Oh, and the results quoted are for the European elections in 2009 not the local council elections (in which UKIP did much less well), which is a classic Lib Dem ploy as we all know, obviously UKIP don't want to miss a trick. I'm assuming charitably (and someone who knows more about European constituency boundaries can chip in please) that the Canterbury City Council Area of the South Eastern England Region is coterminous with the Canterbury constituency. STV using Meek counting really does avoid this nonsense of "only A can beat B", but maybe that would take the fun out if. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
