Kent Life pig race bid to predict election winner

A Kent farming museum is using pig racing to try and predict who will win the general election.

The Museum of Kent Life at Sandling, near Maidstone, will be racing three piglets - named Gordon, David and Nick.

The British Saddlebacks will compete every day until polling day on 6 May to determine an overall winner.

Staff hope the piglets will be more accurate than the traditional swing-o-meter method of determining the election result.

Museum director John Jordan said: "As we get close to the general election we will determine whether we have been more accurate than Jeremy Vine and his swing-o-meter."
