Some thoughts: Labour do well due to it being well positioned to recieve preferences in Scotland, this is why they are able to beat Reform despite getting fewer votes. Less proportional for smaller parties due to 5 member seats. Greens miss out a lot because of this.

Here's how I'd vote in (almost) every European country. I'm not an expert on their political systems so some of these are just vibes...

me when I received Norwegian citizenship through a grandparent despite not knowing the language or living there
If one has gotten as far as being granted a Norwegian passport, then one is Norwegian. A Norwegian passport is not handed out casually, it means the person has lived here for years, integrated into society, and been accepted as a citizen by the Norwegian state. Get over it.

The birth lottery is crazy, some people will spend years in the country to receive citizenship when I got it through a distant family connection.

my hot take for the day is that Burnham is winning this seat with a swing towards Labour from 2024
Current Nowcast Model for Makerfield, following the news that Josh Simons MP is standing down in a bid to get Andy Burnham a seat in Parliament.

I'm not a fan of the labour soft left but it's very clear Andy Burnham's agenda is the most pro-growth of any leadership contender
