That would be the fatal flaw in democracy where one can only vote for
the candidates on offer?

Given 6 billion potential candidates to choose from, for the world's
most important position, the winner was chosen on the colour of his
pet pig's lipstick.

In a nationwide TV broadcast the losing candidate admitted his wife's
choice of jogging socks had completely wrecked his chances of becoming
the next US President. But that he had already forgiven her. She is
expected to leave the exclusive Cuban clinic after a few months of
intensive water therapy. He said that she had almost regained her
confidence in clothes designers and was expected to replace her entire
wardrobe by the next election.
