John Creasey: Down with All Parties!

At 61, John Creasey, creator of such world-famous figures as 'The Toff' and 'Gideon of the Yard,' is the world's most prolific writer. He has written to date 543 books. His world sale is 65 million. He is translated into 28 languages. The minimum sale of each of his books - either 'by John Creasey' or one of his numerous pseudonyms - is estimated at 100,000. But for all that, the burning passion in Creasey's life is not writing, but his one-man campaign to reform British politics. He has no time for the Party struggle at Westminster, and has in fact formed his own political movement - All-Party Alliance. The APA has fought four by-elections always with the same candidate - John Creasey. His own philosophy of life is called 'Self-ism,' by means of which he says 'all the untapped sources of good in men will one day be released.'
