The last placed Clacton By-Election Candidate

[oggbashan]

There were several Independent Candidates in the Clacton By-Election yesterday.

The headline was that UKIP won with a massive majority but the last placed candidate was interesting.

Charlotte Rose, Independent, described herself as a 'high-priced courtesan'. Her platform statement included:

'I love working with people and people like and trust me.'

'I am focusing on compulsory sex and disability education in schools so that all people enjoy healthy and happy sex lives.'

'Pubs in Clacton should be allowed to have striptease.'

'Those who provide professional sexual services in Clacton are so stigmatised that most cannot tell anyone what they do'

The winning UKIP candidate received 21,113 votes.

The others:

Conservative 8,709
Labour 3,957
Green 688
Liberal Democrat 483
Independent (a doctor campaigning for more money for the NHS) 205
Monster Raving Loony Party 127
and
Charlotte Rose 56

She lost her deposit of £500. Was it worth it for the publicity she received?

Did she mean 'compulsory sex' in schools, and 'disability education' or education about both sex and disability? Whichever she meant, the electors of Clacton weren't listening.

Didn't a "courtesan" win a seat in the Italian Parliament a while ago ?

Yes. But that is Italy...

She sounds a lot better than the kipper. Over here we have the Sex Party: https://www.sexparty.org.au/

How handy.
It would certainly pepp-up politics round here.

Yes. And, she then managed to outlaw the illegal brothels that had operated in Italy forever. Not to long afterwards, the prostitutes came to her and told her that they would prefer to work in clean, comfortable brothels, instead of cold, dangerous streets. Unfortunately, the government would never vote for brothels.
Be careful of what you wish for, you may get it.

I'm reminded of what General Douglas MacArthur said in response to the news that a prostitute had been elected to the first post-war Japanese parliament.

"She must have a very loyal clientele."

From what I've seen of this election, it's pity that Miss Rose didn't have more of a large, loyal customer base. Can we expect a little black book to be opened now? Probably not. Those men should be grateful for the secret ballot. LOL.
