Absolutely Absurd Party

The Absolutely Absurd Party is a new Canadian political party, which attempts to carry on the tradition of political satire most famously represented by the Rhinoceros Party of Canada. They appear not to be as funny as them, however.
The new party advocates many policies that are seen by many as jokes, including:
- Reducing the legal voting age to 14. "When was the last time a 14 yr old started a war?" [1] (http://www.absolutelyabsurdparty.ca/policy.html)
- In federal elections, the individual in dead last becomes the elected official, rather than the one with the most votes.
- "Streamline the Department of Defense by replacing the Department with a crack, elite squad of Rock/Paper/Scissors commandos." [2] (http://www.absolutelyabsurdparty.ca/policy.html)
The party points out satire in government, and is semi-anarchistic, although they claim to promote a form of direct democracy.[3] (http://www.absolutelyabsurdparty.ca/direct.html) Proposed laws of the Absolutely Absurd Party appear to support activities such as drinking, recreational drug use, and recreational sex.
