In a bizarre turn of events, it has emerged that Queen guitarist Brian May could run as an MP in the 2015 general election.
According to reports from The Mirror, agent Phil symes has said the Queen guitarist is thinking of standing in "frustration at a system that he sees as failing the electorate". He could be running under the banner of his Common Decency project, which aims "to re-establish common decency in our lives, work and Parliament".
May's potential reasons for standing are clear. As written on May's website, the Common Decency project would aim to "get rid of the current government" and politicians who aren't "representing our interests".
"I believe there are good people currently in Parliament, of all political colours, MPs that deserve to be returned in the next election," he wrote on his website. "But there [are] also many people in there dedicated to hanging on to old unfairnesses, powered by selfishness and vested interests, and this element is what needs to be thrown out with the dirty washing.
"We need an assembly of altruistic, morally decent, non-career-minded individuals who will not be influenced by personal gain or the colour of their tie as they approach the ballot box."
The bookies have given May (25/1) odds at becoming an MP, in comparison to (33/1) for Al Murray who is running under the pub landlord character.
Meanwhile Bez's campaign to become MP for Salford has been set back after he forgot to register a name for his party two days after launching the campaign.
