The Otago Regional Council is switching from from first past the post, to STV (single transferable vote) for this year’s council elections. This aligns with the DCC system which has been working well for years.

Prof Janine Hayward has some good advice.

"After first past the post (FPP), there was a tendency among some people to rank every single candidate on the ballot sheet, but really that’s unnecessary."

⬆️ Yep. That was me, ranking climate deniers at number 40-something then being required to rank every other candidate in between.

"Put simply, if you don’t like the candidate, don’t rank them."

Amen.

Oh Sees - Orc

I see, you see, we all see, to watch Jeff pee!

As the prophet Alan Partridge once said about Oh Sees on a fateful stormy night, held up in a castle, surrounded by packs of rabid & hungry wolves, with only 1 match left & daylight was still 4hour away, “they’re only the band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard wish they could be!”
But who was he speaking to?
