Dinging Duns Again?
One of the periodic 'Issue' polls in the Berwickshire invited votes on the Jim Clark Rally as follows:
Would you like to see the Duns stage of the Jim Clark Rally repeated next year?
Yes [50%]
No [50%]
Don't Know [0%]
Perhaps only two people have voted so far: Kevin McPro and Sandra McCon. No can't be that as I have just clicked my vote and the result has not changed.
Rigged Ballot?
Anyhow I suggest that the test of opinion is confined to the citizens of Duns. Some envious Greenlawer might well like to have stuck up Duns incommoded for a second time.
Anyhow good people and true; rally round and make your vote count.
Cringing apologies: the Poll is obviously kosher and three hours after I cast my vote the result now is ;
Yes [33.3%]
No [66.7%]
Don't Know [0%]
So at least one more person has voted no.
Go on Anon of Ayton, do it again.

I'm sure the Guardian's Ben Goldacre would question our use of statistics here, but my vote is against the rally returning. Has anyone worked out the carbon footprint of this schlockfest?

If Eke voted against, Huttonian voted against and I am against how many votes is that?

Not enough apparently. Suggest we follow the old Norn Iron Unionist advice to their supporters many of whom had several votes under the now abolised gerrymandering system

If all the votes I can see on the board are against the rally returning, then who said yes and are there laws against doing them in? This democracy thing is all very well for former East Germans but we should be ahead of the game here. I vote against.
