In your city, town, state or wherever have you ever seen a weird election candidate? For example they want to be mayor or whatever.

In New Zealand someone wants to be a mayor in a city and he dresses up as a clown called Pennywize. The actual clown is running for mayor 😂

Obviously he won't get chosen but that's just really bizarre.
 
Lol I've never seen any politician here dress up like a clown to get votes. It definitely gets people talking but I don't think it would help their campaign lol.

There's a certain person in a politician position over in the States that looks like Garfield though 😂

I would vote Binface just for the costume!
 
Indeed, it's practically a national tradition 😛 .

There's also the Monster Raving Loony Party, with policies like "Replace the Foreign Secretary with a British one", and "Introduce a 99p coin to save on change"!
