How do they prevent having a thousand candidates for each office Sody You give us far too much credit, Steve. I am deeply appreciative of the way the English treat their politicians. I guess most everyone on this list is educated enough to know that most anyone can get government financing to run for parliament in England and there are all sorts of bizarre characters and parties that run and put forth candidates. Margaret Thatcher had to run in her district with a fellow that wanted the government to furnish a landing pad for arriving aliens and dressed in a costume that looked like Herblock's talking bombs. I only wish I could have seen the "Iron Lady" in debate with this candidate and standing for photo opportunities with him. I bet her stiff upper lip trembled at times. OTOH this former English colony really takes idiot politicians seriously. You would think we would have learned something from you.
