I absolutely adore the Silly candidates. Such lovers of life! Politics shouldn't be taken too seriously. And politicians shouldn't take them too seriously. There was a famous poet here in Finland (he's now deceased) who was asked to be an election candidate for the Social Democrat Party. He was to give the party his final decision on candidacy by the next morning at 10AM. Next morning at 9:55 his friend, a famous author himself who later talked about this, called the poet, and asked if has he already made the decision. What decision?, asked the poet, confused.

We've had 14 years of a silly, and rather naughty, political party, often called, amongst other things, the Tory Party. The Monster Raving Looney Party, in their 2024 manifesto, came up with something rather sensible... any politician found misbehaving would be sent to Rwanda. Monty Python was ahead of it's time. Sensible parties are now silly, and silly parties are now sensible.

Actually as a Brit I can say that, if one replaced the sensible party with the very silly party, it would be like the modern Labour vs Tory Party: One party is obviously insane and incompetent, the other is also obviously insane and incompetent. Whoever hides it better wins the election unless there's a referendum on, in which case the opposite occurs. American politics are more like The Batshit Insane Party who believes that Muslims cause cancer vs The Rich Arseholes Party Who think that basic human decency is communist. Which party is which is determined by how many people with any sense don't bother to vote at all/ whoever screams the loudest. Basically, the way our votes don't matter is different from the way your votes don't matter.
