Prior to the Tasmanian election I produced a blog post mapping out the relative strength of candidates within the same party ticket in some electorates at the 2021 election. The maps showed which of a party’s candidates topped the vote for that party in each booth in a particular electorate. Today’s post is an update of that post, based on the 2024 results. There was a number of electorates where a clear story is told when you plot the booth results for a party’s candidates. This table shows the relative strength of each candidate in a party’s ticket. |

This piece is obviously in answer to some of the recent comparisons of Marjorie Taylor Greene to Neville Chamberlain, a comparison, the writer points out, that doesn’t stand up. But not for the reasons I imagined. |

Less than 100 days before the next Olympic Games in Paris, we can clearly feel the excitement and joy gripping the entire country. The capital and its inhabitants are clearly rejoicing in the festivities and never has the word “Olympic events” found such a beautiful resonance with what Parisians are currently going through, who are now enjoying every minute of anticipation of these future great moments.

US President Joe Biden has implored his supporters to choose “freedom over democracy,” in the latest of a long series of gaffes and verbal blunders. Conservative pundits have viewed the incident as more proof that the 81-year-old is unfit for office. Speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Thursday, Biden rattled off a string of buzzwords as he asked voters whether they would choose him over former President Donald Trump in November’s presidential election. |

The legal team representing high-powered insurers Lloyd’s and Arch says that since the Nord Stream explosions were “more likely than not to have been inflicted by… a government,” they have no responsibility to pay for damages to the pipelines. To succeed with that defense, the companies will presumably be compelled to prove, in court, who carried out those attacks.
