UKIP may have lost all but one of its local council seats in England and Wales, in a disastrous showing in local council elections but help is at hand.

The Official Monster Raving Looney Party (OMRLP) Friday responded to UKIP’s plight by offering the far right isolationists an electoral pact for the upcoming general election on June 8th.

“We’re a perfect fit,” said OMRLP spokesman Baron Von Thunderclap.

“We’re both parties of sociopathic amateurs with no dress sense, neither of us have two sensible policies to rub together and after these local election results no one will ever take UKIP seriously again either,” he laughed.

However he cautioned that the OMRLP had just invested in a new leather upholstered Laadaas sofa from Ikea.

“That gives us two more seats than UKIP – so this is not going to be an alliance of equals – we’ll be dictating terms,” he warned, pointing outwhat happened last time his party had an offer of an electoral pact rejected.

That came in the early 1990s when OMRLP beat the rump Social Democrat Party of former foreign secretary Dr David Owen into fifth place in a by election.

“Dr Owen declined our offer and wound up being sent to Yugoslavia to broker a peace deal in the then ongoing brutal Yugoslav civil war,” he said.

“UKIP better be ready to deal, or they could end up in Syria,” warned Von Thunderclap.
