The big day is here
Since I moved house recently I have not found anywhere to put up my dart board, so I have no means of working out who to vote for. A friend has told me that he dislikes all the candidates that he knows so intensely that he is only going to vote for candidates that he has never heard of. This sounds like a very sensible plan.

Ineligible candidates
The whole thing is a storm in a teacup. Nobody is suggesting that any of these candidates would be ineligible on election day, or on the day they took up their seats if they should win. This is what the constitutional provision is trying to prevent, and it has succeeded. The actual argument is about minutiae.
