from the Monster Raving Loony Party Site:

"Nick The Flying Brick Shadow Minister for the Abolition of Gravity is our candidate for the Oldham by-election."

ABEd: I read that as "the abolition of gravy....". Now that would be shocking. Whatever would become of our Sunday Roast?

With regard to joke candidates, the result can sometimes be unexpectedly surprising. Ten years ago, in the mayoral elections in Hartlepool, a joke candidate stood under the name of H'Angus the monkey, in allusion to the myth that a monkey from a French ship was hanged there as a spy during the Napoleonic Wars. He won, and was re-elected on two subsequent occasions, albeit under his own name.

I wouldn't ever joke about the abolition of gravy.

Here is the MRLP stance on "Edukayshun"

"Ban the teaching of foreign languages. Instead, invest in other countries learning of English."

Cracking idea that.

"It is proposed the party adopts the Paint It Purple Policy(PIPP) In order to solve the problem of depressed areas,unemployment and youth disaffection, Every third building in the country should be painted purple. There'll be lots of jobs created either making purple paint, or doing the painting, these jobs can be done by young people, who'll be too busy washing purple paint off themselves to get into trouble."
