7 It's a criterium that only really makes sense with a field of candidates
8 that is more than 2*(# of council spots) along with my additional
9 interpretation that people far below the 7th person are not desired on
10 the council. We additionally know that other people chose not to
11 nominate themselves because they thought that enough good potential
12 members were running. In the general case, you're right.

14 If the election officials had done as Ciaran and I suggested more than
15 once, this wouldn't be a problem. That was to include a "nobody"
16 candidate. Anyone ranked below that would not be eligible for a council
17 position. So I again strongly advise that this be done in the future.
