Brian May isn’t just complaining about the U.K. government; he might just throw his hat in the ring.
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.
