I am not really sure where the 'commercially sensitive' argument the BBC uses really comes in. I suspect what they really mean is that the higher ups involved with the show will somehow lose face if the figures are revealed.
I don't know about a 'right', but it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect to be told the results of a vote. Perhaps JS would like to take the lead with this argument, as I seem to recall he equated SCD voting to a General Election.”

I'm sure we haven't been told the number of votes in the final by Bruce since CIN was ditched. I have a feeling the number of votes has gone down since that coupled with the effect of the DO. You did feel more justified putting in multiple votes because you could say it was for charidee. Also, then you could vote all week. Sadly that 'fun' element has gone.
