dear andrew,

just for clarity: are you implying these elections are "badly-publicised,
badly-attended, badly-arranged"?

well, i myself do not like advertisements in general; don't you agree your
proposals will also lead to more aggressive campaigning in the future, and
candidates filling village pumps and talk pages everywhere with posters,
"ads everywhere" so to say?
now imho that would be a *real* "beauty-contest" if we've ever had one...

best regards,
oscar
