Because apparently having your own talk show for starting a thing on the internet isn’t enough, recent polling of Australia’s Labor Party suggests that the Wikileaks founder is reasonably likely to get elected to the Australian senate, should he choose to go ahead with plans to run.
And I mean he’s already got a rape case on his back, so he’s ahead of the game next to most politicians.
The poll suggests that Assange could garner up to 25% of the vote, from both labour and conservative supporters. I mean sure, it would hard to be Senator Assange from house arrest, but he manages to run a talk show from there reasonably well. And record voice work for The Simpsons.
Agence France-Presse is reporting that Wikileaks, as an organization, is preparing to endorse a candidate against Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard in the 2013.
Assuming Assange doesn’t get extradited to Sweden for sexual molestation, it might not be too great a stretch to guess that he’s the candidate in question.
