Had this bill originated from the Commons, I would have been able to explain the basically-zero chance of this becoming law. However, PMBs are handled slightly differently by the Lords, so I don't want to spread misinformation about the process. See this article on the Lords website for more.
Regardless, absent government support, PMBs are the UK legislator's equivalent of parliamentary e-petitions: they rarely result in legislation being passed, and they compete with other initiatives for debate time.
In a nutshell, this bill will most likely die in the Lords.
Provisions for restoring the Supplementary Vote for mayoral and PCC elections are part of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026, but parts of it are yet to come onto force. It was changed for the Greater Manchester mayoral by-election, so I see no reason why the system won't change before the next GLM election
Shorts loop automatically, something I find annoying
Shorts have loads of UI over the video by default; while there is a "clear screen" button in the context menu, it doesn't persist, and is extra interaction that a normal video doesn't require
It's easier to scrub through a normal video on mobile; while there is a progress bar at the bottom of a short, you can't drag up on that bar to get fine-grained seeking
This is my "old man tells at cloud" moment and I'm okay with that.
I agree with your general vibe but it's worth noting that this was semi-proportional.
Hungary uses Mixed-Member Majoritarian, so the constituency seats do not influence the proportional seats. Mixed-Member Proportional generally attempts to make the final seat count match the list vote as close as possible, whereas in MMM, it's almost as if the constituency seats and list seats are for two separate-but-parallel elections.
To put this in perspective, Tisza (the winning party) got 53% of the list vote, but nearly 70% of the seats (which is even more significant because in Hungary, you need 67% of the seats in their unicameral parliament to amend the constitution). MMP would have not awarded such a large majority; they would have got about 106 seats instead of 138.
Again, big fan of proportional representation, and while Hungary's system is technically better than what we have here in the UK (unless you're Scottish, Welsh, Norther Irish, or a Londoner), it's not really a good example of PR.
I'm wondering if the UI for the chat van be tweaked slightly? Long usernames cause the actual text of the message to be squashed on mobile. This is what it looks like in Icewolf:
Reminds me of when my VP of engineering told me to be careful when trying to get to the TypeScript Playground. Googling "ts playground" brought him to a site that was absolutely not safe for work.
This is a Private Members Bill.

Woah, good to know. Thanks for the response!
Is there a way for the Senate to reassign those committee seats to someone else? Do chairs have deputies or similar?
It's the 4-in-1 special
I'd be one of them. I've got some reading to do later.
I'm pretty sure it does. I remember thinking "of course they would implement it like that" when I first encountered a short as a regular video.
Speaking for myself here:

Ahh, I forgot about GOG, fair enough
Sure, but at least Steam allows you to burn backups of games to a disc. Haven't seen other platforms let you do that yet

Looks great, thanks!

Well... That's kinda terrifying
