Correct. However we all agreed to using polls as it is easier to oversee and work out the winner. There is also no possibility of human error during calculations. Furthermore this method is a more representative way of measuring votes as otherwise a vote for a member in a poll where two other members are runaway leaders, for instance, is a wasted one. The only thing that is needless is your insistence on arguing the toss, or are you so desperate to make a late bid for this award with a blockbuster showing?
