there is no point in not cutting them... they didn't get votes , so they are not likely to get votes in the second round either...
Absolutely disagree. The point is that in small countries, you end up cutting managers who may be only one vote away from winning, and there are all kinds of good reasons why someone may not have voted before the first cut. This policy may even effectively end the election in some cases, where only one candidate gets a vote before the cut.
If the reasoning is to keep the list manageable in the case where there are large numbers of candidates in a small country, I can accept that.
