I made a determined effort not to campaign and IIRC was being beaten by RON up until the 6th-last or so elimination. RON is a serious contestant in STV with so many candidates given the large number of folks who vote for their mates and then stick down RON rather than leaving the form blank. I seem to remember he managed to reopen two delegate slots that year.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533540721427232602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-68372965757561999722010-05-22T16:15:27.947+01:002010-05-22T16:15:27.947+01:00Have fun with this one!

Naturally, I insisted that we elect by STV so had to spend a teach a bunch of 12 year olds about preferential voting (incidentally they understood in about 1 minute and I had no spoilt ballots - I'm sure an adult public could get their heads around it) and then subsequently get my head around an STV count with 9 candidates for 5 positions. <br /><br />One person was actually elected with 0 first preferences.
