I have decided not to continue participating in the competition. I have not lived in England since November 1970, having been signed up to the Wanstead and Woodford Conservative Association by Winston Churchill in 1963. Prior to 2015 I only voted once in the UK in Cirencester & Tewkesbury in 1970 for the Liberal as the Labour candidate did not live in the seat. In 2015 I worked on Caroline Lucas's first re-election campaign in Brighton-Pavillion and have been an overseas voter ever since. From 2005 to 2014 I served as the Area D Director in the Regional District Central Kootenay of south east British Columbia, having previously taught political science from September 1989 to April 2005.

Actually my prediction is that in Tendring, some of the candidates will get tiny percentages (perhaps less than 1%j and some will get substantial (perhaps more than 30%) but I just don’t know which. Presumably the voters are equally puzzled about who is likely to have a chance of winning, but their ignorance will be quickly cleared up when they start getting leaflets.

The Tendring contest is black belt level prediction competitioning. There is scope for some of us to get more faults than quite a few of the candidates get votes.
We could have a prediction comp for whether the winner will get more or less than 25%? Or 20%?

We could have a prediction comp for whether the winner will get more or less than 25%? Or 20%? My initial prediction had a winning share somewhere around 17.5%, but then I decided that was probably a wee bit low... that would surely be some kind of record... |

My initial prediction had a winning share somewhere around 17.5%, but then I decided that was probably a wee bit low... that would surely be some kind of record... I think it will be a fairly ordinary result, with 3 or 4 candidates getting substantial proportions of the votes, and about 4 or 5 candidates getting tiny percentages. We have little to go on from a list or a SOPN in which each candidate is represented equally, but the candidates themselves are probably known fairly widely among enough people to be able to predominate in getting the votes (or being invisible in not). I reckon it would be much easier to predict the result if we could predict the percentages , but without specifying which percentage goes to which candidate, e.g. 39 25 13 8 6 4 3 1.3 0.5 0.2 |
