Darth Vader Runs For President of Ukraine

First time accepted submitter neuroscroll (579178) writes "An unorthodox candidate presented himself for the future early presidential elections in Ukraine: the Darth Vader himself is promising to make an empire out of a republic. He is the official candidate of the Ukrainian Internet party. From the article: 'The Sith lord, or at least an unnamed costumed protester often seen on Kiev's Independence Square flanked by his loyal stormtroopers during the winter protests, has been chosen as the official candidate of the Ukrainian Internet party (UIP) which has become known for its theatrical public stunts. "After winning intra-party primaries by a landslide, comrade Vader will be our party's candidate," said the UIP leader, Dmitry Golubov, who spent time in prison after being convicted of using the internet to run a credit card fraud scheme.'"

It's un-Ukrainian! Lord Vader should remain the enforcing power of the throne - not the occupant!
Not only that, the power which most resembles the Empire at this moment in time is Russia.
In Soviet Russia the Force is against YOU!

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

So then it makes sense, Darth Vader is running so that he can implement Emperor Putin's will.
In Neo-Soviet Russia, force uses you!
