The final contestants were a group of three males dancing to rap music. No one danced during the contestants' performances nor between them, and there was not much explicit audience reaction to the competition. Following the rap and ragga competition was a dance competition that consisted of five individual or group contestants. In fact the vast majority took advantage of this and were dual constituency and list contestants. Because authoritarian and democratic polities differ in inclusiveness, authoritarian and democratic contestants should differ in their speech. In all competitions the anonymity of the contestants had to be maintained to ensure that a scheme rather than the architect was selected. Nevertheless, the norm has been to protect sitting members, as the "net" success rate for contestants is only 4.3 percent. The change from having no public funding to having some public funding for new parties increases the expected count of new contestants by about 50 per cent. Following the example of previous cross-national studies of new parties, the dependent variable for the emergence of new parties is measured by the count of new contestants in each election. Though the flyers advertised an allmale competition followed by an all-female one, the latter did not occur, most likely due to a lack of willing contestants. The study has also been able to complement the existing research on new parties by formulating a theoretical argument for the fluctuation in support of new contestants. The political reaction that these judgements represent are likely to be an ever-present consideration in elections where the contestants for office have accepted some responsibility for managing the economy. A local architectural competition based on the anonymity of its contestants and judged by a panel of experts stipulates certain parameters that impact on the design process. Power, place, advantage are at stake as the contestants gloat at one moment in a point scored and protest in the next they are being unfairly treated.
