[Pil-pc-oceania] FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS

[P Ferguson]

While the two party system we have now - plus a few minor parties just to 
keep it interesting - is not ideal, but at least we know who is who in the 
zoo.

Fortunately, there is supposedly a separation between church and state - 
otherwise we might have ten political parties representing the major 
religions.

If the permaculturists climb a tree and start their own political party, why 
not a bio-dynamic party, an organic party, a gardening for pleasure party, 
an asparagus growers party, a wheat growers party - then move into the 
community, and every large hobby or sporting group could have a party.

Then there are animal welfare parties, the list is endless.  Mind you, there 
is a Vote for Fern party in the Benelong electorate.   Fern is a mildly 
retarded ginger kitten rescued by Cat Rescue [ an off-shoot of WLPA].  She 
is standing against John Howard on the platform of mandatory desexing.  She 
has her own posters and website!  But this is a political 'stunt'.  No one 
expects to have a litter tray in Canberra.
