Who do you want: Elizabeth May or Charlie Sheen?

NOT WINNING!

Well.

Elizabeth May is sad.

I seems the powers that be won't invite her to the big people's table for the leaders debate.

So, like a proper progressive, rather than work to establish some modicum of support by the electorate and have, oh, maybe ONE elected representative in Parliament from her party, she's going to Court to ask her fellow progressives on the bench to let her sit with the adults.

And the Globe and Mail is behind her, apparently, publishing one of their polls suggesting "most Canadians want Elizabeth May at the leaders' debate."

Sure.

Why not?

The election is boring.  The majority of Canadians didn't want an election, and are, rightly, offended that the opposition ankle-biters have foisted one upon us for reasons that don't exactly resonate - the issue of "trust" and "respect for Parliament".

Problem is, of the three major leaders, the grand pooba leading who lead the charge leading to the non-confidence vote, Michael Igantieff, is the least trusted of all the leaders.. with a paltry 44.2 on the "Nanos Leadership Index" compared to 102.1 for Stephen Harper.

Thus, the election is hardly capturing the attention and interest of most Canadians.

So why not invite a clown to the debate to liven things up.  I mean, what can it hurt?  It's not like she has any legitimate chance at all of forming government.  Of course, by that barometer, we would, by definition have to exclude Gilles Duceppe (why don't we?)

But here's the thing.

Why limit our choices to Elizabeth May?  Nik Nanos, I would like to see a broader poll..  giving us a few choices of who to invite to what will otherwise be the least exciting thing on television (with the exception of CBC of course).

Why not, say.. Charlie Sheen?  After all, while Elizabeth May is surely losing, but according to Charlie, he's #Winning!

If the debate seems like it's too much of a sausage-fest, well, perhaps we should have a choice of another woman - Lady Gaga seems very popular these days - probably more saleable as Prime Minister than Elizabeth May.

As Nik Nanos is unlikely to give us these choices, as your self-anointed leader of liberty, yours truly, will give you that same choice - so take a second to answer my poll up on he right - and tell us, who would YOU like to see in the leaders' debate?  And then we can send those results to the Globe and ask them to publish who Canadians REALLY want in the leadership debate.

P.S.: FYI - to help you make your choice in our poll, the current Twitter Stats for our Candidates are as follows:

Charlie Sheen:   3,449,278 followers.
Lady Gaga:        9,226,298 followers.
Elizabeth May:   17,550 followers.
