      Don’t be mean to Rick Astley like that! Rick looks nothing like that bargain bin ken doll with several minutes of amateur photoshop applied to it from the article.

    If they did put in fake candidates then this is massive electoral fraud and there needs to be crippling fines and jail time for their leadership.

    On a side note, why the hell do we have to have ID to vote, but to stand you clearly don’t need to prove you even exist with ID?

    The guy claims he altered the image to change his tie, as if that’s the problem with the image. The guy’s suit is made of leather, there’s a deformity by his right ear, his hair is wood texture, his eyes are different colours, his lips are too small and too bright, his shirt has been blurred smooth… I could go on, but it’s honestly kinda gross to look at that picture for too long.

    they might have changed a little more than his tie colour. Here’s a side by side picture from an interview: side by side picture of the actual candidate
