Well, I'm genuinely surprised that there are so many strong no votes, did not expect that given that so many people seem bothered by the persistence of politics threads

no need for a politics tag as long as we can see user names on sna

there seems to be a non-trivial amount of no voters whose argument is "the quality of discussion on politics threads is horrible, so let's make sure they are perpetually at the top of ILE".
I have never seen this expressed here, but maybe I don't have the right decoder glasses.

I spend half of half of my time having nervous breakdowns and worrying about surviving under the most (arguably) far-right Tory government we've had in the last century. And then realising how lucky I am because I have one terminally ill and one severely disabled in my house, and they haven't worked out how to murder us yet! But no matter what happens I will hate these people and their apologists forever, even if I win the lottery tomorrow.

Another option could be just renaming I Love Everything to I Love Politics and moving all the quality content to a new board.

Voting yes will trigger the article 77 process which will give us two years to negotiate the relationship between ILP and ILE. The negotiations will be spectacularly incompetent and result in ILP crashing out of ILE with no deal. Chaos will ensue.

This desire to subdivide cannot stand. I opt for dismantling all boards and all threads and make all of ilxor.com just one single thread.

As always De Subjectivisten are the front runners of this idea. We wrap the whole world and every topic imaginable into two threads: film (obv) and the shadow cabinet. It's not complicated.

Chances are slim I'd have learned about, let alone heard of, Joanna Wang, if it would have been a thread on an I Love Taiwanese-American Music borad.

I've changed my mind, I Love Politics should exist but if you post in it you're locked in and can't use any other board for 4 years.

Voted yes, because the "Rolling East German Nazi Mobs Attacking POCs With Impunity" thread I keep forgetting to start would take longer to drop out of sight on a separate board.
