No parker bros bought the rights in the 1960s and sent it massive. It was invented by a guy called Charles Kennard in the 1890s

I much prefer the good luck explanation though

Apparently Hasbro own the name now and brought out a Stranger Things 'tie in' a few years back as if it's like a cute tv show merch thing and not the beginning of a life ruining horror narrative

It's only bad if grandma has a deeper voice than you expected

Hasbro now own the name and apparently have noticed how weird it is so they don't really shout about it but occasionally they do bring out a new 'edition' – latest one was a 'stranger things' one a few years back

I don't know how they got to such a silly system. I guess it's unavoidable

I mean among those randoms are no doubt some really good candidates not recommended by the NT but nobody has time to go through all this.

I agree but it's ridiculously overstuffed with total randoms. Another way of cutting down your research time is to visit the farage-approved 'reform trust' site, note down their approved candidates, and just avoid voting for them.
October 31, 2025 at 9:26 AM
That's probably the better way of doing it! I do feel bad for all the non-NT recommended competent and normal ones
October 31, 2025 at 9:20 AM
Oh and I should have said: choosing the 'quick vote' option is a quick way of avoiding the anti-woke headbangers. I'm sure there's many good candidates in the others and I do feel bad for them but it's absurdly overstuffed.

If you choose the 'recommended candidates' slate it does it quickly for you. They are the competent ones who enjoy acknowledging the existence of historical reality.
