# Vote for a change compo
Right - this has been a bit of a mess. You made some GREAT images but Vote For A Change haven't judged them.

I've given them a number of deadlines that they've sailed through. Today I give up - the final deadline is 3pm.

Either they judge it by 3pm or I judge it myself.

The weird thing is - this isn't about money. They've sent me the cash to pay for the prizes. So that's all there - just a mysterious silence about judging the damn thing.

EDIT: Yep. Just to be clear. Someone WILL be winning a £900 laptop at 3pm. Please vote.
www.b3ta.com/challenge/mockthepoliticians/popular/

EDIT2: Moaning about it online has produced a result. Had a call from them a full winner list will be in our inbox by 1.30 he promises. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.

EDIT3: WE HAVE WINNERS! Update soon.

My little stand over a condescending attitude to the general public that is rife amongst the political cognoscenti.

# I don't even live in the country or care for whoever's in government (beyond their foreign policy)
BUT.

Fucking hell, if the people that are trying to organise a bit of change give up halfway through then you lot have no hope. The only option is to start rioting.

At least the french government has a healthy level of fear when they consider their constituents.

# You are right to call this fiasco to a close

But one big problem.
The winner is supposed to have his/her image printed on 400,000 postcards.
VFAC could choose a different image than the one you choose for their postcards. If they do, the creator of that image could demand the prize.

(I helped save b3ta! beaubodor blogless, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 12:26, archived)
# they could
but I suspect no printing is going to be done.
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 12:29, archived)
# You are probably right.
They're probably using their printing budget for their 'really clever' Zombie protest and drinks after at Tiger Tiger.

# it's politics, the fact they merely ask opinions is irrelavent to them already having decided upon theirs
much like european voting and Eire, keep having a vote until it's got the correct answer (in the meantime your country has a sudden agricultural disease outbreak.. tinfoil much? fuck no).

which was the response after holland and france said no originally "We must get them to vote the right way" (to paraphrase, but said at press conference)

bollocks to them all :D

big dangly throbbing bollocks.
