London-born comedianLee Hurst seriously considered standing as a candidate in the election. His comedy club had been under threat of redevelopment, and this had re-ignited a spark of political ambition. His manifesto would probably have included policies such as scrapping bus lanes and the congestion charge, improving public transport (including the re-introduction of bus conductors andAEC Routemaster buses), and tackling crime and abandoned cars.[2]
As the ballot papers are counted electronically, totals for all second preferences are available, even though most did not contribute to the final result.
