What does a deposit mean for British elections?
In order to stand as a candidate, an individual must pay £500 when filing his nomination papers. This "deposit" is returned if the candidate gains 5% or more of the vote. It is meant to discourage frivolous candidacies.

Then I thought of the California Recall with 6 pages of candidates, so maybe deposits are a good thing!
Sadly, the UK does still get a lot of ridiculous parties, like the Monster Raving Loony Party, the Personality AND Rational Thinking? Yes! Party, and the Death, Dungeons & Taxes Party.
