Please stop using these computer programmes to try and figure out the election.
Your quota calculations are incorrect - this isn't the Scottish methodology, it's not a Droop quota system.
Nor are candidates on the same preferences ranked randomly.

Please read the PR Act.

Ah, but I was too lazy to. Not that this matters, I'm not Mr. Moderate.

Please correct me if I have made any errors, which is likely. The legislation is a tad confusing.

ok, we're now left with 5 people, but none of whom have even reached the quota yet

They're elected anyway.

[Хahar 🤔]

Damn, we're in good shape. Two? I never expected that.

[Хahar 🤔]

Aargh! I need to deliver some more votes for Sensei.

[Хahar 🤔]

Aargh! I need to deliver some more votes for Sensei.

Actually, your best bet is to eliminate Colin early.

Same thing.

[Хahar 🤔]

My vote did...that? The last thing I would've expected.
