Elections Down Under.

Well it is that time again. We folks here in Australia are once again being called upon to elect a national leader. I currently live in a marginal seat - so for once I need to put some serious thought into who shall recieve my vote. In a day voting changes very little - the government always gets in. I cannot help but wonder if it is time to provide the public with a genuine viable alternative.

You see, even independant candidates are politicians of some kind. What we need is someone - just one will do - to remind the nation that somethings need to be taken seriously, but some other issues are of relatively minor importance. What I guess I am trying to say... the trouble with politics is that politicians seem to have a rather non-existent sense of humour. All that hard work running the country causes great STRESS (do you get my drift yet...)

So I propose a new Candidate. Von Jiblets, Vladamir (Rubber Chicken Party) for the Federal seat of Wherever.

We have but one election platform: to install rubber stress chickens in every bathroom in Parliament house and also beneath the seats in the chamber in case of an emergency. We can even provide over-sized stress chickens for those who carry extra responsibility. Perhaps all government vehicles should also be properly fitted in this manner...?

Well, it would be a memorable campaign!

Let me know what you think, all opinions welcome.
