The Daily Mail reports today that in a by election for a seat on Nottingham City Council the Liberal Democrats were beaten into fifth place. Labour came first, the Conservatives came second, UKIP were third and fourth was David Bishop from Bus-Pass Elvis Party. It was no consolation to the Liberal Democrats that they lost to the Bus-Pass Elvis Party by only 11 votes.
Part of the Elvis Party manifesto was for a 30 per cent discount in brothels for pensioners.
The Bus-Pass Elvis Party is also known as Elvis Loves Pets, Church of the Militant Elvis and Elvis and the Yeti Himalayan Preservation Party.
It was founded in 2001 by Mr Bishop to ‘overthrow the Corporate Capitalist State which turned Elvis, a man of immense talent, into a fat media joke’.
Mr Bishop has previously stood against disgraced Tory MP Neil Hamilton, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and UKIP’s Robert Kilroy Silk. The retired painter and decorator stood in the Eastleigh parliamentary by-election last year, triggered by the resignation of Liberal Democrat Cabinet Minister Chris Huhne. In Eastleigh Mr Bishop came 11th, behind the Beer, Baccy and Crumpet party and the Monster Raving Loony party.
