VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN

We Get The Government We Deserve
Is it More Of The Same or
A New Dawn

Don't forget to vote strategically today and maximise the possibility of making it count. The PR system gives you the opportunity, that if your First Preference Candidate is eliminated early your No 2 then moves up and becomes your No 1 i.e. First Preference. This method continues if/until all your Preferences are used up. Hopefully one of these Preferences kicks in. This is the advantage of Proportional Representation. It is certainly fairer the the British and gives a better representation of the county's views. Make Your Vote count.

Also DO NOT FORGET: If you decide to only vote for one Candidate "PLACE 1 AGAINST HIS/HER NAME AND NOT AN X". The pity is that the latter happens all too often.
