词条 | Non-human electoral candidates |
释义 |
Non-human electoral candidates have been found in a number of countries. Often, the candidacies are a means of casting a protest vote or satirizing the political system. Other times it is simply done for entertainment value. Electoral regulations may explicitly require candidates to be human (or equivalent wording), or may require candidates to do things which animals cannot reasonably do (such as sign their name legibly on a legal form); most constituencies require candidates to be of the age of a legal adult, which eliminates many animals whose life expectancy is usually too short to ever qualify. On some occasions, however, animals have been accepted as candidates, and have even won office. Notable examplesElected to office
Other examples
Folklore and pop cultureThe notion of animals being elected to office has often been the subject of parody and folklore. In 1817 Thomas Love Peacock's novel Melincourt featured an orangutan as a parliamentary candidate. In 1951 cartoon Ballot Box Bunny, Bugs Bunny ran for the office of mayor against Yosemite Sam. Both lost to a "dark horse candidate": a mare. In 1972, American singer Tom T. Hall had a hit with a recording entitled "The Monkey That Became President" which considered a scenario in which said animal was elected to office. In 1976, Marvel Comics announced that their character Howard the Duck would run in that year's election for the U.S. presidency.[53] The Black Mirror episode "The Waldo Moment" explores the concept of a cartoon character electoral candidate. Several news reports, including one by Chris Cillizza, political reporter for The Washington Post, compared the 2016 Donald Trump political campaign to the episode;[54][55] later, in September 2016, episode writer Charlie Brooker also compared the Trump campaign to The Waldo Moment and predicted Trump would win the 2016 election.[56][57] The nerd-folk song "President Snakes" from the 2015 album of the same name by the music duo The Doubleclicks explores how five snakes run as one electoral candidate.[58][59][60][61][62][63] Rita Mae Brown detective cat Mrs Murphy ran for President in "Sneakie Pie for President" See also
