The weirdest Parliamentary candidates?
Discussion
There always seem to be a few oddball candidates at every election. I'm in the Sevenoaks constituency, and we have this guy. The Sevenoaks candidate and the 'frightful conspiracy'. He's run in every general election since '97, and has never got more than 300 votes.
This was his 2001 campaign leaflet.

Dear Elector,
Mark Ellis _ _ _ _ FINDER (A FRIGHTFUL FIND)
99.9% of the electorate are unaware of what the EU is. Allow me to shock you with the truth. What I know eclipses all my other finds (The body in a hedge, my Norwegian calendar which failed to come [found in a field], and the hundreds of undervalued importations across Britain which I alone detected).
The EU is a disguised dictatorship with any army and a political police force in the making to suppress opponents and a spoken policy of forbidding poetical parties hostile to the EU. Any semblance of democracy is pretence for political dunces. Thus, to say that the EU is a rising of a seemingly dead body (which vowed it would return) which monarchs and the CHURCH though had been destroyed in the 1300's, would cause disbelief amongst the shallow thinking , ignorant majority who cause control of our land by the treacherous.
In the early 1300's a power was held by monarchs, the CHURCH and the TEMPLARS, the latter being a rising force, which had it not been stopped would have controlled Europe. The EU is Templars in disguise, and there is something very odd about the EU.
FEATURES WHICH LINK THE EU TO TEMPLARS
1. The first EU flag was a cross (a TEMPLAR symbol) but former foes of the Templars (the Turks) protested (please note the oddness of this protest).
2. The second flag is also religious being an incomplete representation of a haloed Virgin Mary (Strasburg Cathedral).
3. The EU's anthem was composed by an Illuminati (a secret society member).
4. "A great swarm of bees will arise, but nobody will know they have come" wrote a 16th century writer. The bee emblem is an Egyptian hieroglyph which means "sweet submission" and was used by Napoleon on his flags and is a Templar symbol.
5. Napoleon went to Egypt and Palestine, almost drowned in the Red Sea when the tide rose, and of him it was said: "How singular it would be, should he become the Emperor of Jerusalem" (The Templars' city wherein their king had lived).
6. The European newspaper's former owner s buried in the Templars' city (falsely named Robert Maxwell).
7. The land of Palestine and Templar islands are oddly in the Eurovision Song Contest.
8. Monarchs and boundaries were disregarded by Templars. They had trans-national provinces. The EU has trans-national provinces.
9. The Templars perpetrated indefensible acts of insolence (an EU characteristic).
10. They prevented customary dues being paid to the crown (the EU uses our taxes for the lavish life of their officials).
11. They involved the King's officers in vexatious lawsuits. The EU uses laws against us.
Mark Ellis Path_ _ _ _ _ Vows:-
The Templars vowed to return, and I made a vow. My vow was to Harold, last of the Saxon Kings (a mystical book by Lord Lytton), to defend England. This book led me to a path which he could have used on his way to Hastings.
In 1995 a bizarre alliance including the Ramblers Association, Sevenoaks Society and Sevenoaks Council tried closure. I battled for a year, beat seemingly overwhelming foes and saved the path.
With your help, Anglo-Saxon England could live also.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Ellis

The 1989 election, Finchley North, and Margaret Thatcher is fighting, amongst others, the original Lord Buckethead.
For those that don't know, Lord Buckethead may have been an alien, and looked a bit like Darth Vader. Except with a black bucket for a mask. At the polling station, Radio 4 tried for an interview:
Interviewer: And what are your policies, Lord Buckethead
LB: Well I want to double the state pension
I: And how are you going to pay for it
LB: Well we'll get a loan from the Inter Galactic Bank, of course.
Also, 2001. At Saatchi's we put up the Ginger Crab (character from a campaign for Jammie Dodgers) in Kensington & Chelsea, up against Michael Portillo. The guy made a fair old go of it, with hustings and everything, but sadly lost (see Michael Portillo is congratulated by the Ginger Crab). He sent a nice thank you letter around the office with the marvellous line "I handed out 250 videos, and received 240 votes. If I can do 19,000 videos next time, I'll win!."

90 year old Robert Leakey standing for the Virtue Currency amd Cognitive Appraisal Party in Skipton & Ripon
bbc said:
Robert Leakey, the 90-year-old Virtue Cognitive Currency Appraisal Party candidate for Skipton and Ripon, also has an ambition agenda for change.
He wants to replace the current system of politics with a system of what he calls "cognitive apprisals", where people away from Parliament would send in motions themselves.
Not only that, but he would like to "get rid of money altogether", and replace it with a barcode-style "virtue currency".
