i agree with you completely.
but playing the devil's advocate, i think that the reason why it didnt turn into this public outcry was that this action takes advantage of some loophole in the law.
i.e. its legal in some way although it doesnt adress the "spirit" of the law in much the same way that the loyalists in the past have taken advantage of the written word of the constitution while not respecting the spirit and intention of the constitution.
anyway, IF this is the case, a big deal should still have been made about how such a loophole exists and how the spirit of the law has not been followed.
enough noise may have been enough of a deterrance, or in the least work would have started 2 years ago on the prevention of anyone taking advantage of this in future elections 2013 and onward.
