Dear readers, this is ok, in fact it's better than ok it is a good way to play the system...
I can't help but agree that this is a really clever bit of banter from a good friend who used to work in City Hall:
... the PINK paper votes for the Mayor. Now whatever your leanings in the Ken vs. Boris debate, listen up. You have a 1st and 2nd choice. If your 1st choice doesn't get at least 50% of the votes, or isn't in the top two, your 2nd choice counts AS A FULL VOTE. What this means is, if so inclined, you can have your Ken vs. Boris battle purely in the 2nd column (as it will, obviously, come down to a head-to-head between the two of them in the end). This frees up your 1st column to help get some more lovely Greens onto the Assembly (determined by a very complex set of mathematical rules - don't ask, I've looked them up) as well as give a moral boost (as there's not a snowball's chance in the Gulf she's getting anywhere near the top two) to the Green lass - Sian Berry.
She has excellent policies - look 'em up at http://www.sianformayor.org.uk/ .
