If you think the South African electorate needs some introspection and political education, take comfort in the fact that the European Parliament also has to deal with elected jokers. Fidias Panayiotou, who describes himself as a "professional mistake maker", has been elected as an independent MEP to the European Parliament.
Appearing on Cypriot TV, Alpha Cyprus - where he wore trainers, shorts, a suit jacket and three neckties - he admitted that he had never voted and knew little about politics and the EU, but that he could no longer stand the continued rule of "nerds" in Brussels. Panayiotou admitted his candidacy was never serious, but that he wanted to motivate young people to get involved in politics.
