Without googling, iirc The Screaming Mad Monster Party had a candidate or two elected over the years, possibly Screaming Lord Such himself. It is incredibly uncommon (to the best of my knowledge), but it happens.

EDIT. After a quick check it turns out The Screaming... didn't have any successful MPs, although I'd swear they had at least one in the 90s. Oh well, must be misremembering.

Have any of these prank candidates ever won an election in the UK? It would send a strong message if they did.

He's running against Farage, right?

Yes, he is running against the man I've recently been calling Count c**tface (and there is a word in there that I don't like using), as Farage engages in a bit of a political stunt to try and distract for him and his shady business dealings. The main parties are refusing to engage and Count Binface is his major opponent since the big parties are not fielding candidates.

I own a CD of the St. Matthew Passion. For some reason I never listened to the St. John Passion before--probably the only major Bach work I'd never heard all the way through. It's just as good as St. Matthew.
