What the fuck is Elmo doing there anyway?

nobody cares about your elections

Who is the weird Darth vader in the centre?

>>75841031
He ran for election in her area so he gets to stand up and see how many people voted for him.
(It was 3 people)

The guy in the bucket on the head aka Lord Buckethead got like 300

>>75841163
That's hilarious
So anyone can run just like that?

>>75841031
He's Bobby Smith of New Fathers 4 Justice, a protest party that always runs in the PM's constituency. Their policy is:
>"the abolition of the deeply controversial, undemocratic secret court system that still exists within the ‘family’ division despite forty years of inequality and protest."

>>75841163
Is this real?

>>75841219
>>75841204
Yes. This is how actual democracies work.

>>75841239
what´s the story behind the white knight?

>>75841353
Monster Raving Looney Party. Another joke party.

>>75841239
Damn and ive thought elections here were a joke

>>75841204
You pay £500 and if you get a certain amount of the vote you get your money back and if you don't you lose it. So anyone can run for parliament it's just if you want to put up £500 for the laugh to dress up as Elmo knowing you're not going to win.

The dude in the white is from the Monster Raving Looney Party and they always put up random candidates literally for jokes - if they win a seat one year they would have literally no idea what to do

>>75841388
Yours are a joke because they're probably corrupt and shit, our are a joke because you can literally laugh at them

>>75841388
Eh, its good that anyone can stand, regardless of political views.

There is a dude called Screaming Lord something and a guy called Lord Buckethead - you can't say people don't do it for a laugh.

He's probably a turbororke so whatever

Was it really that bad? I havent spoken spanish in so long I need to get back into it

All democracies have joke parties.

But it's funny how the British system allows for them to line up in front of the cameras. Logical but still funny.

in English a platform is their position: ie what the politician promises to bring to their country if elected

>>75841239
Here anyone can run too
But you need to get certain amount of signatures first

Imagine being one of those guys in suits who actually are serious and then you get less votes than a chinese bootleg Darth Vader.

That's why I love them.
