Possibly although 2008 was after 9 years of Clarke Cullen. Given the government parties are polling so high (I get they the polls are over inflated at the moment) it’s going to take a huge swing away from them.
Yes that would be a simple solution, surely there’s an element of goodwill in there.
I have been caught out by that rule a couple of times myself.
A year is much more reasonable as plenty of people only go to one or two meetings a year.
I seem to remember last year the syndicate was up heading into the last race and then put a bit of a silly bet on to try and either double or triple the money (I can’t remember which).
The bet ended up losing and everybody ended up with there initial investment back.
Pretty sure they bet with the TAB for there punters club. I also believe everyone in the club gets a bonus bet in there account once the winnings are paid out.
