The results on the Silly Party elections:

Dave B:

In the 1981 Crosby by-election, candidate John Desmond Dougrez-Lewis, a 22-year-old student from Hayes in Greater London, changed his name by deed poll to Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel. He received 223 votes and finished in fifth out of nine candidates, although the Returning Officer simply referred to him as "Tarquin Barrel". He later participated the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, which has some conceptual similarities with the Silly Party mentioned in the sketch.

@fred: it's so bad, it's good.
Yeah, Meghan's right about TV advertising these days. It's all about scare campaigns. This is kind of catchy even if the lyricists couldn't think of much else to say except "Nixon Now".

A woman applying for a job in a California lemon grove seemed to be over-qualified for the job. The foreman glowered at her. "Have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?"
