Are nowhere near as mad as they used to be. Policies are just rubbish.

Last time I would have voted for the one to shoot all MPs over the Channel in a circus cannon, laning in a large net on the french coast (but now without the net)

Someone did a study once and reckoned that a fair number of the MRLP manifesto policies had (in some way, strange coincidence or actual forethought) come to fruition in main stream politics over the nearly 30 years of Screaming Lord Sutch. Anybody seen anything about this?

IIRC the reduction of the voting age from 21 to 18 was one of the primary policies Lord David Sutch proposed in the mid 60's

They've not been the same since Screaming Lord Sutch died. They provided me with of my favourite political images, Maggie being voted in while "Mr. Buckethead" (bloke with a bucket over his head) stood on stage being afforded the same level of respect as a legitimate candidate.
