A Brief History of Joke Candidates in the UK

<p>There was a By-Election this month, but rather give the major candidate air time he was so obviously desperate for, we at the Podcast decided to do something a little different.</p><p>Join us this month as we look at the history of joke candidates in this country, from the madness of the Monster Raving Looney Party to the new global sensation in Count Binface.</p><p>If you wish to contribute to our cause, we have a crowdfunding page to help the Network expand. Donate only if you can and whatever you can, every little really helps. ⁠https://chuffed.org/project/ng7b7xwqwlze⁠</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bylines Network has also relaunched the Bylines shop, where you can get anything from hoodies to mugs, and featuring all merch from all 10 of our publications. ⁠https://bylines-network.teemill.com/⁠
