  My local council election results are in. The independent-but-member–of-the-Liberal-party candidate won, with a narrow member over the independent-but-maybe-corrupt candidate. Hopefully this means I can stop looking at the candidate’s names and getting “Mr Brightside” stuck in my head (as the other candidate’s name is Emily Brightside) 🤣

    They’re still counting in my electorate. In my ward nobody got more than 50% of the vote so they’re still divvying up the preferences.

      Mine got to about 43% & 46% with first preferences, so just had to count enough of the third candidates preferences to get over the 50% line.

      Oh, yes I think I saw something about that (at least I hope it was about the same person, otherwise there’s more of them).

      I just had a candidate involved in controversy over a not-for-profit gym, which has been having problems with Council who have assessed them as actually making a profit. I have no idea whether the gym is being unfairly treated or there is something dodgy going on with it, but I got a bit sus when I saw the gym (which she is on the board of) was paying for her Facebook ads. Then I got a letter from someone doing a mail-out highlighting that she has been involved in the controversy, and that there are three people who are involved standing for Council in a presumed effort to overturn the Council decision about the gym. I don’t really want someone who is going into the job purely for their own private agenda, so I’m pretty happy she did not win.

    That’d be worrying.

    You expect to fill the bath, and come back to the tub being full of pasta.
