Eugh. Just got canvassed by Sinn Fein for upcoming election. With them helpfully pointing out that since the SDLP aren't standing here, it's between them and the DUP. What a choice...

I feel dirty :/

Time to start your own party!

Alternatively, ask yourself which one is moister.

Staring your own party is the only conceivable solution then.

What would it's aims be? Would they involve pies or mounties?

Mounties. Definitely mounties ;) For ALL!

Hmmm... are there enough mounties to share?

They look excellent! The closest we ever had to that was The Natural Law Party (http://www.natural-law-party.org.uk/index1.htm) but I think they were actually serious.
Sadly the Monster Raving Loony Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Monster_Raving_Loony_Party) don't stand here :/

The Donald Duck party generally get about 1% of all votes cast in any governmental election in Sweden. It doesn't exist of course but it still manages fairly well :P

And they call this democracy. :\ I don't usually approve of the 'spoil the ballot paper' option but in this case I'd make an exception.

I was actually considering that last night for the first time ever. No idea who else is standing yet tho - the shinners seem to be getting in early, so there may be SOME other choice. I hope.

Stand as an independent - 'SAve our Weevils' could be your slogan

You could tie neeps to your mugabes and all.

I wonder how that would go down round here...

But seriously, I really REALLY hope someone else is standing. ANYONE else.
