Well, bugger.

I didn't vote for the idiot. I specifically voted for Ken because he was the only one who had a chance of beating Boris.

I would have voted for Vetinari but there wasn't a tickybox for him. Damnit.

I couldn't find the Vetinari tickybox as well! very disappointing.

I would've liked to see "Action to cut crime: 60% more scorpion pits" on the manifesto.

They were talking about this election on CNN yesterday, which was odd because they don't often bother talking about the politics of other countries unless there is violence involved. (gotta love American newsmedia)

UK ballots have the option of a write-in vote, yes?

I think that's called 'spoiling the paper'. Or something.

Hmm. U.S. ones are required to have a space for one to write in the name of a candidate who happens to not have been able to get a tickybox on the ballot. They're treated just like everyone elses', except write-in candidates virtually never win.

There's also the slight problem that Vetinari is a fictional character, which means he probably can't actually be elected mayor anyway.

I think our Ken had more than a little in common with Havelock, and London was the better for it :)

I like the icon :)

Thank you, a FOAF made it for a friend and was happy for others to use it :)

I didn't have the option of voting for this, but at least we get Boris out of Oxfordshire now:) *grins evilly*
Although, I've always thought of Boris as kinda cute.
