Although I have thought about running from time to time, my logical chances of winning are about as good as Elizabeth May's chances of winning the Miss Canada Pagent.
One... I'm only 28 years old, and the other parties would roll all over that, claiming I am not experienced enough for one reason or another.
Two.... unless you lived in my area that I was running (under the current system) you couldn't really vote for me and would only be able to vote for an independant in your area.
Three..... the other parties would have a field trip on all the comments and posts I have been making since 1998 on the internet. All they would need to do is dig up a few of my comments and brand me some crazy terrorist and that'd be the end of that.
Four..... unless there is some practical method of changing this government into a fair and balanced competition for anybody and everybody who enters, I see no reason why I should join into a corrupt system of government that doesn't work and play by the same rules that already don't work that only benifit a select few.
I supposed I could flaunt my Canadian-Style-Chavez Attitude and might gain some attention and support for changing things for the better, however I'd probably have to fight tooth and nail for another 20 years before I am taken seriously and actually get into a position where I could actually do something good.
That's why I was leaning towards a very large and detailed petition or formed organization to actually take the Canadian voice to the Gov. General or to the actual Crown to get things adjusted in a way where I or someone better can have a fighting chance to do something right for a change. Once that is done, then I might actually have some desire to put up a political fight for change.
As it stands now, me entering would be about as logical as some Star Trek nerd attacking a bunch of Ghetto Gangsters with a newspaper...... *pow pow* that's the end of that.
