Interestingly in our new Coalition Government some form of Electoral Reform for the current First-past-the-post system in the UK seems quite likely. I have to say I think your third point resonates particularly strongly with me! Jason. Hi Paul,

Thanks for dropping by!

Interestingly in our new Coalition Government some form of Electoral Reform for the current First-past-the-post system in the UK seems quite likely.

I have to say I think your third point resonates particularly strongly with me!

Jason.

In Australia voting is compulsory. The provision to that is that one must be registered to vote. On exercising your voting rights there are a few more truths. 1. If you vote informally because you don't like the choices, then you have effectively given your vote to the winning party as you did not exercise your disapproval of that party by voting for an opponent. 2. If you do not register to vote you have done the exact same thing as voting informally. 3. If you do a donkey vote because you don't like the parties then you are just an Ass. Given preferential voting systems your vote could go any where, but most likely in the bin, in which case you have probably voted for a party you really don't like.

I shall have to investigate the PHP in some more detail! :) Aah, i’m not too bothered about some of that, but taking away the parent/child popups in the toolbar might be handy, IF there aren’t any sub pages to display.

The only one I can't crack is the toolbar clock. And… changed most of the timings from US format to 24hr format. The only one I can’t crack is the toolbar clock.

The only customisation I made was to select the water droplets rather than the grass, the rest is with Plugins etc. Hmm, that might be interesting Brennig, if you don’t mind.
