UK election: Theresa May ran in 13-way contest against Lord Buckethead & Elmo

Democracy is the best system of governance.

The UK election is not ending in a great way for Theresa May.

A hung parliament has been confirmed, which will add more anxiety to what will be very uncertain Brexit negotiations ahead.

May had called for an election hoping for her party to win a bigger majority.

Her party's inability to secure more parliamentary seats was slightly outshone by her personal victory.

May comfortably won her constituency of Maidenhead with 64.8 percent of the vote, despite the seat being contested 13-ways.

In comparison, other election contests were between four to six people.

And these were her opponents, which included independent candidates Lord Buckethead and Elmo:

Lord Buckethead's manifesto calls for the abolition of the Lords (except himself), a referendum to be held on whether we should have another referendum, and the legalisation of hunting fox-hunters.

Lord Buckethead is officially Twitter's favourite person at the moment.
