Best ballot paper

[ewx]

Best ballot paper, as described by one of Cambridge's independent candidates:

Counting took a long time partly because the spoilt ballot papers of each ward were examined painstakingly ward by ward - I did get the best paper though - entries of unhappy faces in each box except mine which had a smiley face, universally judged to be the best paper :o)

Yes. I'm surprised that it was considered spoilt, to be honest. Worthy of especial thinking, perhaps, but no worse than that.

Given Graham says he "did get" it I'm not sure it was considered spoilt in the end (and from his description I'd personally think it should have been considered clear).

Ah, good, thanks for pointing that out. (-:
