Baxter Basics ("The MP who loves to eMPty his nuts") was a fictional character in the British comic Viz.

He is the most political of Viz's characters. Baxter was a politician and member of the Conservative Party.

He is essentially a sexual pervert, closet homosexual and utterly corrupt, yet he always attempted to portray himself as a fine and upstanding family man of utter integrity.

Baxter Basics first appeared in the early 1990s and his name is a spoof of the then British Prime Minister John Major's rallying call for his Conservative Party to "get back to basics", widely interpreted as meaning a return to traditional family values and morality.

This was mocked a great deal as it was followed by a time when Conservatives were frequently mired in political scandals involving adultery and other forms of sexual misbehaviour (e.g. David Mellor, Stephen Milligan) or corruption.

A complete hypocrite, Baxter would denounce the evils of things like prostitution, yet he frequently hired the services of prostitutes.

He once had a sexual relationship with a young man and in that same episode, when he was later asked by a reporter if he was gay ("Are you a lifter of gentlemen's shirts sir?")
