What? You have the Natural Law Party too? I thought we had it only in France. In
France it never does more than 1% in any elections we have, which is still a lot
in my opinion for a group which is registered in France as a "dangerous
sectarian group", that's to say as a sect.

In France, at least, if we want we can hear of all parties: on public TV before
the elections, all parties do some political presentations (not real
advertisements like you see in the US, as in France political advertisements are
forbidden, but small video spots that all parties can do with a limited amount
of money -the same for all parties- which is given by the state, while the
material -cameras, studios- are lent by the public channel) that appear on TV
before the 8 o'clock news. Nobody really watches them, but at least if they
want, they can, and all parties are represented there (for the smallest ones,
they are not represented anywhere else anyway). It's not much, but at least it's
something.
