Loony Leader to visit Rochdale as part of his fight to win the forthcoming By-Election

Alan ‘Howling Laud’ Hope, Leader of the Monster Raving Loony Party

Alan ‘Howling Laud’ Hope has announced that he is to stand as a candidate in the Manchester Central by-election to be held in the city on Thursday (15 November) and plans to visit Rochdale on Wednesday (7 November).

The Official Monster Raving Loony Party is a welcome and colourful addition to the British political scene and aims to inject a sense of fun back into politics.

As well as probing the soft-underbelly of Manchester’s social and political scene, ‘The Laud’ will use the occasion of his visit to examine pubs and clubs in the area and raise the prolific Loony awareness. He has always maintained that: “There is nothing wrong with sensible Loonyism.”

He will also use his visit to launch the Rochdale Branch of the Party on Wednesday 7 November and will visit the town where he will be welcomed by his supporters.

As ‘The Laud’ will arrive in the city on Guy Fawkes night, he will be seeking reassurances from the City Council that the cellars of the Town Hall have been thoroughly checked for barrels of gunpowder in order to ensure the safety of all candidates and electoral staff.

Alan says: “Good people of Manchester, its your chance to take this Political Farce of ours ‘One Step Beyond’.

“The best vote we have ever achieved was in Rotherham some time ago, more than 1,000. I’m sure Manchester can beat that, and be the first constituency to return enough votes to make a difference.”

The ‘Howling Laud’ says that the main push of his manifesto is to do the things that the other party’s promise to do when they don’t do it. “Yes, good people of Manchester, we are on your side, just like you, we have seen it all before and heard it all before, and still don’t believe it!”
