Lord Buckethead: Theresa May's overlooked opponent who made 'big' promises!

In the furore over snap elections called by British Prime Minister Theresa May – wherein she ironically lost her Parliamentary majority – and Brexit woes, one candidate was thoroughly ignored.

Clad in all-black, the immense black-robed figure with a cylindrical container as his mark, Lord Buckethead stood against May in her Maidenhead constituency and was seen greeting people, taking pictures, and generally spreading a happy mood to the public.

Sadly, Lord Buckethead only managed to score 249 votes – or 0.4% of the total. Yet, it became the "new Buckethead record".

But who really is this ‘caped crusader’?

Seen standing right next to May and notoriously ‘dabbing’ for a great shot, the “intergalactic space lord” has appeared in the political arena twice before; facing off Margaret Thatcher and John Major in 1987 and 1992, respectively.

Nevertheless, it remains unclear as to whether the person under the hood this year is the same one who ran in the prior two elections or if all of them are different people.

Be it as it may, Lord Buckethead did not come unprepared. He has a very prominent social media presence, his own policies and manifesto, and a song as well.

Manifesto

The poor guy wanted to nationalise Adele!

"In order to maximise the efficient use of UK resources, the time is right for great British assets to be brought into public ownership for the common good," the Lord said

And abolish all lordships!

Oh and here, we think he might be frustrated at a problem that is rampant in Pakistan as well. Urinating in public!

Song

Here’s Lord Buckethead doing some online shenanigans:
