BYO.

No, I mean how hard would it be to start a single issue political party and get someone elected?

Is there enough motorcyclists?

As long as we keep DMNTD in as Treasurer, and SpankMe as Foreign Affairs.

I guess I could move my vote from the Greens to the motorcycle party.

Sorry, dude, my vote's going to the ALCP.

Try lobbying the sober bikers.

It's not so much about getting elected, it's more about getting your deposit back!

Worse still: If you don't make a big enough impression you wont even get your message across and will lose your deposit too!

Good question though, are there enough motorcyclists to make a political impact?
