Yoda's Alternative Party

Vote for him, you must

As the Ontario Election campaign heats up, a new party, which has until now been biding it's time in the background, is suddenly coming forward to announce that indeed, Yoda himself IS vying for the leadership of the province. The Yoda Alternative Party (YAP) has gained immediate popularity: a full 75% of people said they would vote for Yoda this June 3rd, in a recent poll taken outside movie theatres in downtown Toronto. (Another 8% were for Liberal, 7% for PCs, 3% for the NDP and the others, when pressed, simply stated "let the wookie win".)

YAP promises tax cuts that will not affect provincial debt, more gun and lightsabre control, and better education for the youth with added emphasis on basic grammar skills. Asked why he was running, Yoda stated, "Strong leadership you need, yes? Into the next millenium your premier governs, hmmmm? Seeing Death Star, dyslexic Jedi utters Rats, perhaps? Much you must learn..."

The other parties are preparing to counter this new arrival with their usual tactics. They will claim that YAP does not care enough about housing conditions, associates with people whose families have a history of planetary destruction, and also that their mysterious guiding 'Force' is nothing but mass times acceleration. Premier Harris had this additional comment to make: "Would you really want to vote for anyone who had worked as an editor for mathNEWS?"
