The Al-Zebabist Nation of Ooog is a satirical British political party, led by Zebadiah Abu-Obadiah. The only election it has contested was South Thanet in the 2015 general election. It received 30 votes, the lowest of the 11 candidates.
Election campaign 2015[edit]
It claims credit for undermining the credibility of Nigel Farage with a series of campaign pledges that are popularly regarded as absurd. It has been described as the weirdest party,[2] while Vice News UK described its members as "heroin-loving piss-takers".[3] In February 2015 it bought the web address www.ukipthanet.co.uk[4] and redirected users to the Al-Zebab homepage where visitors were told to "renounce [their] white skin" and shown a YouTube video of their party political broadcast. It also claims to have scared Farage away from attending any public hustings events.[2]
Campaigning[edit]
In April 2016, the party distributed Brexit leaflets in Thanet mocking murder victim Lee Rigby and calling on Britain to "join Africa".[5][6]
Leader Robert Boaler, known as Prophet Zebadiah Abu-Obadiah, released a rap video in September 2016 calling for the beheading of Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage.[7][8]
