shapinglightStill on the subject of the European elections, but on a lighter note - of course elections always bring out their share of -shall we say, eccentrics?
The most amusing IMO was The Roman Party. Ave!, the creation of Jean-Louis Pascual, of French Basque origin, now working as a bus driver in Reading. Apparently, he's been standing under that party banner in every election since 2006, and his platform consists of When in Rome, Do As the Romans Do (ie. integrate with the locals), and that's about it. I suppose his transport policy could possibly be, All Roads Lead to Rome?
Anyway, he polled over 5000 votes in the Euro elections, so it seems at least some people in the UK have hung on to their sense of humour.
That Wikipedia entry is slated for deletion, by the way, so look quickly if you're going to look at all.
