The best political advertisement to date!

In Australia, we have compulsory voting... which I personally do agree with, it tends to mean that the parties are generally competing for the political centre instead of pandering to their base.... and before anyone drops in with a statement of infringement of personal liberty... you are only required to show up at the polling booth and pick up your papers (not an ordeal at once every 3/4 years, in return for the benefits of society....). After that, you are free to do whatever you want... eat the papers, throw them in the toilet, draw pictures... or maybe even cast a ballot....

Anyway, I wish it was also coupled with the representational voting that I see here in The Netherlands, as that would mean that we wouldn't have such a concentration of power in the lower house between the two major parties. The Senate is more diverse... for better of worse, but at least acts as a balance of sorts. That said, the preferential system that we do have does ensure that you can vote for smaller parties and independents without the "throwing away your vote" aspect in first past the post methods.

However, it is still difficult for Independents to gather the attention of the general population... which can lead to some novel ways of trying to get noticed. This election season has seen this candidate emerge with a pretty interesting... and frankly, the most entertaining... election advertisement that I've seen!
