We had a comedian run for the danish parliament a few years back on a platform of: 1 - Nutella in army rations 2 - Constant tailwind in bike lanes 3 - No sex in the teacher's lounge 4 - Bigger christmas gifts for everybody 5 -... Well, you get it. 😂 There were about 100 points like that. His party was called The Deliberately Workshy (it was only him). AND WE VOTED HIM IN JUST TO PISS OFF THE REST OF THE STUFFY PARLIAMENT!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 (He actually got the Nutella 😜)

@@ezelfrancisco1349 To be honest he never expected to get in and was a little bewildered. 😂 But he actually took it seriously and turned out to be a pretty good politician. For his noob speach (a tradition) he pointed out that he didn't know anything about advanced economic models but if they wanted to know more about the common man's struggles of daily life, substance abuse (he was a recovered alcoholic) etc. he'd be happy to teach them. That's the mindset he used for his decisions and tbh I would've voted for him again if he had decided to run a second time.

Actually poverty and pets have a strong correlation. Poor people are often criticised for having pets, renters are denied the option to keep pets and yes if a pet is ill it is often put down as poor people can not afford the pet bills. Actually makes sense to highlight it if she grew up poor as it would resonate with the poorer elements of the electorate.

@@peacefulleopard8016 Before the Internet, there were really very few options. I have worked with poor constituents before, whose pets fell very very ill and treatment cost tens / hundreds of thousands of pounds (remember, animals don't get treatment on the NHS). Charities (especially in the Tories' age of austerity) have very limited capacities for pets with long-term illness. Neighbours (just as poor as you) can't afford to take on your cat, and rich people don't want a mangy old pet. Of course things are better now with the Internet.

He is very funny doing standup. The irony is that he makes me laugh and no longer has a TV show and others have a TV show and are unable to make me even chuckle once.
