It just occurred to me: you could also pop in a video of Monty Python’s Election Night Special, with the Sensible Party, Silly Party, Slightly Silly Party, and Very Silly Party vying for power, and such MP candidates as Kevin Phillips Bong, Jethro Q. Walrustitty and Tarquin Fintimlimbim Ole Ftang Ftang Biscuitbarrel.

A classic! In the A&E video series, it’s volume 9.
