Gaffe-prone politician quits Australia election

[Tero]

I'm never going to visit Islam. We would have to rent a car and Islam does not let women drive. I panic driving in foreign land. And how would you drive in a burka anyway?

[pErvinalia]

I saw my first Burqinis today at a water park.

Maybe politicians ought to have to pass some kind of exam?

They already do have to. If they don't get a pass mark in an election they fail to get into office.

"We get the government we deserve."

Doesn't mean squat(1), the second line is correct because the examination body is apt to be even more of a bunch of morons than the examinees(2).

(1) Unfortunately, that's the best we have, except (2) if we work on that. Better education, etc. Perhaps more grass roots activism in that direction.

The irony of all this is that the leader and creator of the One Nation Party, Pauline Hanson, was even less literate and knowledgeable than this clown when she first started. This candidate is basically Hanson 2.0.

Do you remember what Hanson said first time around about how she would deal with government expenditure?
She was just gonna print more money.
True. I kid you not.

If she suggested "quantitative easing" instead, she'd probably have been considered a genius.

After all, you wouldn't want your heart surgeon holding up your spleen, and saying " is this a heart ? "

I'd have voters taking an exam, never mind candidates.

Hey, that's basically what the U.S. is doing.

[pErvinalia]

Yeah, I was going to mention that. She'd be leader of the worlds economies if she said that now.

Now dont encourage her
She buggered off to the UK for a bit. Vowed she'd never come back. Guss things didn't go to plan for her.

[Svartalf]

Maybe she'll go high in the UKIP?.

[klr]

Maybe she'll go high in the UKIP?.

That's assuming they'd let a bloody foreigner in.

Well if nobody mentions it! Shhhhh. I still
Don't think it's fair. They took her once, shouldn't be allowed to give her back.

We have a few politicians here in Ireland that we'd like to exchange ...

[Svartalf]

Send'em here... our parliament will get enormously more interesting if the deputies and senators are speaking in English, or better, Irish.

Irish politicians have been known to speak in Irish occasionally, so that no-one will understand them, even though it's still an official language of record.

Fuck we've got a whole shipping container full at least. Maybe my people should speak to your people, and they could all go to, I dunno, New Zealand maybe?

You understand muppet? Cos that's what most of ours speak.
