    "Second preference"? Is that a form of ranked choice voting for the London mayor?

    London has had more terror attacks in the last 10 years than Jerusalem has. Europe as a whole now deals with Islamic terrorism while Israel gets sympathy for being surrounded by hostile Muslims. Lol, this is insane. The goal is push Arabs into Europe, alleviating the strain on Israel. Transferring the problem from the middle east to Europe. Don't believe me? Just watch.

    I've outlined this, before....

    When you vote (here, in Oz as well as in Old Limey) you place a number next to your desired candidate. #1 to who you want. You also number your second/third/fourth...etc...choices. If your #1 pick doesn't get over the line...your #2 gets your vote and so on down the line. You CAN leave just a #1...and be done with it. An "x" is a tossed ballot.

    We just made history in Oz. The two mainstay parties (Labor and The Liberal National Coalition) both fell short of victory. It took all the #2 votes from the gaggle of minor conservative parties to get The Liberals over the line. Now, The Nats MUST listen too the same voices of conservatism...or else.

    Again..."Liberals" are the conservatives in Oz. Like everything...it's bassackwards to Up Ova.

    London mayors should be called Ron or Smiler and not like someone from the East Side of the Suez Canal.

    Poor old Moonie was born on the reasonable side of London and doesn't want someone that sounds like a fare collector on a bus to be an ill-qualified or token mayor.

    And from Barliman Butterbur in Book VII of the Lord of the Rings:

    'Well, this has been the nicest chat I've had in a month of Mondays. And I'll not deny that I'll sleep easier tonight and with a lighter heart. You've given me a powerful lot to think over, but I'll put it off until tomorrow.


    Please think quicker Barliman, although your brews are fine.

    The reason all these Arabs and North Africans are flooding into Europe is nothing to do with Israel. The Barcelona Agreement of 1995, between the Eu and the North African Countries, which was kept secret for 10 years, promised EU citizenship to 50 million North Africans and respect for Islam, in exchange for control over resources. Only when they stopped keepign it secret in 2005 did the arabs and africans start flooding over the Mediterranean, safe in the knowledge they were invited and they wouldnt be stopped or deported. Which they havent been.

    The British Empire was turned into The Commonwealth, which has more members now than the British Empire did. They were queueing up to join.
