I congratulate the three other candidates, and yet I'm quite pleased that I was able to get 5% of the vote with a detailed, forward-thinking mandate that could upset many vested interests (and it really was not my best writing, also). I could've had a less-is-more approach but after receiving 31% in the last election, I felt a solid mandate was the least I should offer.

At this election, the Electoral Commission (ECSA) added "I do not live in the area" and its sort of (mis)leading. I would always tell people that I'm 2km away and they still engaged me. Also, a mile away is "in the area" linguistically. I didn't expect voters would vote on it but I'm told it looked bad. ECSA also stopped publishing candidates' website links at this election. Lastly, ECSA use both Microsoft and Google servers to provide content and on 8 Nov a supporter who used the website told me they never received their ballot papers ?. I expect the electoral system to continue degrading and thus see no reason to run in future.
