Do you have the oratory skills necessary to become a politician?

Yes

Have you taken any part in your school's forensics club/team?

What's a forensics team? Huh

Can you CONNECT with voters of all ages, and not just those of your political ideology?

Yes

If you are an extremeist, can you play yourself off as a moderate?

I'm not an extremist. But if I was I could Wink

Why should you get the job when there's probably someone more qualified than you also running?

Because he/she is a carpetbagger and a puppet of big busines/the establishment/The Enemy

Situation for all you future politicians: You haven't been able to bring in any money into your district -- the polls show a close race, and someone offers you a big boost for whatever your district/area/whatever needs -- however, you have to vote X on issue Y, despite your objection.

What do you do? Get re-elected, compromise a little ethics? Much easier said than done, especially in a career as vicious as politics.

Hmm... I'd conduct a vicious smear campaign against my oppenent... (ala the "babies" campaign)... hmm... then I'd get a bit of pork-barreling done I suppose... dunno 'bout compromising ethics though... Maybe a wee bit of ballot stuffing?

I'd love to be an MP, MPP, PM or Primier. Sadly the NDP will likely never win Federally, Sad so I'll have to stick to being a MP.

Here's a tip: move to Winnepeg or Halifax Wink
