Left Coast Canadian Politics - Listen Up Ottawa

Oh boy..., you just have to know that British Columbia Politics is poised for some overdue legitimacy when the Sex Party registers with Elections BC. Now I'm not sure if the Sex Party has some kind of a working relationship with the Work Less Party or whether they are an independent effort directed at a similar demographic of the British Columbian voting population. Then there's the Marijuana Party of BC, the Party of Citizens, and the Citizens Action Party. Not to mention the Platinum Party, the Western Refederation Party and Your Political Party of British Columbia. Some of these are focused on a pretty narrow segment of the population don't you think? What about the Western Canada Concept Party? Talk about narrow!

So I just have to wonder, "are any of these parties aware of the others?" Don't you think the Work Less Party should hook up with the Marijuana Party of BC? That should set them up to 'smoke' any candidates fielded against them in their respective constituencies. Motivating themselves to get out there and do some campaigning could be a bit of a problem. I would suspect the Marijuana Party of BC would be fairly well financed and wouldn't have to resort to tactics made infamous by the Liberal Party of Canada. Of course we can't leave out the Freedom Party can we? What would sex and less work and smoking weed be without a splash of freedom to wash it down. And what would Left Coast Politics be without some sort of "we're outta here party"? Cast a vote for the Annexation Party of British Columbia and forget about having to head south for the winter cause you'ld already be there. It's a Zen thing - wherever you go, there you are - or maybe it's a ZigZag thing - where the heck are we now?

I suppose what's really scary is that every one of these parties are quite serious about getting a candidate elected in the next British Columbia Provincial Election. Scarier yet, one of them may just get elected. Scarierier, I'm tempted to head over to BC and start my own party, the Anarchy or Nothing Party or maybe even the the Party Party. Scarierest, I think I could win!

Anyhow..., I think the Sex Party just might be onto something here. For one thing they're essentially growing their own votes, much like the Marijuana Party of BC and they may even get a few favours tossed their way in the form of gratuitous sex. Scandalous stuff that sells books and allows one to rest out their final years on some lazy little island in the Caribbean. Yup..., If I were a Left Coaster I'ld be trying to nail down that Sex Party bagman position.

Check back regularly, no telling what little nugget of gnarled knowledge or whimsical wisdom you're going to unearth here but it could be a 'nothing nugget', the anarchy of it all.
