Vote for cake!

India holds general elections next month, so the paper is preparing a graphic to show party support. It's not that interesting a topic to research, but I did come across a random fact for your delectation - in India, political parties must be represented by a symbol (I guess the equivalent of the party logos over here).

Not that fascinating maybe - the recognised parties have fairly standard bicycles, elephants and leaves - but check out the list of symbols that are still unclaimed (at the bottom of the PDF). Anyone fancy voting for a political party that uses an electric pole to represent itself, or a ceiling fan? How about a sewing machine? Can't see many voters turning out for the walking stick party (what does that say about your approach to politics?), or the battery torch one. I would definitely vote for the cake party though!
