Newport residents receive hoax Welsh Nude and Proud party leaflets ahead of Super Thursday elections

An eye-opening political manifesto promising a ‘nude revolution’ for a British city has been posted to shocked residents ahead of Super Thursday’s local elections. 

While major political parties across the UK have been gearing up for this week’s elections, Newport residents were left stunned by one unorthodox campaigning leaflet.

Hoax ‘Welsh Nude and Proud’ party pamphlets, adorned with bold manifesto promises and topless pictures of a man claiming to be Dennis Smith, have been posted throughout the Welsh city.

Among his more shocking statements, Mr Smith promises to strip the city centre and encourages voters to ‘say YES to NO clothes’ as part of a ‘nude revolution’ for Newport West.

Twitter users were left in fits of laughter after reading the fake flyers. 

Newport residents were shocked to receive these campaign leaflets from the ‘Welsh Nude and Proud Party’

Forget political posturing. 

The Welsh Nude and Proud party have laid everything on the table in their fight for the Newport West seat – including promises for cleaner air, more hygienic measures on public transport and nudist-friendly hotspots.

Their manifesto states: ‘When it comes to tackling crime, we think naked is better.

‘Statistics have shown that naked men are almost 90 times less likely to be mugged.’

And as part of plans to transform public transport, the ‘party’ said: ‘Not only do we want all buses to be electric, we also want them to be fitted with wipe down seats as standard’.

As part of plans to ‘liberate’ the area, ‘political candidate’ Dennis Smith says a vote for him is a vote for a ‘better, more naked Newport’.

Social media users loved the pioneering pamphlets – with some even wishing for a nudist candidate of their own.

Sheila Provins wrote: ‘Shame this party is not standing on other constituencies. Hope they remembered to apply plenty of factor 50, though.’ 

Daniel Adams asked: ‘The bit that sticks out (calm down) is the vote to renude Newport centre. Does that suggest it was once nude and now isn’t?’

While Drew Davies said he was excited to see Mr Smith on Super Thursday: ‘Can’t wait to see them on stage after the county announcing who who!

‘Where will he pin his rosette?’

Those running for election in Newport West on Super Thursday are: Kevin Boucher (Reform UK), Jayne Bryant (Labour), Johnathan Clark (Plaid Cymuu), Michael Enea (Conservative and Unionist), Steve Marsh, (Freedom Alliance), John Miller (Lib Dems) and Amelia Womack (Greens). 

Ms Bryant has held the seat since May 2016, after winning a majority of 4,115 votes. 

But it’s unlikely the other seven local candidates standing in the Senedd Cymru election will be quaking in their boots – as the Welsh Nude and Proud Party candidate did not complete and submit their nomination papers ahead of deadline.

The ‘political party’ has been contacted to provide a statement. 

When voting for members of the Senedd, eligible residents get two votes – one for a constituency member, and one to represent the Welsh region.
