Politics

The municipal council consists of sixty-eight members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-four councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-four wards, while the remaining thirty-four are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 3 August 2016 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of fifty seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election.[3][4]

TIMING ATTACKS, *and* you can check whether there's an image or not at some arbitrary URL because while CORS weirdness won't let your code read the *content* of an image you include with `<img>` unless the site it's from opts in, you can check the width/height and whether it loaded or not.
    gollark: But there is more!
    gollark: SameSite or whatever.
    gollark: Well, you can set some flags on the cookies, which is something.
    gollark: That's a problem because some TRIANGLE made it so that you could send POST/GET requests cross-origin *and cookies and stuff are sent with them by default*.
