# It makes perfect sense,
Thank you Ginger Fuhrer. Are this vote for a change something to do with Mark Thomas? Or is it run and funded by Richard Pryor in Brewster's Millions?

# that's a very good question
animation won't work for print so it's not going to win top prize

HOWEVER, if you want to enter for fun / to get a runner's up prize then be my guest

# I've just been to the VfaC website.
They say "... there should be a binding referendum on whether to change to a new more proportional electoral system"


Hmmm. But I bet they'll treat the referendum as an all-or-nothing thing. They won't go for 57% proportional, will they?

They've not thought this through.
