AN embarrassed candidate who got no votes at the UK’s local elections is demanding a recount — because he knows he should have at least one.
Paul Dennis, who stood for the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition in Rainham North, Kent, insisted the result was wrong because he had “definitely” voted for himself.
Mr Dennis, a train conductor, said his wife and father had pledged their support too, The Mirror reported.
