    Loadsa "independents" on the Ballot Discussion (split from PP by-election)

    If someone wanted to screw with the write-in balloting, they (either the candidate/party or one with anarchist tendencies - 'not' poll workers) could distribute pre-inked stamps with the (selected) candidates named already prepped.
