A macsot for the local football (rugby) team was elected mayor in the town of Hartelpool, UK. His pre-election platform was "free bananas for schoolchildren". The full story is here.
Score one for the fursuiters!

Reminds me of the small mining town of Guffey, Colorado, with a population of about 30, which chose a cat as its mayor. He has since been replaced by another cat, and subsequently by a dog named Shanda.
Politics... I always said it was "Monkey Business" and "going to the dogs," and now... we have proof!
Next election, Vote Furry*!
