Election Losers

Congratulations to Godfrey Spickernell for getting 17 votes for the Blue Environment Party in Chelsea & Fulham — as far as I can see, the lowest total in the country.

I was a little disappointed nobody matched the heroic efforts of Catherine Taylor-Dawson, of the Vote For Yourself Rainbow Dream Ticket Party, who managed to get just one vote in Cardiff North in 2005, apparently a record low for any candidate in a general election since universal suffrage. And she wasn’t even registered there!
