26th Jul 2009
Howling Laud had another famous victory at the Norwich North By-Election on 23rd Jul with a 'gross' of votes. 144 voters chose to vote Loony.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/8168032.stm
The count was held unusually the next day on Friday morning, in an agricultural building internally decorated as a marquee. The Flying Brick spent much of the time crawling around on his hands and knees muttering about the low ceilings. While John 'Imwyedon' and Christine pointed out that as Alan had been named 'Laud Howling' on the ballot paper maybe were probably 441 which added to the 40,747 voters who didn't vote equal a massive loony landslide of 41,188.
We have also made it into the Wall Street Journal in 'pictures of the day' - it's the third one down.

The OMRLP with the invaluable assistance of secret Squirrel 
now have a 21 point Plan to win elections. Any election. By carefully observing the behaviour of succesfull "politicians" we have come up with 21 strategies that are used almost daily to blind the electorate into voting for a particular candidate.

05/07/09 Norwich North bye-elecshun 23rd July
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!

A Ten Year Thought by Alan "Howling 'LauD' Hope
Yes its been 10 years since we lost our leader,16th June 1999.
A date I can never forget as it is my birthday.What a shock it was,will the party carry on, shall we let it die with him !
"No,No,No" was the answer, "You are the deputy leader,you are now the leader", so we carried on,and here we are ten years later.
Its been interesting,its been thought consuming, its had its own little heartaches along the way, but all in all good fun as its meant to be.
A lot of good people have helped thankfully,most are still with us. Some have dissappeared up to Loony Heaven along
with our Illustrious One. What a party they must be having, and some we hope may join the fold again one day.
Can it be the same without "Screaming Lord Sutch" of course it cant, but we all try to keep doing the things that we think he would approve of.
Its good to see so many young 'intellectuals' joining and taking an interest, they are our future, they will lead the party one day to a Loonyversal victory over bad and silly things and make us all proud of them.
DONT FORGET,make a date for the Party Conference at the:
Raven Hotel,Hook,Hampshire. Thurs 24th til Sat 26th Sept
Main days being Fri-Sat but stay all week if you want,I do.
Its such a shame that I should be writing this as a memorial to David, dont we all wish he was still here, I certainly do, and so do all
the people whose lives he touched.

Loony beats Labour in St Ives
THINGS just got worse for Gordon Brown in St Ives where the Labour candidates in the county council elections were beaten by a Loony.
Despite failing to win the seat, Lord Toby Jug, Cambridgeshire’s first Official Monster Raving Loony Party Candidate, was celebrating his best ever result in decades of political campaigning by winning 566 votes – well ahead of Labour’s two candidates who finished last.
"It is a Loony landslide. Democratic loonyism has arrived in St Ives," said Lord Toby.
"People in St Ives have voted for the sanest candidate."
St Ives was won by the Conservatives, with the Liberal Democrats in second place.
Lord Toby won 6.23 per cent of the vote, ahead of Labour’s Richard Allen on 362 and Angela Richards on 343.
Mad Mike Young 252 6th from 6
Sheikh Mihand 566 7th from 7
Lord Toby Jug 566 5th from 7
Howling'Lord'Hope stood for his local Fleet council,in fact it was a shadow council chosen by sitting members to form what will become the Town council next June.Then there will be a proper election by real people,watch this space then !
29/05/09 and on the same subject:
Five surgeons from big cities are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on...
The first surgeon, from Bristol , says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second, from Manchester , responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded."
The third surgeon, from Edinburgh , says, "No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon, from Birmingham chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those blokes always understand when you have a few parts left over."
But the fifth surgeon, from London shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong, Politicians are the easiest to operate on"...............................
.................................."There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the arse are interchangeable."
