Conservatives win mock election

In a closely fought contest that mirrored the real election, Oliver Metcalfe of the Conservative Party was elected as Member of Parliament for Nottingham High School, after winning 99 votes out of a possible 536 (18.5% of the total votes cast). 

Joel Lamy of the Monster Raving Loony Party was runner-up with 97 votes, whilst poor Tom Heath of the New Social Democrats lost his deposit, having only secured 16 votes (27 being the minimum required to retain a deposit). His deposit will be donated to House charities!

The final results were as follows:

Oliver Metcalfe (Conservatives)                            99 votes

Joel Lamy (Monster Raving Loony Party)               97 votes

Hari Prabu (Independent)                                       63 votes
