Quota 12,468
This is what I thought would have happened.
On the 12th count, 1,707 papers were transferred to McSharry.
For count 15, these should have been put into sub-parcels - say:
Scanlon: 1,024 (60%)
Reynolds: 170(10%)
McLoughlin: 85(5%)
Non-transferrable: 428(25%)
So the surplus of 759 should have gone:
Scanlon: 455 (60%)
Reynolds: 76(10%)
McLoughlin: 38(5%)
Non-transferrable: 189(25%)
It seems wrong to me, but as it wouldn't have made any difference, they probably didn't bother worrying about it.
Under my system, Scanlon would have got 455 instead of 637, or 182 fewer
Reynolds would have got 25 fewer (101 -76)
So Scanon got relatively 157 more.
Take that away, and he still beat Reynolds by over 200.
