Oh cool, somebody who's everything I'm not! LOL. Yeh, that'd be necessary ... <grin>
I'd be a lousy politician ... I mumble, theoreticize, digress and will never consistently stick to one side. Plus the tabloids would catch me bouncing around on some houseparty, drinking water <ahem>. Maverick solo parliamentary faction, perhaps. (Here in Amsterdam, back in the 30s, some Dadaists put up a famous local vagabond, Hadjememaar (If-only-you-could-get-me), for election - and he was easily voted into the local council).
I nominate Walter Hinteler as "shadow" candidate for the Social democrats. I'd vote for him if he were in my country. So now we need a puppet for him too.
Sofia for the Republicans - she'd be a dream candidate! Articulate, passionate, bold-spoken, broad-minded - no fear for the Democrats yet no truck with the Religious Right. Where we want the Republicans to go, booyaa! I'd
almost vote for her <g>.
Sozobe (the one poster I almost always agree with) for the Democrats. Two women candidates for the main parties! Much better than Hilary.
And SlappyDooHoo for the
Monster Raving Loony Party.
Oh, and OK, I'd accept a shadow nomination for the Royalists*. Everybody needs a Royal Family. We could elect America's from among the A2K posters, as well <g>.
*(The Independent Royalist Party in Estonia was founded in 1989 as a spin-off of a satirical TV programme. Estonia hasnt got a royal family, and never had, but the Royalists suggested the Swedish Crown Prince might do. They won 7% of the vote in 1992, more than enough to pass the electoral threshhold.)
