I didn't know they had Anglicans in France.

Yep! I thought you guys might like a laugh. Their beliefs are pretty extreme. End manditory voting, end foreign investment, etc...

Door to door is fine, I have no problem with it, what I have a problem with is forcing people to listen to your views when they don't want to. That's what the internet's for!

Even Jehovah Witnesses aren't pushy compared with these guys. I know a bloke who targets JW's - if he sees them in public, he get out his KJV Bible and go at it with them (the KJV is the only translation of the Bible besides the NWT the JW's are allowed to read).

The French have a word for that. Votre ami est fou.

Maintenant, va te faire fou/tre!

People who trap you in place are the real annoying buggers. A Mormon talked with me for 10 minutes once while I was stuck waiting for the bus. I suppose he was feeling persistent. Even though I was saying repeatedly that I don't believe in God at all in different ways. Did he think irritating me while I couldn't leave was going to convince me of anything?

Wanting to end mandatory voting is extreme? (not that a lot of their other stuff doesnt seem to be extreme)

Fellow Aussie =P
Never heard of those guys before.
Their policies seem all over the shop, does not look like a greens offshoot. Global warming is a hoax, wage a REAL war on drugs, nationalise all natural resources...

To me it's as extreme as wanting to abolish juries in all courts. Look how much money the yanks have to spend and the show they need to put on just to get people to the pooling booths. Setting up optional voting results in those who can afford to spend the most on their political campaign being the most likely to win their campaign (just like the yanks).

In Australia, what do you do when there is no party you want to vote for? Can you just hand in an empty ballot?
