Like Ritchie, I'm totally underwhelmed by the Accountancy Age personality of the year contest.  Heck, Ritchie probably deserves to be in it next year; sadly there are no write-in votes so you'll have to wait another twelve months for that delicious eventuality.

But there's something you can do that will royally irritate the great man.  Vote for the candidate he quite clearly likes the least.

That candidate is Andrew Andronikou, a man of whom Ritchie asked only six months ago "why is this man still allowed to practice" (sic).  And you can do so free of any fear that you might spoil the ballot, because Valukas must surely ace this one.

Vote here.

Note: as far as I can see, there's nothing in the rules that say you can only vote once, although you must give your e-mail address so they may filter it that way.  I suppose that means if you have more than one e-mail address you can vote more than once. I don't condone ballot-rigging.
