Monster Raving Loony Party candidates on floating bicycles on the River Thames in front of the House of Parliament in May 2010
Monster Raving Loony Party candidates on floating bicycles on the Thames in front of the House of Parliament. The Monster Raving Loony Party’s tagline – “Vote for insanity: you know it makes sense”. The OMRLP party was founded in June 1962 by David Sutch, head of Scream Lord Sutch and the Savage, and stood in British parliamentary elections under various party names, mainly as the National Teenage Party candidate. At the time the minimum voting age was 21. In 1963, while he was a rock ‘n’ roll musician in a band called the Savages, he ran as a candidate for his National Teenage Party in the Stratford-upon-Avon by-election.
