So for instance, given the current crop of candidates for Council, the
order would be:
Dave Cridland
Jack Moffitt
Remko Tronçon
Kevin Smith
Ralph Meijer
Peter Saint-Andre
Since members have only 5 votes and lots of people mindlessly vote yes
on every item, they would run out of votes by the time they get to me.
Result: I don't have to serve on the Council anymore. Yay! ;-)
