Thanks again for this service you provide.
That was well contested.
v + c
good luck to the winner.
I admire your commitment to this reporting
george is doing well, with more preperation he might have won, maybe next chance will be his chance to shine
* month
Yeah. Nice of him to secure the win for AMD.

Appears I’ve blown my life savings on DoctorSF again
Hmmm - much closer than I thought - Judas can still win this....
Lol. Classic cc
Still plenty of time but hopefully the number of voters pick up. Tis the stat I care more about than who wins.
I prefer "AMD wins in an exciting close election that was back and forth in the final hours" but you do you.
Tbf both are correct.
Good to see the number of votes hold up and to see an exciting election.
Aye lowest % because of four candidates!
That probably worked to his advantage. It split the anti-AMD and anti-Spam vote
Or Split the anti-PCP vote without knowing who voted for who and why its all assumptions.
absolutely incredible spin you have got to admire it
It is the most interesting aspect of the election, have you ever read a newspaper. Look who it was that won with a lower %age!
Not “first new president since July 2021?”
As someone who has worked in politics all his working life in various forms that’s not how you judge elections and its not how newspapers do it.
The way to gage elections isn’t the % its the % swing. So there are more candidates in this election but since the last election the swing is TRS -1%, WRP - 43%
I would argue the real story is WRP as a party have collapsed showing Huey had a strong personal vote but the party doesn’t have many loyal voters.
Swing is meaningless in presidential elections. So a headlines like that would certainly be bizarre
I could have gone with split opposition lets AMD. sneak in!
Sneak is biased as well tbf. It inplies I’ve gone underhand and not you know the candidate from the eUKs largest party
Lol but you don’t politicise your headlines. Christ. Really scraped the barrel for that one
Not “first new president since July 2021?”
That was a given, I tend to like the interesting stats more .. and you beat Apples!
That is the silver lining
I could have gone nail biting finish as Pirates get unexpected surge, but I thought this was more interesting I bed you didn't know that stat!
the only context AMD will ever have a chance to beat me is in my sleep
Let's all calm down lads, bad start to the term
I’m perfectly calm tbf. Just find the reporting very bizarre
Not if you are a fan of electoral reform! We should use the alternative vote!
Feels like far too much work for Plato that
True but it would be fairer and electing someone with less than a majority less likely. It would also make it more interesting as candidates vi for transfers
Agree it would require more campaigning and like messages asking for 2nd preferences. More of a problem for modern and classic elections so it’s good we’re back in a phase of the country where that’s even a possibility or hypothetical to discuss.
problem is for local elections when you’re electing a representative first past the post isn’t too bad. Like electing your MP. But the prime minister being formed from that makes no sense. If we had a separate prime minister who’s elected on AV that would be an interesting hybrid
First past the post is terrible for all elections. Where I live we have 3 councillors, always Labour. Scotland and the whole of Ireland use STV in multimember constituencies which is much better. If you have a parliamentary system, rather than a presidential one electing the PM separately is a bad idea, both Italy and Israel tried it and both scrapped it!
I mean I advocate for a separate elected head of state so I guess I build my ideal scenario more towards that. But absolutely STV is the winner
In an ideal world Devs would work on the political module to let us choose a system!
at least autocracy is an option if everything goes tits up
When can I run for mayor of Scotland
So who won?
first 2 words of the headline
AMD. wins
Nice
