He was sunk without trace and good riddance to him.
There was no rigging, intentional or otherwise: in fact if anything he had the advantage of his name actually being in large letters on the ballot paper.
I’m sure he’d have got more votes had there not been a Brexit and a UKIP party standing also, but I think it’s a heartening confirmation that whatever motivates people to vote for populist outfits like the Brexit Party, it’s a long way from the nasty streak of bigotry with which Yaxley Lennon and his ilk, many now also beached in what is left of UKIP, are shot through.

Tommy Robinson didn't stand a chance anyway, since he wasn't allowed to campaign via the media, also this was his write-up on the leading candidates.
/// Stephen Yaxley-Lennon campaigns under the name Tommy Robinson. He founded the EDL in his hometown of Luton and has worked as an advisor to UKIP.
Tommy Robinson has been convicted of crimes including assault, mortgage fraud and contempt of court. His legal fees have been paid by conservative US think tank Middle East Forum.
He has been paid to write articles for the Canadian website Rebel Media, where he is described as ‘an avid speaker on the problems… with the rise of Extremism, Islam, ISIS, hate speakers and Sharia.’ ///
