Notes:-
1993: Bannon was a member of Slough Constituency Labour Party. After
the election he sent a letter to the Conservative Party candidate
stating that he had contested the election as 'The Conservative
Candidate' in order to draw attention to the situation in Slough
at the 1992 general election when a candidate standing as 'The
Labour Candidate' had polled more votes than the Conservative
majority over Labour. He stated he intended to contest every
subsequent byelection until he polled more votes than the majority
over a Conservative candidate, or the law was changed to prevent
such a situation.
Martin was the candidate of the 'Commoners' Party Movement'.
Marlar sought election as a 'Refendum Party' candidate.
Board advocated holding a referendum on the ratification of the
Maastricht treaty.
Day sought election as a 'People and Pensioners Party' candidate.
Grbin, a Bosnian, sought election as a 'Defence of ChildrenÕs
Humanity' candidate. She advocated military intervention in Bosnia
by UK forces.
Stone was opposed to the monarchy and wished to confiscate its
assets to fund improvements in education.

Note:-
1983: Barry advocated the reintroduction of capital and corporal
punishment.
1995: Douglas sought election as a candidate of the 'Conversative Party'.
He was attempting to cause confusion and to attract the votes of
electors intending to vote for the official Conservative candidate.
His candidature was prompted by the situation in the Devon and East
Plymouth constituency at the 1994 European Parliamentary Elections
where a candidate seeking election as a 'Literal Democrat' polled
more votes than the Conservative majority over the Liberal Democrat
candidate.
Blobby had changed his name by deed poll from John McLagan to that
of a Television character. He was a 34-year-old London businessman,
and advocated a four-day week, the bricking-up of the Channel
Tunnel and action on wobbly tables in restaurants.
McLaren sought election as an 'Old Labour' candidate. He was
opposed to the selection of Woolas as the official Labour
candidate, which he regarded as an imposition by the National
Executive Committee of the Labour Party. He had been expelled
from the Labour Party in 1993.
