AUSTRIAN “BEER PARTY” SURGES AHEAD IN POLITICAL POLLS

A political party in Vienna, Austria, that started as a joke is now surging in the polls after coming up with a new strategy. The Beer Party is promising a monthly barrel of beer to each household in the city. Because of this, the “Beer Party” is currently polling at 12%, faring better than the candidates. Among their other promises:
– Getting rid of taxes for beer served at bars.
– Eliminate bar closing times.
– Allow people to turn in “Radlers” – a 50:50 concoction of beer and lemon soda – in exchange for “real beer.”
– Replacing the city’s iconic Hochstrahlbrunnen fountain with one that spouts booze.
If the state’s elections were held today, the Beer Party would be on track to pick up city council seats.
* Their slogan should be “The Beer Party – we’ve got a good head on our shoulders, and on our mugs.”
* Or, “First the convention, then the election, then the intervention.”
* Guess what the Beer Party will throw if it wins. C’mon – guess.
* Now this, my friends, is how you steal an election.
