A Mansfield voter decided to plunge the General election into a parallel universe by voting for Star Wars infiltrator Darth Vader.

It appears the Force was not with Mr Vader on this particular occasion as his dastardly plan to exercise power through the democratic process unravelled.

A spokesman was unable to confirm reports that Mr Vader was considering resigning his position as Supreme Commander of the Empire this morning.
