Paul Chuckle has refused to follow in Nigel Farage's footsteps and step down as leader of the Chuckle Party.

Not a single vote was cast for the aspiring politician, and yet he still maintains they "had a good night".

Chuckle - real name Paul Elliott - is best known as a children's entertainer who uses the catchphrase "to me, to you".

The fact that the party is not real and didn't canvass for any votes isn't going to stand in the way of Chuckle.

Last night, he even suggested that Farage join the fictional party.

Mooted policies for the party include clean energy initiatives.

It has been widely rumoured that Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband are both due to stand down after taking a drubbing at the polls by the Conservative Party.

Nigel Farage has stood down following Ukip's defeat at South Thanet, Kent.

Chuckle's Twitter feed mostly consists of selfies in trains with Barry and retweets from fans.
