For part of a previous job I had to meet a bunch of people from GCHQ regularly.

I used to love that every time I drove through Bedford, the sign said "welcome to Bedford midpoint of the Oxford Cambridge arc"
Such a nonentity that even the council couldn't be fucked to say something about it.
In theory. It's just standard contract law. You violate the contract, so you have to make the other party right.
In practice, the court is likely to go, "You should've hired someone else to do the work. No costs"
They recommend that you do vote, and don't vote for anyone except Harris.

This is super serious voting strategy you guys.
