We had a party in the UK called The Monster Raving Looney Party, lead by Screaming Lord Sutch. He often managed to retain his deposit (5% of the vote at the time).

He was seen as a showman, standing purely for shits and giggles.
Voting for him was no different than spoiling your ballot paper.
And he never said anything as near as crazy as O'Donnell.

Did they really have no alternative?
Honestly, I am pretty anti-Conservative. But I'd rather vote for David "double my salary via expenses" Lidington than someone like her. Are there no independents?
