He paid every voter 10 pounds, costing him roughly 10,000 pounds.

Mitten was inevitably elected for his generosity, but his term was cut short by himself.

He sat in on one 30 minute meeting in the House of Commons and decided it wasn't for him.

He never came back.

bare-name Nell, and occasionally hunted wild-game wearing nothing but his birthday suit.
