After the result was declared in yesterday's East Douglas by-election, celebrity chef Kevin Woodford said he wasn't surprised to finish third.
The by-election, won by Chris Robertshaw with Liberal Vannin candidate Kate Beecroft second, was overshadowed by the controversy of proxy vote applications and the role of secret trusts.
