Pix is wildly popular in Brazil 📈
it’s a free, inclusive, publicly-owned digital payment system… and it’s quickly become the most common payment method in 🇧🇷
but it cuts out US corporations — so now the US govt is trying to get it taken down.

Adding the 2016 votes might make the pattern a little clearer. The ex-2016 UKIP vote appears to have been split between Labour and Tory in 2021. These people may have now swapped to Reform, taking a few more 2021 Tory & Labour voters with them - with other 2021 Labour voters moving to Plaid. ???

Because of the large number of non-voters, it's very difficult to be sure over who swapped votes, and to where, or did and didn't vote who previously did or didn't. #Caerphilly #byelection #Plaid #Labour

Off to visit my native terrain, to practice the Manc Walk. Not needed to do it for a few years, so am a bit rusty. I'm sure I'll pick it up again in no time - like riding a bike.

Tally of the ani-DigitalID petition is 2,847,401 now signatures. According to the 3.5% Rule, that should be enough to affect political outcomes - as it represents 4.1% of the UK population. Whether the 3.5% rule still applies to “clicktivism”, as opposed to "meatspace" activism I don’t really know.
The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
