Sir, - I wonder why no one is making the case within the US for the transferable preference vote? I would have voted no. 1 Nader, knowing he wouldn't make it, but wishing to register the strength of the green lobby. When he was eliminated, my no. 2 vote would then have gone to Gore. We do this all the time. Should it not be an international norm? A civil right? - Yours, etc.,
Roy Johnston, Rathmines, Dublin 6.
