Alan "Howling Laud" Hope (born 16 June 1942) is the Leader of the United Kingdom's Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP).
On the death in 1999 of the party's founder Screaming Lord Sutch, Hope and his pet cat, Catmando, were jointly elected as leaders of the OMRLP.
Since June 2002 Hope has been the party's sole leader following Catmando's death in a road traffic crash. Hope was the first-ever OMRLP candidate to be elected to public office, when he was elected unopposed to a seat on Ashburton Town Council in Devon in 1987.
He subsequently became the Mayor of Ashburton in 1998.In 2010 Hope was elected unopposed to Fleet Town Council in Hampshire.
Hope's longtime friendship with satirist Jacob Appel formed the basis for the latter's novel, The Biology of Luck, which is reportedly an allegory for modern British politics.
