Veritas candidate gets zero votes. (Via.) Update: As Nick said in the comments, it was a mistake and has been rectified. Looked funny while it lasted though. I believe that there was one candidate who got only one vote though!

Make Votes Count forum
Where now for voting reform campaign? Check out the discussion forum. Nina Temple: First-past-the-post has reduced the general election to a travesty of democracy.
