What the ballot paper penis may have looked like (Picture: Metro)

A voter thought he’d stick two angry fingers up to the system by drawing a veiny member on his General Election ballot paper.

He plonked the penis next to Conservative candidate Glyn Davies.

But the joke was on his when – thanks to his neatly drawn trouser snake – the vote counted.

The Tory MP dominated his Montgomeryshire constituency in Wales with a 45 per cent backing.

According to The Scotsman, the 71-year-old wrote on his Facebook page: ‘One voter decided to draw a detailed representation of a penis instead of a cross in my box on one ballot paper.

‘Amazingly, because it was neatly drawn within the confines of the box the returning officer deemed it a valid vote. I’m not sure the artist meant it to count, but I am grateful. If I knew who it was, I would like to thank him (or her) personally.’
