  Official Monster Raving Loony Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Raving Loony" tag only came when Sutch returned to politics in the 1980s, after leaving the USA thoroughly disillusioned with what he saw as an increasingly violent United States (including being shot at during a mugging attempt).
Monty Python and The Goodies also popularised the word "loony" in the sense that Sutch was using in the name of the OMRLP, but it is equally possible that Sutch inspired the two comedy shows by managing to stand against Harold Wilson in 1966 and in the City of London election in 1970.
The first Raving Loony to win as a result of a straight vote (as opposed to being elected unopposed) was Stuart Hughes, taking the "safe" Conservative seat of Sidmouth Wolbrook on East Devon District Council in May 1991.

Cunningham was at the time the Scottish National Party MP for Perth and a columnist for the Scottish Sunday Mail (which, confusingly, is in fact the Sunday edition of Scotland's Daily Record newspaper).
The party suffered from a number of individuals that claimed to be members—usually for their nefarious reasons—down the years.
Both the UCP and the NBP were far-right parties, one of many failed attempts between 1976 to 1982 to create "respectable" versions of the National Front.

The first was John Dougrez-Lewis, who stood at the Crosby (Merseyside) by-election of 1981 (which was won by the Social Democratic Party's co-founder Shirley Williams).
He stood at the by-election as (deep breath) Tarquin Fin Tin Lin Bin Sim F'tang F'tang Ole Bus-Stop Biscuit Barrel III on the behalf of the Cambridge University Raving Loony Society (an anti-political party and charity fundraising group) - despite a legal challenge to stop him from standing by a far-right candidate from Middlesex Polytechnic.
Cunningham was left trapped inside whilst the OMRLP (and one defecting Scottish Liberal Democrat...) conducted the crowd in choral renditions of "Spot the Loonies" and "Let's All Laugh At Labour" - the latter having spent a fortune on trying to win the seat for Peter Mandelson's henchman Douglas Alexander.
