What is that buzzing noise?
Bees reach consensus by headbutting dissentersAs with neurons, the swarm’s collective decision is made when a particular threshold is reached. But, unlike neurons, the bees have a very physical means of inhibiting those with a competing message: they headbutt them.

Going from +11 to -9 is quite a change
Not only that but there is something not quite right about a round number, exactly 20 votes found lying around somewhere all with Bennett's name on them? or exactly 20 votes discounted for Sepuloni . Fishy eh?
If you are going to steal an election you should, at least, use random numbers. Damn sloppy if you ask me.
And another thing. What's all this with blinglish saying you can't fix poverty by throwing money at it? like duh. Poverty IS having no money. Nasty looking bugger too. -

Hard News: Word of the Year 2011 -- The Vote!, in reply to Robyn Gallagher,
It moved beyond jokey slang and became an essential word to describe a state that had suddenly appeared, in need of an adjective.
Dare I say it became middle class?
Now, we can't have that here... can we?.
