Stop Press:

We,the Loony Party contested nine seats in the District and Local Council elections on May 3rd 2012—Nine seats but 16 candidates,how does that work,read on all will be revealed !
Here are the results,
CRAZY CRAB———————-Addlestone,Surrey——–99
OMAR MEHBAN————Boston Castle,Rotherham——-64
HOWLING ‘LAUD’ HOPE————Hart District,Hants—————–39
CARL MOORECROFT——————Swindon————————-194
LORD LOUCHE LANCASTER——-Burntisland,Fife,Scotland————-67
MISS POLLY TITIAN——–Knighton,Mid Wales——————-49
LORD TOBY JUG———-St Ives,East—————————-118
LORD TOBY JUG——-Huntingdon District———————354
(Seven Candidates 8 seats so far

Now comes the real Loony bit,9 candidates stood in the same seat,at the same election on the same day !
All stood in Molesey East,Hampton Court area,they were as follows :-

CHINNERS———21 BONE——-13 PEE GEE TIPS—–5
SMF MUSIC LAB——5 CRAZY DAVE—–4 MONKEY the DRUMMER—–3
SCUNNY——3 LARGE———-2 BADGER——–1
All in all a total of 57

As you can see Toby stood twice,District and Town,in the St.Ives-South ward-Town Council- he polled 354 votes,in the St.Ives-East ward – Huntingdon District- he polled 118,which was sadly not enough votes to win his sponsorship bet for a donation to the local hospital. He gave it a good go though, hard luck Juggy, you did well !
Another mention in dispatches to Carl Moorecroft,a great result first time in,well done !
Also Omar Mehban and Lord Louche,new members,but were raring to go from the start,
Maybe ‘The Louche’ has opened new pastures green for us up in Scotland, lets hope so.
All three of these,have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and cant wait until the next time.
Crazy Crab and Polly Titian are past masters, they have stood before,so knew what they were up to,and knew how to get ‘not too many’ votes as did the Howling ‘Laud’.
If, as always, its a case of who comes last is the overall winner,I suppose ‘Badger’ is in with a shout with 1 vote,but in fairness the constituency polled 57 votes,with the help of Chinners and the crew.Well done to you all,I know you all had fun and enjoyed every minute of it.
So if you work out ‘he who comes last wins’,with a bit of Political Spin Doctoring and Skullduggery on the constituencies alone,it must be that man who polled just 39 votes.
You must admit its a typical politicians way of making things read how you want them to read !
Anyways a jolly good show from you all,give yourselves a round of applause,or is it a round at the bar,a round at the bar,that reminds me.
Party Conference Sept 27-29, The White Hart,Uttoxeter, all the info you need is already on the web page. Get booked in as soon as possible, party members have first option.
Dont leave it too late and then cant get in,  like some have done, in times gone by.
See you all there,around at the bar ! ! ! ! !
HOWLING ‘Laud’ HOPE
Party Leader.
