I think this is very interesting and I just had to share this as a guardian reader. Also, does anyone know who are the voters for NPP and how is it decided?
Re: Snowden Wins Guardian readers' Nobel peace prize poll
Guardian reader Norbert Schuff explained the reasoning behind his vote:
Snowden is the only one on this list who deserves the peace price. His revelations of the broad government surveillance of digital communications not only had the most global impact but will also shape actions for freedom of expression and right of privacy for years to come.
Readers’ hopes were dashed when the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the prestigious and often controversial prize to Malala and Satyarthi for “their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education”.
The committee prides itself on its independence, but, headed by Norway’s former prime minister Thorbjørn Jagland and chosen by Norway’s parliament, its members are keenly aware of the political ramifications of their decisions.
“Giving it to Snowden would run against all political instincts. He is, after all, considered a traitor to one of Norway’s closest allies,” Kristian Harpviken, director at the Peace Research Institute in Oslo, told the Christian Science Monitor.

Re: Snowden Wins Guardian readers’ Nobel peace prize poll
She was the second choice…with 36% votes. But yeah, it was a fair deal. Guardian readers voted for the right person(Snowden).
