This election has been a bit of a disappointment for everyone. Instead of a grand battle of policy and ideals, weve had two old men nobody likes tussling to be the very slightly lesser evil. The popularity of both parties is abysmal, and in the absence of anything real to offer, theyve spent the election scrambling for whatever advantage they can get, no matter how cheap or contradictory to their supposed principles. Rudds become Globocop, stopper of boats, while Abbotts been playing the role of feminist-in-residence. Frankly, that doesnt work for anyone.
And if the major parties are desperate, imagine how desperate the minor parties must be.
But theres desperate, and then theres Desperate Enough To Accept Hitler As A Volunteer. I decided to find out who, if anyone, fit into the latter category. My challenge was simple: find a party so desperate for volunteers that theyd accept someone as repugnant as Adolf Hitler as a volunteer.
