Oh no Summer Rain is the first good track in this thread.

Colons to make sure the country and entry information get pasted into different columns too, perfect <3

Does anyone have a (pref spreadsheet-friendly [which most lists are]) pasteable list of entries <3

I've not listened to semi 2 yet but I'm realising how many artists I know have been sent!

Holland-Oats lost their entire top 4 yikes

Ojnoj out of the remaining four pls!

I've just woken up to my most ill-timed nap ever to this and it's the first thing I see. Wahey!

A FAN-MADE FLAG This dedication :cheeseblock:

The electorate forced him to take a remain position after his party got *14%* in the May 2019 elections.

22 tracks that I was happy to vote for jeez

I'm voting alright. Great semi!!

omg!!! This does indeed remind me of Sabrina the Teenage DJ which happens to be my favourite entry of yours in the last few years.

Not of these entries left an impression on me so good choices x uVkZNek2Yls idk

I'm late but: JFiDnErxU_A vEbzs9ekyT4 ZTkGTfsMRYE I think my most surprising DNQs come when I send pop like above, to the point where I probably shouldn't be surprised anymore. oEghSZ232Fgc And this was from an era where like 3/4 of my entries were DNQing so I was quite surprised that THIS was the track that stopped me getting 6 DNQs in a row.

6JSFbejaGDo About one month a year I send a pop song and I tell myself that THIS is how I expand my voterbase but in the end I get 29 points and they still all come from Rolloland and Terra Avium. This is that month.

I'm still not very optimistic and I think the polling averages are going to hide lots of unionist tactical voting under the surface for the constituencies. The projection for an average poll tends to show 10 or less non-SNP constituency wins, against 14 in 2016, but I'm not sure how realistic this is. Ballot Box's profiles of marginal seats are quite interesting. When you look more closely at SNP-held constituencies such as Perthshire South, you can see how the SNP vote can go up a few percent on 2016 (as polling averages show) but get overtaken by the Tories benefitting from the Lib Dem and Labour vote getting squeezed. And I think unionist Labour and Lib Dem voters - as well as Tories in, say, Lib Dem-held Edinburgh Western - will find it quite easy to get behind the main unionist challenger in an election about the union. It was the SNP who actually benefited from Labour and Lib Dem voters tactically voting in 2019, but that was a Brexit and Tory-opposition election. Those differences don't matter as much anymore, but the SNP vs. Labour position on the union is much more significant. With fewer constituencies won, the SNP's list votes will start to matter more, especially in the North East, Mid & Fife and South Scotland. And yet the SNP's list vote is looking pretty uninspiring. Without sweeping constituencies, the 2-3% that Alba draw from them could indeed hurt here. I was too pessimistic at the SNP's hopes in 2019 so let's hope I am here too. There will be a pro-indy majority regardless but I think certain sections of the media will portray a very convincing SNP plurality as not being a mandate for a referendum.

It would obviously be disastrous if Labour lost the seat and there's no spinning that, but the by-election is likely to have very low turnout compared to a General Election (and indeed one reason to distrust that constituency poll is that so many of a supposedly representative sample of voters believe they will vote) so nobody will be expanding their raw voter numbers here. It would, however, be a sign that Tory enthusiasm/get out the vote operation is better at the very least.

A third-party vote of 11% or less would be far, far lower than usual for a by-election, even when they are obvious two-horse races. Only the Richmond Park by-election would compare here.

It will be interesting to see how the Lib Dems do in such a constituency. We might get a better idea of how much the spectre of Corbyn actually was a problem in 2019 and how they fare in such a wealthy seat in a post-Brexit era with more traditional right-left politics restored. The Lib Dems scored a respectable second place in 2019 there but unlike many of their other second places, they have no history of doing well in the 90s and 00s and little council representation. The Tories have secured absolute majorities for over 70 years.

I'm happy to see the Iceland imagery as I will be sending Nordic (Scandinavian) pop like it's 2014 x

He's stated that he's voting Tory in May.

If you think about social attitudes in Britain in terms of social authoritarianism ('hang the paedos', curtain twitchers, a deep distrust of others) rather than social conservatism (anti-abortion, anti-LGBT views etc.) then it makes more sense.
