The MP for north Essex was beaten into fifth place despite controlling his spin and avoiding stalling in his race to the winning post. The alternative election was organised by BBC's Top Gear programme on Sunday night when representatives from six political parties took to the race track with the fastest lap winning the election. Tory Mr Jenkin posted a track time of one minute, 41.8 seconds to finish fifth. The only candidate slower was the Monster Raving Loony Party, which fluffed its lap time. John Ault of the Liberal Democrats posted the fastest time with 1.33.9, followed by the Legalise Cannabis Alliance (1.36.5) Labour (1.38.8), Green (1.41), Conservative (1.41.8) and finally Raving Loony (2.13). Top Gear had rigged up a Tannoy system on the car, an MG ZR 1.8 litre, to provide suitable music for the candidates. Mr Jenkin was greeted by Jerusalem. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
