Elections have happened for much longer than 12 years, that doesn't prevent people from discussing them.

But do you really not think people who normally wouldn't have bothered voting for him went ahead and did it when it was down to just those two, the same way people who don't like Conor campaigned for Shiv, even though they didn't really like her, either?

I get the feeling if the final 2 had of been an outsider v an insider then a sudden rush of votes might have gone to save an outsider due to their popularity but seeing as it was insider v insider i think any rush of votes could well have been quite even.
But who knows really.
The windows for extra votes were pretty tiny compared to the 4 days that voting had been open beforehand though.
