Rather runs against my environmental principles but too late to do anything about that now 
and who knows it might attract some votes.

I was going to say something about how Clive would get in trouble if anyone slept on him, but considering the similarity between the High Priestess's name and my own, I decided to leave well enough alone

Actually I wear Steel-toe-capped boots and a leather jacket. I do however compost my kitchen waste and stick tin-foil down the radiators
Guilty by Assocation, Mrs Pawloski?

Nope--just that my first impulse was to say (before you answered, my Warlord) that Amy wouldn't be too happy about that

Everyone does know you can vote for more than one parrty, right? 
The system is proportional representation. If your first choice is knocked out, then your vote is tallyed to your 2nd choice, then 3rd, and so on... until a winner with 51% of the vote is declared.

What if there's only one vote left on everybody's tally and they're spread equally between three candidates?

We hold a massive custard pie fight. Last person standing is the winner. It's all in the rules.

PR! I hate PR! First past the post is much better. It forces you to really choose.
I know what's going to happen, I'm going to feel all warm inside because I can vote for all the people I want.
That just doesn't feel right. I should be writhing in guilt! Don't you agree GodBen?

No. I like the PR system. It's complicated, so it must be good.
