Do any of the odd sounding parties have a chance? Out of the bunch, which would you say has the most public appeal?

Monster raving loony party. The Italians giving 25% of the vote to a party started by a comedian has given them new hope. The Christian party will probably lose their deposits - at least they do up here.

I meant the really odd ones, like Monster Raving Loony William Hill Party, Christian Party "Proclaiming Christ's Lordship",
Elvis Loves Pets Party, Peace Party-----the "fringe", that was the word I was looking for.

[Snowfire]

What happened with the " beer, backy and crumpet party " ?

[AnneBoleyn]

What is it about the Monster Raving Loony that gives Italians hope?

Don't be silly... Most people In Eastleigh wouldn't know where Italy Is let alone know about their election.

Wouldn't It be great If It was a landslide to ' Elvis loves Pets Party'.?
