Happy Mondays' Bez reveals plans to stand for parliament
Can't possibly be worse then Hazel Blears!
http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/mar/14/bez-happy-mondays-stand-parliament-salford
Happy Mondays star Bez has reportedly announced plans to stand for parliament at next year's general election.
The wacky dancer said he hopes to become MP in his home town of Salford, and plans to run on a platform of redistributing wealth, tackling cancer and dementia, and an end to all war.
Bez, whose real name is Mark Berry, said: "If you're voting for me, you're voting as a protest about what's happening in the world at the moment."
He pledged to end the current banking system, redistribute wealth, and promote a more sustainable environment.
