Liz, isn't that how Prime Minister Howard got it last time, on preferences. Coming from Canada, I find the whole preference voting thing really confusing. My DH ran in the local elections once and so saw things in a different prespective, thankfully he didn't get in. I couldn't believe how the man who got in as mayor could have so few votes in his own name and get elected. In a rather "funny peculiar" manner, his name was seventh on the list of contenders for mayor and there were just over 450 votes where voters put BULL.... on the list, the I was counted by the electoral office as a number 1 not at a letter, giving him just enough votes to win, what a hoot.
