Australia launches Anti-Islam Party

[Esquilax]

Way to take the pressure off American absurdity, even for a moment.  You're a real pal, Oz.  Thanks.  

Ridiculous political parties built solely on the back of racist sentiment aren't a new thing to Australia. Once upon a time it was "the Asians," which... I mean... Jeez. You'd think people would learn a little something from the One Nation party, which to my knowledge never got any power outside of state politics, but hey.

You'd also think they'd know there's already a party they could join if all they want is to stir up racial prejudices and fear of immigrants: the Liberals Party has been about that for years.
