It comes down to heads or tails

If you were one of two individuals running during a political poll, how would you feel if the final decision concerning who would win was decided with a good ‘ol coin toss?

Two candidates in the Philippines who got the same number of votes in a local election have settled the issue of who won by tossing a coin.

Bryan Byrd Bellang and Benjamin Ngeteg tied for the last of eight council seats in Bontoc, a resort town some 280km (175 miles) north of Manila.

They agreed to the coin toss, set down in local election rules. Mr Bellang called heads and won the seat.

Personally, I would have insisted on a much more predictable game of rock, paper, scissors. But that’s just me. What would you have preferred?
