    My local council election results are in. The independent-but-member–of-the-Liberal-party candidate won, with a narrow member over the independent-but-maybe-corrupt candidate. Hopefully this means I can stop looking at the candidate’s names and getting “Mr Brightside” stuck in my head (as the other candidate’s name is Emily Brightside) 🤣

      They’re still counting in my electorate. In my ward nobody got more than 50% of the vote so they’re still divvying up the preferences.

        Mine got to about 43% & 46% with first preferences, so just had to count enough of the third candidates preferences to get over the 50% line.
