The Rock 'n' Roll Loony Party was a minor political party in the United Kingdom. It split from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party after the death of Screaming Lord Sutch. In elections to Swale Borough Council in 2003, one of its candidates polled more than a member of the Liberal Democrats. The party was led by Chris "Screwy" Driver, who for a while was Mayor of Queenborough, on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.
At the 2005 General Election the party fielded one candidate, in Sittingbourne and Sheppey, who managed to poll more votes than the Veritas candidate. It was deregistered in August 2007.[1]
