...might have been expected, McGovern hasn't always gotten along well with his fellow CCA candidates. One problem is that he threatened to take "number-one" votes away from some of them -- especially from Thomas H. D. Mahoney, who was fighting hard for re-election after only one term on the Council. Even at the beginning of the campaign, Mahoney and McGovern never hit it off personally; by the end, they spoke to each other, but little more...

But remember one important feature of PR: candidates siphon their votes mainly, from relatively restricted areas or groups.
