British politics is no stranger to eccentric characters, and Thursday’s election was no exception.
A man known only as Lord Buckethead, dressed in a costume capped with a large bucket, ran against Theresa May in Maidenhead with fellow costume wearers Howling ‘Laud’ Hope and Bobby ‘Elmo’ Smith. Buckethead appeared on stage as results were announced and celebrated his 294-vote tally.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron too faced an unconventional rival. He edged Conservative and Labour opponents as well as one Mr. Fishfinger for the seat of Westmorland and Lonsdale.
