A compromise has apparently been reached between the American and British delegations, the former insisting on color-coded ballots in the next straw poll and the latter wanting to hold off.
The decision? Hold two straw polls.
The first straw poll will be held Thursday at 4:00pm and will not differentiate between permanent and elected members. Next Monday, another straw poll will be held using color-coded ballots to do just that. (The time of Monday’s poll has yet to be announced by the incoming Japanese presidency.)
Ah, those crafty diplomats. How do they do it?
