Bez, Nige and the real Brockley connection

Brockley, famous for the hard-headed pragmatism of its fringe party activists, has been revealed as the registered home of the mysterious Realists Party, which has come into conflict with the former Happy Mondays hype man Bez, who is attempting to stand as a Parliamentary candidate for the soundalike Reality Party.

The Independent, reports that the Electoral Commission has ruled that Bez's party sounds too much like the Realists Party:

The only available details about The Realists’ Party are that it registered in February 2012, it is based in Brockley, London, that its leader is Ms Jane Lawrence and it has a Treasurer and Nominating Officer...

The two other Reality Party candidates are Nigel Askew, a pub landlord in Ramsgate, Kent, is standing in South Thanet where Ukip leader Nigel Farage hopes to become an MP, and Jackie Anderson, who is listed as the ‘west Salford and Eccles’ candidate, although the constituency does not exist anymore.
