Guatemalan comedian wins presidency in landslide

Former TV comedian Jimmy Morales, who has no experience in government, won Guatemala’s presidential election in a landslide on Sunday after a corruption scandal toppled the last president and stoked outrage with the political establishment.

The headquarters of Morales’ National Convergence Front (FCN) party erupted in a celebration with live music and dozens of early revellers.

And that is different from Canada and the US or any other country how? Pat Paulson, from the Smothers Brothers Show, quit the presidential race back in the 60s because there was a good chance he might win.

I sometimes think you believe the BS you write....
It was a joke, a publicity stunt that ran for six elections

Patrick Layton "Pat" Paulsen

(July 6, 1927 – April 24, 1997) was an American comedian and satirist notable for his roles on several of the Smothers Brothers TV shows, and for his campaigns for President of the United States in 1968, 1972, 1980, 1988, 1992, and 1996, which had primarily comedic rather than political objectives, although his campaigns generated some protest votes for him.
