Perhaps this page should include a link to the critical Voting Page? A5889261 I mean. It's linked to the tragically underused Scandals and Rumors page, but not to the voting instructions page

By the way, who's winning?

I've stuck the link in.

As for who's winning, I'm currently not in a position to divulge that information. All I will say though is one candidate has almost 50% of the vote share and three are yet to get off the mark.

Yeah, I already read that... I was trying that old Bugs Bunny trick. Ask quick and they'll give you an answer before they know it.

You could always divulge that information just to me. I'm very trustworthy

You could also give that information to me. I won't tell, promise

You'd have to get up very early in the morning to catch me out like that you know

Minister-Elect Footbacon has already said she won't tell me. She is to be trusted implicitly

"You'd have to get up very early in the morning to catch me out like that you know"

I get up very early. It's the time zones that ruin my plans.

Minister elect?
Pah.

Croz, how do you calculate 50% of the vote share when the election isn't finished and potential voters may not yet have cast their ballots (i.e the total is unknown surely so how do you get 50% of nothing?)

I'm only asking 'cos I'm interested, mind

I get up 12 hours before all of youse but as I don't care too much who's winning that's not much help is it.

But you might say I have a vested interest

I have a vested interest.

So we are both wearing vests. Fascinating...

I of course mean 50% of the current vote share

Maybe we picked that up from Vestboy. He has lots of wierd sh*t sticking to his though.

good good i had wondered.

Is he contagious?

Well both you and I are now wearing vests And I bet we're not the only ones! *looks round pointedly*

I do wonder if croz'd be so good as to give us an enigmatic update on the current vote share as it stands today?

You'll have to wait until I get home, I don't have access to the tally from work. And even then I won't be naming names until after the polls close next week and a proper count can be done.

Awww nuts.

Fair cop.

Wait, if somebody has over 50% of the (current) 1st preference votes, that means that all our 2nd, 3rd, 4th... preference votes are meaningless!

All that time I wasted planning what order to vote in was wasted!
