    No, not good.

    Anyone who votes for her is a fucking moron who is wilfully ignoring the reality of how FPTP voting works.

    But they should still have that right. It’s undemocratic to say otherwise. Saying they shouldn’t be allowed to run just because you don’t like the effect that voting for them might have is the mark of autocracy.

      Couldn’t agree more. They used the form provided to them. Withholding ballot access based on a technicality smacks of disenfranchisement.

        Apparently “democracy should be open” is a controversial take.

        Or maybe my comment got downvoted for saying that those voting for her are morons?
