Danny, I just went to the site using the link you provided. It was very easy - just type in the security letters, click on the photo of Magnus and click on the word vote. I hope lots more people will vote for him and Mary's Meals. There can be few things better then feeding children and thereby helping them to get an education. Education is the route our of poverty, and towards a better life.............and all for the price of a meal. You're feeding minds as well as bodies. As you can tell, it is a pet "thing" of mine! Vote, friends, vote. The opportunity to vote lasts until 18th November. It won't even take long.........so please, VOTE NOW! |

Voted. BTW, the fact that you can appear top vote several times for the same candidate does not necessarily mean that your vote will be counted more than once. I would hope not; what Irish pranksters did with the BBC Most Popular Song Ever online vote may be okay for a laugh*, but there is serious money involved here as well as real prestige so one would hope this is more securely organised. (* To make a total farce of the competition, they encouraged Irish people to vote for "A Nation Once Again", a traditional rebel song which isn't even particularly popular in Ireland and got it to top of the list; a bit about it here.) |

The site actually said "vote agian" after your first vote had gone through. So I did Gerry |

It invites you to vote for another candidate, that seems to be CNN's rough and ready version of Proportional Representation
