So what, exactly, was Derek Jackson, pariamentry candidate with raised fist, doing last night?

I found this absolutely hillarious last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHc2uqh4vyA

Can someone explain what Derek Jackson was up to? I must admit I initially believed it to be a black power salute a la 68 olympics… but that doesn’t quite seem to fit.

Any clue?

He’s apparently a member of the Landless Peasant party.

Never heard of them but would have voted for them had I known, if I had actually cast a vote :frowning:

There were a bunch of very odd people running in David Cameron’s constituency as well. I guess it’s because they’re guaranteed TV time on election night. At least 2 or 3 of those candidates in Kirkcaldy refused to shake Gordon Brown’s hand, which I thought was a bit needless.

Wow, he.looked.ridiculous.
