In view of the proposed law relating to Political parties being able to register in Jersey - with the Attorney General vetting the names - it is instructive to look at the UK with the recent election of David Davis.
Among others standing were:
Grace Astley (Independent)
David Bishop (Church of the Militant Elvis Party)
Ronnie Carroll (Make Politicians History)
Mad Cow-Girl (Official Monster Raving Loony Party)
Gemma Garrett (Miss Great Britain Party)
George Hargreaves (Christian Party)
Hamish Howitt (Freedom 4 Choice)
Shan Oakes (Green Party)
David Pinder (The New Party)
Joanne Robinson (English Democrats)
Christopher Talbot (Socialist Equality Party)
Will Jersey be able to have as much fun?
