Guy in the red ribbon.  He looks earnest but not loonie.  All of the smiling candidates look like hucksters.

Because I wish I didn't have to.

Also I couldn't find a linkable picture of the Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol candidate, alas. So we'll have to do without him :(
1st choice - #9.
2nd choice - #5.

Apologies for the staring into my soul picture. I had no idea that was so big :o

If a mod could change it, here's an alternative :lol:

Damn it.

No, #4 is the UKIP guy.

Given the wackiness of many of the candidates, I could have chosen worse.

I think the Alberta election has radicalized you.  Soon you will be joining a gun club.

Do you recall the "How right wing are you on a scale of 1-10" thread?

I was the one who said: 11.

Whigs? :blink:


Damn you've a lot of parties.
We are usually lucky just to get all 3 majors, an independent  and one minor party (usually the loony right flavour of the month)

Considering how our Republicans turned out, I could go for some old-school Whig action.
The Whig Party are alarmingly sensible. They're basically a liberal metropolitan elites party. They're pro-Europe, socially liberal and economically liberal (like an EU friendly David Cameron). They like things like building more houses through relaxing planning laws :mmm:

The founder said he was worried that it might be a party that only appeals to zone 2 Londoners, but found most of his positive emails came from students in provincial universities. So the zone 2 Londoners of the future.

#10 looks frigheningly like he is going to take a bite out of the viewer in that pic.  ;)

That sounds like a dream come true, but we should not deviate from the two party system.

I am just going to go out on a limb here Mono and suggest that the Whigs are not a threat to the major parties of the UK. And the UK does not really have a two party system. Hell in Scotland it seems to almost have a one party system.
