1995 Trinidad and Tobago general election
Early general elections were held in Trinidad and Tobago on 6 November 1995,[1] after the ruling People's National Movement had seen its majority reduced to a single seat due to a defection and a lost by-election.[2] The results saw the PNM and the United National Congress both won 17 seats. Although they had received fewer votes, the UNC was able to form a coalition with the two-seat National Alliance for Reconstruction, allowing UNC leader Basdeo Panday to become the country's first Prime Minister of Indian descent.[3] Voter turnout was 63.3%.[2]

gollark: Less if you have a bit of money and rent a GPU computing server. Or just "borrow" Google Colab for free.
gollark: You could also just bruteforce the hash of the name in probably at most an hour with a good GPU assuming my wild assumptions.
gollark: Maybe an order of magnitude or so slower as it is slower to check.
gollark: Krist mining can do a few GH/s on a good GPU, and that's SHA256, so you could bruteforce the entire practical namespace in 100 seconds.
gollark: Especially if you can wrangle a good FPGA into running hashes really fast.
