More for fun than anything. Just some points. The key is participation. If there were more participation there would be less problems. Everyone should vote. That eliminates occasional strange results. When the winner gets four or five votes anything can happen. There aren't fluke wins when the winner receives a dozen votes. No offence intended by any of this.
