Actually his policies are measurable and quite do-able. I look forward to having him as part of the UK government. If a comedian can fight and pretty much win a war against the Russian Federation, then another should be able to manage being a local representative.
We as a nation should take notice of this phenomenon, as comedy/mockery is the one weapon a dictator simply cannot counter without adding to his/her problems.

My fave quip in parliament
Some politician stands up to give a speech, starts with
“I’m a Country member” ( as in the Country Party )
Fred Daly of the ALP yells out “I remember”
Paul Keating used to torment John Howard with jokes all the time. Howard would get so angry he would be ejected by the Speaker
