My father gave me one piece of political advice: "Politicians are like underwear - to keep them clean, you need to change them often!"
I grew up as a foreigner in Brazil, where voting was mandatory for all adults. Consequently, write-in candidates often won elections. One municipal election had the rhinoceros in the local zoo winning, another had a celebrity parrot (who only spoke profanity) garnering the most votes. Of course, the next-highest human candidate actually got the open position.
Too bad...
