OK I was following you for a bit but you first said they can stand if they are taking the election seriously and they said they don't have to take the election seriously.

Yes, you sometimes have 2 groups of people standing in U.K. Elections, the group of people taking the election seriously and another group of people not taking the election seriously. I was referring to 2 groups of people those taking the election seriously and those not. We are so use to the oddball candidates at election time in the U.K. that most people here probably regard it as normal.

The "normal" thing to do when you wish to take part in an election but don't wish to represent any particular party but wish to take the election seriously is stand as an independent. Obviously not many people are going to take you seriously if you state that you belong to the "Nut Case Party" but you may still find that a few people will still vote for you when the ballot papers are counted.
