They’re still recuperating from the tremendous task of having to phone thousands of voters telling them who to give the 1, 2 and 3, interchanging A, B, C and D until they were so dizzy they sometimes forgot to tell them that F and O should be given the 11 and the 12. A great feat to say the least. GonziPN has never been so smart.

What counts is the number of votes for that particular party and even at that ,one has to consider some cross-party voting.

But assuming there was no cross voting, our system in any case allows for excess (over the quota) votes to cascade on to the next (#2 preference) and so on and so forth.

Strategy has very little if at all, to do with the number of contestants.

Quick – tell Lou Bondi – he might just learn something, even though I suspect it’s beyond him.

At the moment RAI 3 is broadcasting a programme for children titled “Il Gran Concerto”. Its aim is to make children appreciate classical music. Just watch and enjoy.
