I think it does make a difference. When the parties are voted for before forming the coalition, you know exactly how many people supported them and their policies. Then the coalition is negotiated based on that. If you form the coalition first, then only the majorities inside the coalition matter for who has the most say, you have no way of knowing what’s important to the voters.
Haworth , the village the Brontës lived in, is another ghastly example. The conditions where so unsanitary that in 1850 the average life expectancy was 25.8 years and more than 40% died before the age of 6.
Except for Charlotte Brontë who made it to 38, all the Brontë children died by 31. And they probably didn’t even drink the water contaminated by runoff from the graveyard, as they had their own water source.
Another fun fact for the history nerds: B. Herschel Babbage, the guy who investigated the conditions on the invitation of the Brontë sisters’ father, was the son of mathematician Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Analytical Engine.
What about “glom of nit” though?
For what it’s worth, while there certainly are public bathrooms with stalls from floor to ceiling, the most common design does have gaps between the floor and the stall (at least here in Germany). Just not as big as the gaps in the US. You’d have to get uncomfortably close to the floor of a public bathroom to see anything. And no gaps between the door and the walls.
