It involves the names of the parties...and I do not mean the bylines e.g. English Democrats' "Putting England First!" or Respect's "Peace, Justice, Equality".In full: Ealing Southall candidates : Here is the list of candidates in the Ealing Southall by-election taking place on 19 July. Their names, and the description of who they are standing for are as described on the returning officer's official list of candidates:
Nigel Bakhai, Liberal Democrats
John Sydney Cartwright, The Official Monster Raving Loony Party
Sati Chaggar, English Democrats - 'Putting England First!'
Salvinder Singh Dhillon, Respect - Peace, Justice, Equality
Sarah Janet Edwards, Green Party
Kuldeep Singh Grewal, Independent
Tony Lit, David Cameron's Conservatives
Yakub Masih, Christian Party 'Proclaiming Christ's Lordship'
Jasdev Singh Rai, Independent
KT Rajan, UK Independence Party
Virendra Kumar Sharma, The Labour Party Candidate
Gulbash Singh, Independent
I posted a possible reason in THIS BBC R5L Message Board thread; obviously I could be wrong but it does seem a very strange 'mistake' to make and I have never heard that phrase before.
In-depth article on the By-election plus party info etc can be found HERE. (link to Wikipedia)

Yes, fancy somebody writing the words 'Yakub Masih' into the title of Tony Lit's party's name.

Yakub Masih is the Christian Party guy.
David Cameron's Conservatives
Christian Party 'Proclaiming Christ's Lordship'
Well the Conservatives always had this thing about the Church of England being the Conservative Party at prayer - so I thought. Okay, I'll fetch me coat.
Ah...the penny drops...very belatedly!
Don't get your coat, that's quite funny ;-)
