I realy enjoy the elections because it gives me endless oportunities to secretly sketch over faces of the candidates in the newspapers they keep throwing in my mailbox. It really takes the edge off after stressful day in the office to draw moustaches, horns, beards or cat ears with earings on those nice, photoshopped faces.
Seems like those guys in your poster have managed to do the same wihout my help, and with some Donie Darko wibe, I imagine. Which party is that?

The party is Vienoti Latvijai. Es nezinu, ko tas varētu nozīmē. Maybe they are trying to suggest they are just three more fluffy white rabbits? Would fluffy white rabbits be corrupt? Would they stand up under pressure? I told my daughter of voting age that you can't trust people like that.

It could be an overture to the parents of the young. There was a fluffy red bird mascot playing with young kids by the kindergartens yesterday. The parents were being slipped promises in paper form by sly-looking old men while their children were occupied.

I checked out their fb account and I am seriously impressed. Althought I have no idea why they are using white rabbit and what is it supposed to stand for, but video where white rabbit is playing around with pink flamingo makes me regret I am not living in Baloži. It says in the annotation something about lost dreams and first comment is from someone sending them to rehab if they are suffering from such dreams/mightmares.

Best find in pašvaldību vēlēšanas so far. Beats Izvēlies zaļo! in Valmiera 100%. And political party has even been lead by Ainars Šlesers in recent past/

They'll show us how far the rabbit hole goes.

Astounding!

According to the singer of Jefferson Airplane the 'white rabbit' symbolises curiosity.

She, the singer, has no insights concerning pink flamingoes. I will search dream interpretation sites for clarity - though of course, the rabbit wanted to go swimming in a swimming pool which doesn't exist.

Personally, I think Lynch could have directed that.

Baloži has, animalistically, identity issues. The name is 'Pigeons', the symbol is a frog, and now a rabbit enters the fray. We know have real pigeons in town. Someone released them. They will make a good food source in the coming apocalypse as they are really docile.

I am almost sure in the beginning of video Rabbit turns on TV and in one of the channels he flips through there is Soviet film Kindzadza on. So maybe there are Soviet or Russian connotations I cannot fully read. However, there was a Russian cartoon Nu Pogodi! about white rabbit fighting wolf in my childhood, I recall.

Maybe pink flamingo comes from Lewis Carol, not Jefferson Airplane Alice in Wonderland. She played croquet there using flamingoes as sticks!

It still makes no sense at all. Except, that authors drug of choice is probably non-edible mushrooms.

It is very likely their campaign manager does not trust Vienoti Latvijai party either. I really wonder how they managed to convince party board that white rabbit is a good campaign idea. Imagine this (zoom) meeting with those creatives and Ainars Slesers fat neck business associates in blue suits where they present the idea. How did they keep straight faces while explaining the concept?

Thank you for your thoughts:

You have to understand that the tensions that have been suppressed in Pigeons have resulted in strange and curious manifestations in the Political landscape (not dissimilar to the Planet Pluke).

Say what you like about thick-necked schemers, but they are no fools. Kindzadza will appeal to the intellectual steeped in the soviet - be they Latvian or Russian. The cartoon, too, will appeal to the descendants of the Peat men and women who grace the old town.

And finally, the middle-class clothing of the rabbit will appeal to the young active families who have forsaken Riga, but would still like somewhere to SWIM that is clean.

they could pull it off yet
