There is no longer a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Proportional representation is as British as first-past-the-post.

Social media has emboldened an army of online Islamophobes; in the real world, mosques have been firebombed and politicians line up to condemn Muslim terrorism/clothing/meat/seating arrangements.

I have a long history of defending, and promoting, free speech and open debate - especially (especially!) within Muslim communities.

I like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald's. I'm completely turned off by the idea of politics.

The government invented the Internet.

Here, also, has been evolved the form of government consistent with the largest possible civil liberty.

I think politics often seems remote, and anything we can do to show more of the workings - how you make the sausage - is useful.
