01/05/08 Local Elecshuns
Local elections are now looming in many areas, and true to form we are contesting the odd seat.
We start with our candidate Jon Smith aka Imwy Eddon. Shadow Minister forfor extending the 6o/c curfew on Teddy Bears Picnics, who is standing in the Belper Town Council by-election for the North Ward.
This by-election has been caused by the resignation of Hassan Dervish (Lib Dem), who was the only non-Tory on the council. It'll be a four-way battle between the usual three suspects and Jon. Nick the Brick will be giving support and advise and will be there on the night.
Chinners: http://votewise.co.uk/index.php?pg=show&c=579&eid=43UBGH-0
Also present will be the Molesey Stocks . . .
WELFARE - To curb the rising Anti social behaviour, we propose to resurrect the old pastime of the Stocks. These will be set up in all local parks and will have a wheelie bin full of ripened tomatoes, supplied by local farmers and allotment owners. Duration in the stock will depend upon the crime committed, for example graffiti vandalism will be 5 hours. Stocks were used in medieval times to curb the anti social behaver's of the time. We proposed to invoke the Act of 1405, which is still on statute books today, whereby a Village will be downgraded to a mere hamlet, should there not be any public stocks. East Molesey residents have nothing to fear however as we already have a set of stocks, to be unveiled at our Victory party on May 1st 2008 in the Prince of Wales.
The Practice Polling Booth . . .
ELECTORAL REFORM - As the party that got the voting age reduced from 21 to 18, we fully support the campaign allowing 16 & 17 year olds to enter the political voting system. At present they can decide to leave school, join the armed forces, and claim benefits but currently, they have no say in the running of the country, which after all will hopefully have longer future effects on them than the rest of us. www.votesat16.org.uk We will prepare 16 & 17 year olds for the experience of voting by taking our ‘Practice Polling Booth’ to the streets of Molesey. This will also give people who don’t usually vote the chance to do so, as well as seasonal voters who just want to . ..er . . . practice.
and of course there will be the odd spacehopper floating about . . .
TRANSPORT - All cars will be converted to run on Venos to help stop congestion and Bus passes will be valid to use the riverboat to Kingston & Richmond from Walton & Hampton Court. As there is not a regular bus route that goes between Walton, Esher and Molesey, we propose to build a Water log flume (to be called the Elmbridge Triangle) and Spacehopper & Pram lanes will be created in all shopping centres.

10/03/08 More proposals:
Smooth Ride
Far too many speed bumps are creeping into our residential streets.
It is proposed to remove them all and replace them with eliptical, egg shaped wheels on every car. This would be like taking the bumps with you. Buses would be exempt.
From Lee
Sweet Clarity
'all mixed sweets (e.g Smarties, Skittles, Fruit Pastilles etc) must come in a clear wrapper so you know exactly which one your getting next (also so you know when not to offer the next one!).
From Gavin
This one from Daniel........ASBO's
Yobs and delinquent youths, seem to like ASBOs they treat them like a medal. Well an idea to fix this is call them: "Magic Pink Fluffy Bunny awards" no one not even a yob would want to get that. Perhaps as an extra deterrent they have to wear pink fluffy bunny ears and a badge saying: "I love the magic pink fluffy bunny".
06/03/08 I.D Cards
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said plans to force passport applicants to get an ID card have been dropped at the moment. Ms Smith said she expected the "full roll-out" of ID cards would happen by 2017, and the aim is that by 2015, 90% of foreign nationals will have identity cards. (we assume she means the foreign nationals in this country)
This is a definate (temporary) climbdown from Government policy as defined by Previous Prime Minister Tony Blair.
It must be assumed that in the face of the Loony Partys policy on I.D cards the Government has been forced to rethink this idea.
To make I.D cards more acceptable the loony party is the only party who has issued I.D cards in the form of a mirror, in the format of Key rings, and Compact mirrors for our feminie members. Loony Party Policy States:
I.D cards will be issued in form of a small compact mirror with the following instructions.
1.If asked to identify yourself .....look in mirror to check that its you. If you cannot identify yourself....
2.Ask someone else to look in the mirror to see if its you....If you still cannot identify yourself....
3.Try again later when sober.
We have issued an alternative badge with the details of this policy displayed on it. We also have Keyrings and for the ladies a compact badge with a mirror on the back. These are available for .99p. Check out our merchandise page for details
We now have a complete itinery of all the activities for the impending MHTP 2008. Click THE LOGO for details
20/2/08 Condolances
It is with great regret that we heard today that the Mayor of Elmbridge Cllr Mick Burgess has passed away. Although not a member of the party he was instrumental in giving continual support and advice to some of our members. Our thoughts and condolances go to his family and friends at this difficult time.

14/2/08 Self Responsibility
A self confessed compulsive Gambler is sueing William Hills for £2million for allegedly allowing him to carry on betting. One wonders if he'd have been so quick to complain if he'd have won? Are obese people now going to sue the supermarkets because they allowed people to buy food that makes them fat? Shall we all sue the Brewerys because they sell beer that may make us drunk? Whatever happened to self responsibility? Is this yet another example of the (someone else is to) Blame culture and Political correctness that is worming its way into our society? and whilst on the subject of political correctness you can read a statement on the subject which was sent in, in our Letters From U section
11/2/08 : 
R.I.P.COMMON SENSE
London Times Obituary of the late Mr Common Sense..... Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as;
Knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird catches the worm;
Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer suntan lotion or an Elastoplast to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself against a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little into her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his four stepbrothers, I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
IMPORTANTLY...
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following statistics?
29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
4 have been arrested on drug related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drink driving offenses in the last year
This organization is the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line!

14/01/08 House of Lauds
Well, politically the year has not started out well for Gordon Brown who has a minister Peter Haines who has been accused of some shenanigins with donations. Not to be outdone the Conservatives have also been in the news with a similar accusation. Do you get this feeling of de ja vu?
However I have been asked by one of our members Mark who is deeply concerned about the proposal to alter the status of the House of Lords and has asked us to bring his opinions to your attention.
The Loony Party's stance on this is clear: We shall replace the House of Lords with The House of Cards, to make it easier for the Government to deal with!
Mark writes:
"As you may know last week Mr Brown insulted 1,104 people who had signed a petition calling upon him to scrap his attempts to destroy the House of Lords (as can be read at http://mwb.org.uk/lords-reform-eresponce/ ) today after I had cooled down a little I sent Mr Brown a nice little letter ( which can be read at http://mwb.org.uk/a-letter-to-gordon/ )asking him to do the democratic thing and put the fate of the House of Lords not in the hands of some elitist organisation (as I'm sure you know to well the costs of being a candidate in a parliamentary election makes the entire institution elitist) but should be placed in the hands of the public by referendum.
I ask the loony party, and comrades to also speak up on this issue and make Mr Brown commit to putting the issue of Lords Reform to the public."

OMRLP on YouTube
A Media BTEC course at Cirencester college group made this OMRLP video entitled "We Couldnt Think of a Slogan" as part of their Political Advertising project.
Have a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGEbOhUdZik
Apparently when we field 52 Candidates we are then entiled to a three minute political broadcast Could this be our video? Its a lot more interesting than the other political parties broadcasts, (mind you watching paint dry would be more interesting than that) and its obviously designed to be a vote catcher.
Our thanks for this go to Clare and Robert, Ian and Becky. Fame at last, and possibly a distinction.
Loony Landslide in Surrey

Loony Campaign Gunning for Success (13th Nov 2007)
It just goes to show that the loony party can make a difference. Several of our ex military members have been campaigning in Aldershot to have a 25lb Field Gun outside Aldershot railway station refurbished and looked after as part of Aldershots and indeed everyones heritage. They have after much campaigning and writing finally succeeded when TeamRushmoor from Rushmoor Borough Council’s started work to restore the Field Gun to its former glory in time for Remembrance Day.
A full report on this can be found in the Aldershot News
http://www.aldershot.co.uk/news/2017/2017760/loonies_pleased_as_landmark_is_restored
We hope to have a pic of this here shortly. Well done Loony's
Thankyou for Charity contribution
We have a letter from VARIETY (jersey) thanking us for the money we collected at the door of the Omarroo on the Sat night of the OMRLP Conference. I asked that it be spent on the annual childrens' outing that they do here each year. -Jersey

and finally....
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry La Prise, the man who wrote the song "The Hokey Cokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
