Reb quite rightly points out that the Heartbeat website doesn’t have much information about how they worked out the rankings. Didn't bother me at first, as I figure I know a bunch of hte people involved and I trust them, their ideas are pretty much in line with mine. Not that I'm following their instructions to the letter... the site is just one factor influencing my decision. But yeah, now Reb draws it to my attention... They do treat people as a bit… well, I was going to say dumb, but lazy is probably the word. And a lot of us are. Like me. What I want to know is, where’s the website that tells me who I want on my DHB??

if they say the system is not working and actually work in the system i think they might be good?
There is a bit of guff about each candidate in the booklet that comes with the voting papers.
Also up here (probably the same stuff)
