:Fwd: POLITICS EXPLAINED

THIS IS A NON  PARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY All PARTIES!
NOT ONLY THAT-- it is  POLITICALLY CORRECT!!  
 
While walking down the street  one day a "Member of Parliament" is 
tragically hit by a truck and  dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the  entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.
 
 
 
'Before you settle in,   it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high 
official around these parts,  you see, so we're not sure what to do with 
you.'

'No problem, just let me  in,' says the man.

'Well, I'd like to, but I  have orders from  higher up. What we'll do is 
have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven.  Then you can choose where 
to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my  mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.

'I'm sorry, but we have our  rules.'

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes  down, 
down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a  
green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of  it  
are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with  him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him,  shake 
his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich  at 
the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then  dine on lobster, caviar and 
champagne.

Also present is the devil, who  really is a very friendly & nice guy who 
has a good time dancing and telling  jokes. They are having such a good time 
that before he realizes it, it is time  to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator  rises....

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven  where St. 
Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit  heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group  of contented  souls moving 
from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.  They have  a good time 
and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by  and St.  Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and  another  in heaven. Now choose 
your eternity.'

The MP reflects for a minute, then  he answers: 'Well, I would never have 
said it  before, I mean heaven has  been delightful, but  I think I would be 
better off in hell.'

So St.  Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to  
hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a  barren land 
covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends,  dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting 
it in black bags as more trash  falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around  his  shoulder. ' I 
don't understand,'  stammers the MP.
 
 
 
'Yesterday I was here and  there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we 
ate lobster and caviar, drank  champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now 
there's just a wasteland full of  garbage and my friends look miserable.
 
 
 

 
 

 
 

What happened?  '

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were  
campaigning..... 

Today you voted.
