This is the first year in which a Machine Nation Politician of the Year will be selected.

Vote here for the best politician of the year - the poll will run for 14 days from today.

One vote per person only. The shortlist consists of all politicians receiving more than one nomination.

A separate thread and poll is running for Worst Politician of the Year.

With just 3 votes cast I think I can guess who voted for whom.

They should all get at least two each, based on the nominations.

Ahern is ahead. Always good with vote management that chap...

WIth 25%Bertie is pulling away with it now.

Bertie and Dickie neck 'n neck - who'd a thunk it!

It an open field, and a lot of runners....

That's it so, Bertie has won. Anything that happens from here on in is manipulation by sinister forces.

As a steward, I'm looking out for over use of the Whip.

How would there be anything bent going in this place - it's as straight as a line of sweet peas.

Is Mr. Sargent represented at all or anyone from Macra na Feirme ?

Between this and your earlier "in favour of a lot of pain" reference, is there something you're trying to tell us?

Bah, tonys is just planting the seeds of doubt.
Now, what will I do with my remaining votes ...

Sinister Bruton has made a move. Apparently he has been checking out Bertie's political moving and shaking from his back window [of his big house] for years. If he can ascend to the head of his party as Bertie did then the seal of office backons.

Damn the politics, my vote goes to the lady in black.

No Willie but I have voted anyway for another. I hope this is a secret ballot and no funny stuff

I made a mistake in my voting. I didn't see Joe HIggins name on the list and so voted Joan Burton as the best the list of possible contenders. Can I switch my vote to Joe pleeeeze? Sorry to be a nuisance

I set the poll on an "enable vote cancellation" setting, but I'm not quite sure what that means - have you tried editing the post?

Cancel it quick and that's that.

I noticed Bertie's votes went up when you arrived

Myself & three of my incarnations voted for Richard the Brut by mistake, can someone change them to Bertie the bold, please.
Thank you ever so much & sorry for the trouble.
