We are pleased to announce that Our leader Alan “Howlin Laud” Hope will be standing as a candidate at the Norwich bye-elecshun on 23rd July
His election campaign manager, straight from his resounding success in Cambridgeshire will be Lord Toby Jug and his agent the indomitable Nick the Brick.
The bye elecshun has been brought about by the resignation of Ian Gibson M.P in the wake of the M.P’s expenses scandal.
People ask why does the omrlp webmaster spell by-election..bye-elecshun. The answer is simple bye bye the incumbent Government and the voters shun the elections though I cant think why!
