I could vote with the block voting majority, or I could (as I have done so far) attempt to put forward alternative, more controversial, candidates. Either way, my actions have little effect on the outcome.

And so each day proceeds with a tedious inevitability towards the predictably tedious final outcome.

In such circumstances, the incentive for me to vote reduces each day to the point where I ask myself: "What is the point?" That point I have now reached.

This show has no controversy whatsoever. Hence, the ratings are tumbling. As one of the initial backers, I think it best that I simply cut my losses.

Of course, if there is any hint of an upset, I reserve the right to return ...
