Alan Lafferty




10,354 votes cast and this man could only manage to have 986 people vote for him as first preference.


It took until the tenth round before he was elected. (There are only 11 rounds - where those with the lowest votes get eliminated on each round)

The quota of votes for a candidate to be elected in this ward is 2,041

At round ten when some others had been eliminated, the transfer votes moved to other candidates this man's final total was 1,948.

The quota of votes for a candidate to be elected in this ward is 2,041

He was elected despite not reaching the quota point of 2,041 as every one else had been eliminated.

We would have to suggest that this is hardly a resounding endorsement for the big man who is a walking advert for Wrigley chewing gum.


Elected by default?
