David Davis can breathe easy: the best known of the 25 opponents he will face in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election has no intention of actually winning.
That's not just because David Icke, the former Coventry City goalkeeper, BBC sports presenter, Green Party spokesman and self-proclaimed Son of God, supports Mr Davis's campaign to hold back the barriers of the state. It's mostly because if he did become an MP, he would have to swear allegiance to the sovereign.
According to Mr Icke's beliefs, the world is ruled by a secret group of illuminati, a race of shape-shifting reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood. Among their number are President Bush, Boxcar Willie and, of course, the Queen.
Mr Icke launched his campaign with a surprise announcement live on Kerrang! Radio earlier this week, telling listeners that he had been inspired by Mr Davis's decision to resign his Commons seat as a matter or principle over the Government's handling of the 42-day terror detention Bill.
“It’s something I absolutely applaud," Mr Icke said. “I’m not standing against him because my worst nightmare would be to go into Parliament, into that web of deceit, lies and corruption.
“Although theoretically you’re voted to become an MP by the people, you have to pledge allegiance to the Queen before you can take that seat.
"I don’t pledge allegiance to anyone or anything except my own conscience - certainly not to a woman who appears to spend most of her life with a face like a smacked a***.”
Mr Icke's campaign in the East Yorkshire constituency will focus instead on warning voters about the approach of a "global Orwellian state", not unlike the Big Brother fears raised by Mr Davis.
If the good people of Haltemprice do not warm to Mr Icke, they will have no shortage of other candidates to choose from: there are a total of 26 including the former Shadow Home Secretary.
The most attractive has to be Gemma Garrett, Miss Great Britain, who is representing the Miss Great Britain Party. Ms Garrett's last attempt to "put the beauty back into politics" was at last month's Crewe and Nantwich by-election when she came tenth of ten candidates with just 113 votes.
The clear favourite, of course, will be Mr Davis himself, who officially launched his campaign today by outlining "10 policies to protect British freedom".
Mr Davis put reversing the 42 days pre-charge detention plans at the top of his list, followed by scrapping ID cards.

I believe what David Icke is trying to tell us for one thing I've seen the truth for my self had confirmation from a real true source I'll shall keep the name of that source to my self. Reptilians do exist & UFOs sighted on 12th July 2008 comfirmed by the source I got told from bush with them.
Michael, Scarborough, United Kingdom
I sincerely urge people to look at Davids Big Brother presentation on Google Video.This gets to the real issues concerning the debate about the surveillance society we are living in. Research the concept of 'Controlled opposition' . Don't make a snap judgement on David based on 20 years ago.
Terry, Burton, Staffs
Look at david's predictions for this 'movie world'.....what's next - oh yes, war with Iran, now previewing on every Meida station in the UK! Global warming? Even though NSAS confirm that the sun sport activity it now DEAD, and when's the peak.....oh yes 2012 - calm before the...............
edi, london,
David Icke's work is real journalism and should be applauded. I encourage everyone to watch his Big Brother, Big Picture presentation on Google Video.
Nick, Crowborough, England
David Icke is quite obviously mentally unstable, it seems unfair to let him humiliate himself like this.
Reptiles, really?
Dan, London,
Everything he has to say I totally agree with in his recent video in Hull on google video. At the end it made me stand up in front if my computer and clap whilst having a lump in my throat.An accolade no other politician can attest to.
James Corby, Exeter, UK
Checking on Google VideoI discover that David Icke's three hour public meeting is the MOST VIEWED video in the UK today (9th July) - I also note that at the time of writing its the 8th most popular in the WORLD!! YES THE WORLD!
Simon Mulley, Bletchley, United Kingdom
positivly refreshed by the comments. whatever david`s views on e.t`s , one thing is for sure our gov. does not serve us but others, the sooner people wake up to the possibility, do their homework and realise this is fact the sooner we can begin to sort this mess out.
fico, richmond, england
If David Davis has nothing to fear from David Icke ,why wont he not agree to a debate with him, or allow him into his public meetings? what is he afraid of being told the whole truth?
arthur, Frome, United Kingdom
well the cover up/mocking journalists can clearly see which side of this debate public opinion is on now cant they. good comments people, were really starting to see the complicitness of a media who it seems would be happy to see us all living in a true prison state.
RR, wgc, eng
And even Box Car Wilily? It's always those little stabs that indicate they type of article your supposed to wright. Wink, wink , nudge, nudge. It would be nice to pave over the draconian monarchy and put Mr. Icke in it's place. England take your country back!
Aril L, Tampa, USA
I find it interesting that not a single comment here denounces David Icke. I totally agree with many of his views. I struggle with his reptilian beliefs, but you can't fault a man who has successfully predicted 9-11 and the war of terror and said these were shams - and he's absolutely right!
Ciaran Gallagher, Derry, N.Ireland
Please ignore the tired attempts to discredit Icke. He has changed enormously over the last 20 years, and many who criticised him then, are now agreeing with much of what he has said since.
Don't take the word of establishment journalism, take a look at his work, and judge with your own mind
Seb, Birmingham, UK
I heard David I speak in Oz more than a decade ago - he made sense then and he makes even more tragic sense now. Goodonya, David.
Erina Mansfield, Adelaide, Australia
Bit by bit, everything that David Icke has talked about has become true over the years. He is a true hero and more and more people are becoming aware of this.
Paul, London, U.K
After all the laughing and name calling was finished, I cleared my head and began to research things for myself. My life has changed in very positive ways.
Please research David Icke's work and the work of many, many others. You deserve better than this!
Greg Smithfield, Boston, United States
I think it is pretty obvious to all who still have a modicum of brain wave activity that nothing has changed for a very long time. We still have wars, corruption, ignorance and so on. I wonder how many of those that critisise David Icke have actually bothered to read even one of his books.
Nic, London, England.
Well done David Icke, in a truly free society, your amazing and articulae presentation would be reported as it was; However, gutless journalists continue to refuse to address REAL facts and issues affecting not only US but their own families... You couldn't make it up!!!!!
Martin Noakes, Crawley, U.K
David Icke gets my vote
Mr Wright, City of london, England
I'm not British but if I were, David Icke would definitely get my vote. The man is a hero! David Icke for president, I say!
Caroline , Johannesburg, South Africa
Hes right about the reptiles just look at the Labour front bench.
Cromwell, Leeds, England
david icke gets my vote a true leader lets be honest arn't we all fed up with usual weak politicians my advice get an education read one of mr ick's books
peter, leicester, england
David Icke strives to convey to the people truths ,you gotta admire his relentless drive to share the knowledge and information that he has gathered from so many people all around the world.
Julie Croley, Dorchester,
David Davis, didn't he used to be a politician?
Aden Brill, Hereford, UK
Yay, David! Finally, someone's going to help make a stand for freedom from corruption.
Wendy, Alberta, Canada
a lot of people mock David Icke, he actually has some profound observations on the truth behind the Orwellian society that is being maufactured before our very eyes. He actually predicted the facts behind 9/11/ Problem reaction Solution is how the NWO game of chess is being played out
patrick, The Hague, netherlands
God bless David Icke. The only political candidate in the country to tell the truth about Parliament and the Queen. Whatever you think of his ideas, the guys got a level of commitment and integrity that so refreshing.
Cassandra, Yeovil, Somerset
But Mr Icke is correct, the world *is* ruled by a race of shape-shifting reptilian humanoids, one of which had a mantra of 'there will be no more boom and bust'.
Paul, Coventry,
Be happy that you have actual choices in candidates that can all be heard. Here in the States the MSM censors at least 60% of the total number of candidates. There is more to the election than Obama.
Tom, Kansas City, US
Do we only have Mr Icke's word for it that he too is not from the same race of shape-shifting reptilian humanoids!.?
Chris, Ashford, Middx, England
No to EU,
No to immigration,
No to ID cards,
No to 'New Labour' and it's hidden agendas.
Yes to REFERENDUM on ALL Major issues.
Nigel Farage for Prime Minister, no one else can be trusted.
Clive Burghard , LANCING, ENGLAND
Hopefully David will enlighten a few more voters as to what is really going on, any fool can see that the Government do not represent the electors in any shape or form, if they did there would be a REFERENDUM!
Clive Burghard, LANCING, ENGLAND
