If her supporters are to stupid as to be able to follow a simple how to vote card...................
Well that just says it all.

There wasn't a lot of advertising done, only her supporters who went to her website would have seen that, and those who went on saw that. A lot of people don't have, or use very little of, the internet, or maybe didn't know about her webpage anyway. Also, people may have become flustered when voting, because of the size of the white paper.

I understand some you people don’t like Pauline, for personal reasons, and some of you don’t like her political policies and that’s fine, but why is so hard for you not to give credit where credit is due, and admit she achieved a fantastic victory in getting over 100,000 votes with a complete media ‘black-out”. She even out polled every single candidate under the line.

By the way, it actually doesn't surprise me that Pauline voters wouldn't understand how to vote anyway.

"Derrrrr if I put just 1 Under the Line than it's all fine....derrrr...right?"

More like "How do you spell 1?"

Well she didn't actually achieve a victory, now did she?

Exactly, at every polling booth there was how to vote pamphlets for all the major parties; Pauline didn’t have that luxury, by managed to get over 100,000 votes with media black-out.

Exactly. People said that she had no chance, and would get hardly any votes. Considering the lack of attention, it's a great achievement. Btw, did you receive my PM?

Because she still wants the parliamentary pension, perhaps?

I'll send her my maracas as a consolation prize; the same ones I used to celebrate her loss!

No. She was visibly upset about this. You're just throwing around unsubstantiated, baseless accusations.

Who said she had no chance? Was this another dark conspiracy in the neverending "Perils of Pauline"?
