There have been some exceptionally weird moments to this Federal Election campaign. 

But Independent candidate Alex Dyson, who is running in Wannon in Victoria, has trumped them all in a very bizarre promotional video.

In the clip Mr Dyson explains his policies through interpretive dance before throwing himself into a river.

The short video, which has a repetitive backing beat playing throughout, the 30-year-old MP starts by introducing himself.

 'Hello, my name is Alex Dyson and I am running as the independent candidate for the seat of Wannon in the Federal Election,' he says. 

'And here are my policies by the medium of interpretive dance,' Mr Dyson announces. 

Mr Dyson suddenly launches into a rather peculiar dance routine, in which he stares strangely at the camera, and kneels on one knee before lifting his hands above his head.

He then slowly starts to stand up as he pretends to be a tree sprouting from the ground.

As he moves upwards his first policy flashes up on the screen: 'Forward thinking environmental policies. From Seed to Tree,' it read.
