In his own words, a vote for Lord Buckethead is a vote for: ‘Strong, not entirely stable, leadership.’

Lord Buckethead is the man wearing a cape and a tall black bucket on his head, who stood against Theresa May in the 2017 snap general election and although the space lord was not elected as an Independent MP for Maidenhead, he did get 249 votes.


Two hundred and forty-nine people voted for the intergalactic space lord instead of Theresa May.

Lord Buckethead made previous appearances at the 1987 general election standing for election in the Finchley constituency against a formidable opponent Margaret Thatcher, however the 131 votes he received did not shake the Iron Lady.



Again, in 1992, Lord Buckethead stood against John Major in the Huntingdon constituency running with his ‘Gremloids’ party where he received 107 votes.

On his website he proclaims he is the only candidate who has ‘personally stood against two Conservative Prime Ministers’ and announced his return to ‘complete a historic hat-trick.’

He said: ‘If Mrs May cannot even defend her own social care policies just days after they are launched, how can she possibly cope against a Space Lord?’

He speaks for the masses.

Some people may poke holes in Lord Buckethead’s policies, some may say he is trying to further is own cause, others may say he is a dreamer, but what we are all guaranteed if he ever occupies number 10, is free bikes.

The intergalactic space Lord assures his voters that his manifesto is a ‘suite of policies that have been fully costed and which marries fiscal responsibility with and interest in lasers.’

One thing that can be said, he is a straight shooter, he called to debate with his rival Theresa May and ‘that funny Islington chap with the beard’ in public.

Lord Buckethead assured that any denying of the opportunity to debate will ‘be treated as cowardice and a tacit endorsement of my superiority.’

Here, here Lord Buckethead.

But where does he stand on the issues? Well, Lord Buckethead provided his eager voters with an update on his opinions on the education system.

In short he wants to establish new ‘Gamma Schools’ which make sure that teachers are paid better to attract bright graduates, there are increased facilities for children including playing fields, and any misbehaving child will be blasted into deep space and his/her parents will receive ‘a lovely fruit basket by way of consolation or celebration.’
