Ever wondered who'd make for a great local leader? Ever think to look at your neighbor's pet? Because that's what a lot of people across the world have done when faced with corruption, to make a point, or if your from America like I am, cause "it'd be funny." The point is there are a ton of stories from around the world about crazy electoral candidates, and right here, I cover 6 of them (technically 7, but you'll have to listen to understand).  In honor of our 500 listener milestone, this episode also comes with a chance for you to win some brand spanking new Fast Facts merch, but again you'll have to listen to find out how (hint: the contest is at the end, but you wouldn't want to miss out on all the other neat stuff would you?). That's it, stop reading you goof, and start listening as you came here to do.
