LONDON (AFP) – The Labour party has suspended a candidate ahead of the May 6 general election, it said Monday, after he boasted about his sex life online.

John Cowan, 35, was also accused of saying he "would not be happy" if his children dated a Muslim, the Sunday Telegraph newspaper said.

Describing his sex life, Cowan reportedly wrote: "Why limit it to just one woman? I would prefer one for each day of the week!"

He was dropped two weeks after Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour banned another candidate, Stuart MacLennan, from standing in a Scottish seat due to his foul-mouthed rants on micro-blogging site Twitter.

MacLennan abused figures including Brown's main rivals Conservative leader David Cameron, who he called a "twat", and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, who was labelled a "bastard".

A spokeswoman for Labour said Cowan's alleged comments on dating and motoring websites were "totally unacceptable".

"The general secretary of the Labour party has suspended the candidate from the Labour party and we are taking action to ensure he is never again a Labour candidate," she said.

1. The first rule of Political Cockfight Club is you do not talk about your cock. The second rule of Political Cockfight Club is you do not talk about your cock.

2. I can’t speak to MacLennan’s opinion of Nick Clegg, but the bit about Cameron sounds like a Kinsley gaffe.

Britain is doomed no matter which party wins. There are no Thatchers on the horizon.

They say "accuse" as if this would be a bad thing.
