TORONTO -- The Canadian man who holds a world record for most elections contested and lost is throwing his hat in the raceWith the odds stacked against him, John Turmel is running in the riding of Brantford-Brant, Ont., in the upcoming federal election. The 68-year-old has participated in municipal, provincial and federal elections since 1979.
For a loser, Turmel proudly hangs the Guinness World Records certificate in his home office, along with newspaper clippings about attempts at running for office. “No one is every going to break this record ever in history,” he said. “My name is safe. This is a record for persistence.”
I thought this said John Turner for a second... Would have worked either way ;)
“Turmel runs on a platform of legalizing gambling, drugs, sex and prostitution. He thinks the banking system is broken and wants to abolish interest rates” enough said...
