The agreement covered the entire election process.

That was my emphasis more than anything. Werner, if you have a burning
desire to vote for less than the two representatives that the region
needs to actually select, and only want to vote for one and let the
others choose the second one without your vote, I'm happy to configure
the voting system to allow people to not select from the entire field.

Look, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot say "I want to vote for
only one or two" and then say "If I do what I want, the vote will be
illegal".

Is this a productive discussion, to go around in circles? I can't say
that I see the value in it.
