IN an election campaign which has yet to catch fire, here's one man who could create a spark: Guy Fawkes.
Four centuries after he was foiled in his plot to destroy Parliament, the St Peter's School old boy is back planning to put a rocket under modern politicians.
His manifesto is refreshingly honest. Vote for my Dungeon Death And Taxes Party, he says, and most of your money will fund a luxurious lifestyle for me and my fellow MPs.
Voters disaffected with the mainstream parties may just say this is my kind of Guy. Come polling day we will find out how many agree with his Parliamentary philosophy: "To hell with the lot of 'em!"
