Queen stalwart Brian May is considering running for political office according to his agent.

May's agent Phil Symes tells the BBC that May is "seriously considering" a run, either as an independent candidate or on behalf of the Queen guitarist's Common Decency project, in the upcoming vote for members of Parliament.

The idea, Symes said, has been sparked by "frustration at a system that he sees as failing the electorate."

The Common Decency project hopes "to re-establish common decency in our lives, work and Parliament."

May said last month that he wants to "get rid of the current government" and those in Parliament who aren't "representing our interests" by creating a House of Commons filled with "individuals voting according to their conscience."

Oddsmakers are already putting May's chances of election at 25/1.
