Fits one of the things Brumby reckons isn't Hall of Fame material itbt.
Agree with that. Great driver, but too much extra baggage. Have to wait before Senna, Lauda and Prost are in at the very least (and also people like Fangio, Hunt, Moss etc.) not to mention other motorsporters like Valentino Rossi, Jason Plato, Sebastian Loeb...

Well, that's my opinion anyway...

Can we 'un'-second people?? - i.e. negative voting??

Haha. Can't see why we should. I'm sure most people would love to 'un'-declare most of their country's electoral candidates, but they have to make do with just not voting for them instead. Reckon you should do the same. If they really aren't deserving in the eyes of the CW population, they won't pass through the ballot.

Too bloody right. I'd like to un-vote for Winston Peters, Helen Clark and... well... its a long list. For now, I will just grind my teeth regarding Maradona... Great player, but I'd rather watch Ossie Ardiles myself.

EDIT: I will second Senna now that the Baconisor has nominated him.

Nominate Shane Gould - Swimming
She is the only person, male or female, to hold every world freestyle record from 100 m to 1500 m simultaneously, and the first female swimmer ever to win three Olympic gold medals in world record time.
Awesome call. Had never heard of her. Seconding.
