As Ukraine Votes, Darth Vader Is Denied

Darth Alekseyevich Vader, a former electrician and official candidate in Ukraine's parliamentary elections, has promised to turn Ukraine into a "galactic empire." However, it appears the dream of galactic uberlordship is ending as a Kiev polling station has denied his ability to cote after he refused to remove his mask. As The Telegraph reports, he left the polling station unable to vote but promising that it did not mean his "empire will not win."

 

 

As The Telegraph reports,

A candidate in Ukraine's parliamentary elections, who changed his name to Darth Vader, tried to cast his vote at a Kiev polling station on Sunday, but left disappointed.

 

 

Darth Alekseyevich Vader, a former electrician, has promised to turn Ukraine into a "galactic empire".

 

Despite his pledge to enhance transparency, he declines to show his face in public – which proved a problem for election officials.

 

Upon arrival at the polling station, Vader refused to remove his mask, which led to a row with the officer who was handing out the ballot papers.

 

"Here is my face on the passport. Where does the law say that I have to take off my mask?" he insisted, but his pleas fell on deaf ears.

 

 

He left the polling station unable to vote but promising that it did not mean his "empire will not win."

 

Meanwhile, Ukraine's prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk called the vote the "first tremendous and crucial step" to make Ukrainian politics more clear and accountable as he voted with his family.

 

Ex-Boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kiev and Petro Poroshenko bloc candidate, also cast his ballot alongside his wife in another polling station in the capital.

 

He welcomed the idea of a "total reset of the parliament."

As Alec Guinnes may have said, "there are not the election results you are looking for."

It matters not who votes but who counts.
Democracy Kiev style is somehow OK but the west has a problem when the people in the east assert their democratic rights.
The problem with democracy is that it is a victim of those who seek to abuse it for their own ends rather than the common good.

If voting in the Ukraine  mattered, it would be prohibited.

The USSA has rigged the game in favor of their Kiev puppets.  Most Ukies have nothing to look forward to other than higher taxes, lower incomes and greater oppression, raped by the IMF/Banksters/Oligarchs asset strippers.

BTW, Darth Vader is a farce created to distract the voters from the awful quality of the so called legitimate political appointees.

I don't believe that was really Darth Vader.  If he really was Lord Vader then he could have easily choked her out using The Force and then Jedi mind-fucked them all to allow him to vote.

I think that was just some guy in a Darth Vader costume.

Yeah, no shit.  Whip out the light saber, hack everyone to pieces...get some piece of paper put in your robot hand, stare blankly at it and ask "wtf is this?"

As they quail in fear before and exclaim "your vote Lord Vader! Your vote!" scribble some LV next to a bunch of meaningless names and Lord around to see if anyone wants your autograph.

This guy clearly is an imposter

Only two types of people vote: Those ignorant of the scam or those in on the scam.

Only two types of people own guns: Those that are part of the scam, and those against the scam.

Only two types of people don't own guns: Children and those ignorant of the scam.

Vader 2016

because if your country is going to be ruled tyrant it might as well at least be a bad ass dark side sith tyrant.

also if you don't vote for him he will "find your lack of faith disturbing", personally show up at your door and force choke the shit out of you in your own living room.

then after he has "re-educated" congress...with his lightsaber...he will set America on the path to true greatness and instant 100% full employment by begining construction on the first death star. this death star, once complete will carry freedom, democracy, peace and prosparity to all corners of the earth and beyond.

stupid Ukrainian's, they just blew there only chance to make something of themselves and there country...

This is what happens when Americans get themselves exceptional in a country. 

Democracy goes to the bag, appear Nazis, Islamic extremists, suicide bombers etc. . 

A lot of innocent people die. 

The so-called "Democracy" and shoved down our throats thing Demo - Demon. 

Democracy needs to flow naturally, a lot of lead and gunpowder, some Banksters hanging rope, others beheaded with the guillotine, some pastors and priests hanged in the guts of Kings - or rulers. 

Voltaire was sublime explaining how these things happen .... 

hehe.

If he would sneak in across the Mexican border he can show up anywhere with no ID and vote as many times as he wants no questions asked

But he probably still can't wear the mask. There are laws against that in America
