Seven Weird Moments from the 2015 General Election

The election trail took party leaders to all four corners of the country. Along the way, some very strange things happened...

1. Student drops trousers at sight of Nick Clegg
On the campaign trail in the West Midlands, Nick Clegg almost got to the bottom of things.

2. Polling Stations
Yes, that is someone's living room in Pica in Cumbria.

3. Miliband's trip
 
On the plus side, he fared quite well in front of the Question Time audience.

4. Paddy Ashdown eats his own hat
During an interview on May 7th, Liberal Democrat, Paddy Ashdown said he would eat his hat if the exit poll was accurate. Unfortunately for him, it was. The following evening, he was presented with an edible hat during Question Time.

5. Farage on BBC bias

When all else fails, turn on the audience.

6. Is Ed Miliband tough enough?
Hell yes he's tough enough.

7. Murray's reaction
Al Murray's reaction to Nigel Farage losing out on the South Thanet seat was priceless. Murray actually ran in the election - but only got 318 votes.

Hello!

Who is the sexiest Member of Parliament?

SexyMP.co.uk has went about answering the question that literally nobody is asking: who is the sexiest MP? The simple website presents visitors with two pictures of random MPs and they need to pick the one they find sexier. At the bottom of the page is the leader board so visitors can review where their member of parliament ranks. The website, apart from being "the first ever parliamentary beauty contest", is also a quirky way of getting the British public to know their MPs. More attention has been drawn to the website this week as it was revealed by The Telegraph that it was it is the most popular banned website in Parliament with staff trying to access the website 484,683 times. Sadly for them, most of the attempts were blocked by internet filters. The Urban Dictionary came in second with over 155,000 hits. (At the time of writing, the Prime Minister David Cameron was ranked #209 and, the ex-leader of the opposition, Ed Miliband was ranked #231.)
