If in doubt about a political question, always consult the collected works of Monty Python. There is no higher authority. What, for example, is the future of the Conservative Party?
The key text in this case is the classic 1970 “Election Night Special” sketch, in which the Silly Party puts forward candidates such as Jethro Q Walrustitty and Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F’tang-F’tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel. They are opposed by the Slightly Silly Party, and its prospective MPs such as Kevin Phillips-Bong.
