A party to believe in, a party for the future
Like all good politicians I'm going to break my own promises, particularly not writing about the election again, to bring you one final post while there's still time to vote.
One of the most loved political parties in the UK is the Monster Raving Looney party. Formed in 1982 it is a real political party founded by the larger than life Screaming Lord Sutch (RIP). It's now run by Howling Laud Hope. Despite being around for so long they have never won a seat.
One of their most famous manifesto pledges was to abolish income tax as it was only meant to be a temporary measure during the Nepoleonic wars
Here's a selection of their recent proposals;
- We propose to cancel stamp duty.......stamps are expensive enough so we shouldn't have to pay duty on them.
- Besides leap years, there needs to be hop, skip, and jump years
- Parliament will be relocated to Wormwood Scrubs, reducing the commuting costs for most Peers and MPs
- We will reduce the national debt by selling the castles back to the French. (Buyer dismantles)
- All Food sold in fast food establishments should be clearly marked "May contain traces of real food"
- All vegetables sold in supermarkets, should be clearly marked "Strictly for oral use only"
If you want a light hearted look into the funny side of UK politics then their latest manicfesto can be found here. A candidate named Baron Von Thunderclap would definitely get my vote and I'd have this mob over the clowns in Europe any day
