Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel was a candidate for the british parliment as a member of the Raving Loony Society of Cambridge, as well as the president of said party. He finished with 227 votes, ahead of four other candidates. His assumed mane was based upon a character in the popular sketch show, Monty Python's Flying Circus.
This is an example of how the Brits will repeatedly mock the democratic process and laugh in its face, ignoring the gift they've been given. It is still however believed to this day that had Mr. Biscutbarrel (as the media refered to him) the proper publicity he would have had a fighting chance at membership, in the event that pigs should sprout wings and fly.
He was not the first to put a ridiculous name on a ticket. Another man, running for mayor in the united stated had his name legally changed to "None of the above" in an effort to give voters more choice in the election. Unfortunately, he never made it on to the ticket.
