The wacky dancer said he hopes to become MP in his home town of Salford, and plans to run on a platform of redistributing wealth, tackling cancer and dementia, and an end to all war.
The 49 year-old, best known for shaking the maracas with the 1980s band, told the Manchester Evening News he plans to "stir things up" in his bid to succeed former Labour cabinet minister Hazel Blears.
He told the paper: "I've been saying we need a revolution, and there's no good shouting about it when you're not actually doing anything.
"If you want to do something about things you've got to get into the corridors of power and take them on."
The 2005 Celebrity Big Brother winner accused the political establishment of operating a policy of "divide and rule" and vowed to create a "new world order".
Bez, whose real name is Mark Berry, said: "If you're voting for me, you're voting as a protest about what's happening in the world at the moment."
He pledged to end the current banking system, redistribute wealth, and promote a more sustainable environment.
And the keen beekeeper said he also hopes to "end illness" and "get everybody back to an alkaline state".
He is expected to stand as an independent candidate when he contests the safe Labour seat.
Bez is not the first pop star who has ventured into the world of politics.
Blur drummer Dave Rowntree stood as the Labour party candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster seat at the last election - but lost to the Conservatives.
And former Fugees frontman Wyclef Jean tried to stand to become president of his native Haiti - but was forced to abandon his bid because he had not lived in the country long enough.

You'll need it if you make it into the halls of evil & look 'em in the eye.
I for one, think that he'll beat Hazel Blears since the whole of Salford will probably vote for him!
Quote: "If you're voting for me, you're voting as a protest about what's happening in the world at the moment."
Part of his manifesto can be seen in his comments on "shared land” removal of the world’s banking system, an end to all debt, & giving away free energy and free food. He says his party will be called "The Reality Party" & that he still uses recreational drugs, which he's got to stop IMO. He's anti-fracking, pro-organic (he says that people need to take back responsibility for what they eat) /"perma-culture" & wants to promote "social consciousness." Sounds good to me, although it's doubtful that he'll be taken seriously judging by the snarky remarks of journos in their write-ups.
He also says that he's been told to keep his ideas on how to remove bankers & their system, "close to his chest", what chance that it involves sharing the knowledge about psychopaths? Perhaps that's wishful thinking, people (some, but that's probably the authoritarian-following London "luvvies" in the press & their friends) already think he's "wacky" as is stated in the article, if he were to start spouting anti-psychopathy speeches then his potential tenure as an MP, will be short-lived.
Can you imagine him & Russel Brand in the same anti-establishment party? Well, anything is possible. I'm going to quote a placard that "bez" held at an anti-fracking demo: " Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn't make you a terrorist."

Good luck bezza!
