How to make yourself even more unelectable than you already are

It isn’t an easy job to further reduce the election chances of the Halton Family Coalition candidate but, with a few well-chose words, Tony Rodrigues proved himself up to the daunting task.

Family Coalition candidate Tony Rodrigues got the panel off to a unique start stating he does not believe in climate change, but feels the severe weather irregularities around the globe are due to a large dam in China is [sic] tilting the earth off its axis.

The dam does have the potential for increasing the length of day by 0.06 microseconds – around the same length of time Rodrigues spent pondering his environmental platform – but earthquakes have a far greater effect on the earth’s rotational speed.
