That in no way contradicts my statement that "No Award" is a counter-slate candidate. In fact, it reinforces it. The more people, and the more diverse people, and the louder the calls for No Award, the more effective a slate it is. A successful political party will be large and diverse.
You're also in agreement with me on the second matter. I said I don't think you can ban slates; you say it's "pretty much impossible" to ban slates. That's an agreement. You can prevent them doing again exactly what they did this year, but they can modify their tactics. You can put hurdles in their way, but they can go around those hurdles. Attempts to allow them but reduce their power are, as I noted further above, intimidatingly - and consequently inadvisably - complex.
