As I was listening to Radio 4 reporting the results of the General Election earlier today; that the Conservatives, unexpectedly, have a majority government, and that Labour have lost many seats, I was reminded that Charles Ryder, our electioneering rabbit, was particularly interested in the voting process.
I looked back at the results of his pre-election nibbling of campaign leaflets, available here: voting update, and was amazed to see that he was predicting this outcome all along- almost no nibbling of the Conservative leaflet and a total shredding of Labour!
I'm thinking of hiring Charles out for future elections; Paul the octopus has nothing on him!
P.S. Charles' powers clearly only work at the national level since in Cambridge the Lib Dem MP, Julian Huppert, (slightly chewed) lost to the Labour candidate (total shredding).
