Subject: RE: BS: Pirate Party of Canada
I'm waiting for the "None Of The Above" Party to form and run a national slate of prospective NOTA candidates. I feel sure that they would do well...perhaps even form a new government. ;-D

Their elected members could be chosen by lot in each riding from amongst the populace following the election.

Necessary qualifications:

1. Must not be a lawyer or a CEO.
2. Must not have earned more than $150,000 or less than a poverty-level income in the past fiscal year.
3. Must not be in jail or charged with a criminal offence.
4. Must be willing to serve public faithfully in said office for one term.
5. 50% of those selected must be males and 50% must be females, so as to accurately represent the populace who elected them and achieve a balanced perspective in government. (If there are an odd number of them serving, resolve the gender of the last one with the toss of a coin.)

;-D

I honestly feel that this would result in a better and more honest political system than the one we have at present. We would, in effect, be electing mice for a change instead of cats!!! (see famous Tommy Douglas "Mouseland" speech about that on Youtube)
