    these are separate issues; i never said signalling is the end game, but it has to start there and build

    if you want IRV etc to be in the same category as abortion rights and cannabis (as in majority of people think “why the fuck isn’t this done yet?” rather than “huh? what?”) then it starts with simply convincing politicians to acknowledge their support for it - heck even acknowledging it as an issue

    there is literally no way to get to policy through a grassroots without it first having a few people “signalling”

      How do you start? How does it “build?” How does this translate into reality?

      Reality doesn’t run on 40k Ork magic logic, ideas don’t become material reality if you believe hard enough.

        are you literally questioning whether concrete policy comes from discussion? do you think 1 guy just snaps his fingers and makes it so?

        politics doesn’t require 1 action… politics and swaying large groups of people requires those people to discuss and support to build over time
