Weird auction. And why can't a lead a major?

Maybe p is slightly more likely to have a void ♣. I voted for a club without any conviction.

I think a club is slightly better here, but I have no idea. It's vaguely possible that I will get a diamond trick anyway if partner is void (AK in declarer's hand).
