I know this because a few months ago, we had one of those
'election'
things, where people got to say who they supported, and more
people
supported him than anyone else. See:

It would be interesting if they added a couple of exta boxes to the
ballot paper

a) "don't care"

b) "none of the above"

Then we would really know what the people think - which is why my
proposal will never be adopted.
