Sex Party Enters Aussie Political Fray

Sex Party gains official recognition

Share

(Newser) – Australia’s “Sex Party” has been certified as a political party after receiving approval from the Electoral Commission, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The commission’s approval is a victory for free speech and “democratic rights,” says the Sex Party’s convenor. The party hopes to “provide a positive platform for sexual issues amongst the negative notions of sex that most politicians and political parties have," she adds.

@ Paul, Wraith had it correct, the Republican leadership crashed the ecconomy badly and it took Democrats to pull us out the fire, ever so slowly at least it is begining to get better...Then again some don't mind that GW killed a few hundred thousand for no reason and squandered the surplus we had from the Clinton Administration....go figure
