SFL makes an excellent point here. US Greens are a useless party. We both use FPTP for elections...

Labour needed that too, didn’t they? So the boundaries are basically fair. Except that they didn't really "need" it at all, as some of us pointed out all along. The same will likely be true for the Tories when (if?) they return to power.

From July 2016 to January 2017, the UK Prime Minister was older than the US President. Theresa May was born in 1956, and Barack Obama was born in 1961.
Prior to that, the last time the UK PM was older than the US President was Gordon Brown (born in the 1950s) when Obama was President. John Major was born in 1943, while Bill Clinton was born in 1946. Before that, you have to go back to Douglas-Home (born in 1903) when Kennedy was President (he was born in 1917).
If Harris wins, the US President be younger, since Vice President Kamala Harris was born in 1964 and Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KC was born in 1962.
