the same media conglomerate as Paramount? Which is why Paramount now makes Sonic movies?

This feed is not perfect (it confused Newcastle with the one in US, and of course today it's all about New York) but it's better than nothing for trying to stay a bit more focused on UK news.

They're accidentally close to the margin but for the wrong reasons - undercounting Mamdani and overcounting Sliwa. (and their 1st Nov poll was even worse)

London, Paris, New York. I wonder if I'll ever live to see a migrant win in Tokyo. I guess being from Kansai is as close as it gets.
