So THIS is how they resolve a tied election

[Chopper West]

A former mayor of St Albans lost his council seat after an election tie was settled by getting the candidates to pick the longest penis.

St Albans Tory councillor Keith Stammers lost out to Lib Dem Judith Shardlow after their votes were tied at 1131 each after three recounts.

The election saw the Lib Dems take back power at St Albans after losing it to no overall control in 1999.

The two candidates were given photographs of two men from the waist up, and asked to guess who was the best hung.

Fortunately none of them was John 'two inches' Prescott.

Lib Dem David Poor, who won the Sopwell seat from Labour, welcomed the result.

or as in Crawley,where Lab/Con each got the same votes in one ward... the returning officer produced two envelopes, each with a bit of paper... take your pick...

and now they have a Conservative council !

Sorry I should have read this more carefully... I think it's meant to be a joke.

Clearly not enough lead in his pencil.

It happens more often than you might think. Carlisle council was won on the draw of papers from a ballot box TWICE in the late 1990s.
