Probably looking for a new boyfriend since gay marriage campaigner Tim Wilson (my boyfriend) told me to stay away from him until after the campaign. Obviously, I am not marriage material.

The 1st and 2nd Preference column adds up to more then 100%. Imagine him as Lord Mayor, The budgets would not add up. Who introduced the direct election system anyway? What a joke.

What was the estimated error rating? I would not read much into this poll. It clearly has no statistical merit. For example the 2nd preference and aggregated 1st and 2nd preference data does not take into consideration the fold up of the election and is in effect double counting votes.
