While Jacob (or William) Rees-Mogg is an alien, but is still allowed to stand.

How is that fair?

It doesnt inspire confidence in me about our leaders when their are/were candidates who are obviously insane.

Agreed - that's why they are not my leaders!

However, the really insane ones are often the ones who seem normal.

I like this quote by Aldous Huxley.

"I have just come to truly realize that my purpose is to raise consciousness here on Earth - I originated from Sirius."

 

This is a typical 90's new age trope, what star system is your consciousness from and why are you in a human body on planet earth?  A way to be "special".

It just occurred to me. If you claim to be abducted by aliens or hear voices in your head. Society says your insane.

But if you're a dude claiming to be a female or vice versa. That's normal.

I don;t see the problem?   She appears quite as sane and well balanced as most current members of Westminster.
