I hereby announce that the sign ups have closed and that the contest is between Eriatarka1 and Sir William Buttersworth. A ballot will now take place of party MPs. All MPs should PM their vote to TTF, who will then pass on the final result to me tomorrow evening.

As Party Leader I hereby announce that the results of the ballot among ODP MPs are as follows:

Sir William Buttersworth - 26 votes - 33.33%
Eriatarka1 - 52 votes - 66.67%
There were two abstentions.

As Eriatarka1 has recieved a clear majority of votes cast I hereby declare him elected Party Chairman.

Were Eriatarka and Sir William allowed to vote? Because if they were, and assuming they did, this was basically a vote by one person (reading the actual voting figures, not the made up ones)

If it helps, I can say I did vote if I was allowed to, for myself, and abstained if I was not allowed to do so.

I included it all in the PM to TTF.

Do we actually have 5 members?

While in practice this election may not have been as open as it otherwise could have been, that's only to be expected given current party membership levels, which are themselves a result of current simulation membership levels. What's important is that there is now a division of powers within the party, and that a framework and precedent has been set for the future.
