It's a trip!: Why not <a href="http://www.algroup.co.uk/wpb/rainbowpress1.htm" target=

06 May 2005

This woman did in yesterday's UK General Election, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, earned a total of ONE vote.

Apparently the Vote For Yourself Rainbow Dream party supported several candidates for Parliament--none of whom won. Their philsophy? As taken from their manifesto:

"In the days when news of a French landing in Dover took 3 days to reach Birmingham, the election of representatives made some sense. But today's informational technology empowers everyone to hear the news simultaneously. We no longer need anyone to represent and do our thinking for us.

We say: Don't NOT Vote. VOTE FOR YOURSELF; VOTE Rainbow Party to remove a whole tier of government - the entire Political Class!! Power to the People!"

Ummm....sure. Do we all get free acid too?
