Given how dull and uninspiring the rollout of the 2021 election has been I thought #nlpoli could all use some mild entertainment.

So do y’all think any of our current and former-turned-wannabe MHAs look like the Simpsons characters? Because I sure do! 1/n

While growing up I loved the original Simpsons’ characters and parody. This is lighthearted poking, so please don’t be arseholes about it. That being said if you feel you have better suggestions post them below!
