Can you not see that cannot be said to be true. The use of "ergo" is entirely erroneous and inappropriate......one does not follow the other as a matter of course. In point of fact, I responded above to the poster's observation that Jay had "a lot more supporters" on FB and Twitter.

And there is no suggestion of conspiracy. There is no need for a conspiracy. The link between supporter numbers and votes cast is quite weak. Indeed, the advent of FB voting is bound to reinforce this trend in that you could not simply vote once (as with phone voting alone) as there was a minimum purchase.

I also need not get over anything as I couldn't care which of them had received the most votes!
