Geography Doesn’t Matter

The distances politicians will travel to get elected:

Australian Works and Roads Minister David Borger asked Lebanese expatriates to vote for him, during a tour of the northern Lebanon district of Minyeh on Wednesday. Borger visited villages in the region, the hometown of several Australians of Lebanese origin, and met with local figures. He passed on the regards of Lebanese expatriates in Australia, hoping the latter would vote for him in his country’s coming elections

Those northern villages near Minyeh are so remote even Lebanese politicians don’t visit them.
