Not that there was ever much of a chance in the first place, but this seals the deal for me. I became aware today that I am quite familiar with someone who has won a nomination to run as one of their MP candidates. I had the extreme displeasure of coming into contact with this person, who is, in my admittedly unprofessional opinion, insane. Not “wacky” insane; not “kind of off the wall” insane; but rather gibbering, out-of-touch-with-reality insane.

Now, it’s not just that I deeply dislike this person (though I do), but I have tremendous difficulty understanding how any political party short of the Natural Law Party could actually let someone who is demonstrably incapable of normal human interaction represent them. Well, maybe the Marijuana Party, but they at least would have the excuse of being stoned.

I understand that the Greens had a very hard time finding candidates, and so pretty much accepted anyone who showed up. But no matter how respectable they may become in the future, I’ll always and forever think of them as the party that ran as a candidate someone who even the Commies probably would have turned away.
