Loved his well-justified dig at the absolutely disgraceful scaremongering and almost 80s-esque tabloid vote-influencing.

I'm confused with all the confusion about the ballots. Whats so hard about 'Put one X in this section, One X in the next section and use numbers to indicate your preference on the other papaer'. I heared an official explain the system to an elderly couple in a polling station today. It was very clear what you needed to do. Where is the confusion?
