Josiah! You said you would not pester me to vote. I have no intention of doing so. I don't like that you have to submit two sets of votes. I think it's stupid. Your opinion is your opinion. One set of votes that reflect what you think is adequate. But they have to be different? It doesn't make sense.

[Josiah.]

I'm sorry Kate. Now I feel bad (like the worst I've felt when doing this). Voting closed.

If you choose one or more countries then yes it does make sense. Like I voted how I felt they’d vote. Eg. USA voting their neighbour etc.

I found that post a little rude to Josiah who has been doing this for years and think you came off a bit too strong

[Barry.]

Just seen your other thread Kate, think that bad energy there made you lash out at Josiah

[Josiah.]

Voting Results at 5PM!

[Josiah.]

And I present to you, the winner!
