    The Mum Of The Singer From The Kooks Is Standing For Parliament

    She votes in her own way.

    Here's Sheila Boswell, the newly-selected Labour candidate for Putney, with Ed Miliband.

    Her son is Luke Pritchard, the lead singer of The Kooks.

    Luke's pretty pleased that his mum could become an MP.

    And Sheila's proud of her son - he's even on her election leaflets.

    Although it's pretty unlikely that she will win the election.

    Sheila will be fighting the incumbent Conservative MP Justine Greening, who has a majority of over 10,000 votes.

    So you probably shouldn't expect to see The Kooks wandering around the House of Commons any time soon.
