Scotland (Reporter Rabbit McSporran)Beaurocrats from Holyrood are still scratching their heads this evening, the high numbers of spoiled papers that had to be discarded from last nights bonkers ballot leaving them amazed.
“We’re amazed” said Angus McCheeseburger, ruefully scratching his head, “We just can’t work out what went wrong.. Some of them just ate their crayons..”
Before the election ballot papers were extensively tested, and not just on humans. Multiple, democracy savvy species were given the voting forms, with some vermin voters prodded in trials even lacking opposable thumbs but scientists reported they made a “reasonable fist” out of them. Rabbits reassuringly scored well with 99.97% successful completion rates.
The exhaustive testing finally showed acceptable understanding of the voting form bottomed out at a level somewhere between cabbage and PE instructor.
A quick straw poll on Sauchiehall Street about the situation was inconclusive: “I don’t understand what all the fuss is about”, said rabbit Kylie Localsh, age 9 months.
“What was the question?”, Jim Teacher, age 32
McCheeseburger continued; “We’ll think how it can be made simpler – but in future we might just let the candidates fill in the ballot forms, like they do in Birmingham.”
Footnote: Campaigning for positions on Bunny Councils nationwide has been thrown into chaos after the deputy leader of the single issue “Re-film Watership Down Alliance” boxed the ears of an egg-throwing protester during a rally at a Stockport burrow. Police reports are expected after they have finished cooking an omelette.
