Video of the Week
The Banana Republican Vote No Song
With the very real prospect of neither major party gaining a majority in the upcoming election we may well be in for a bout of 'negative politics' from whichever party is on the losing side! This clever, but frighteningly perspective song by The Parody Project serves as a reminder as to what we have to look forward to!
