Summary- In the article “Darth Vader is Running for Prime Minister of Ukraine, Vowing to Take On Putin” published by Newsweek.com on 10/24/14 we learn that a person dressed up as famous Star Wars villin, Darth Vader, is running for Prime Minister of Ukraine. Darth Vader is running for Ukraines “internet party”. His campaign proposes turning Ukraine’s government into an “e- government” or online government where people could “vote, claim social services, interact with government officials, track the budget and license their business completely online.”
Analysis- At first I was shocked that Darth Vader was running for Prime Minister of Ukraine. But then I realized that the “internet party” was a real party with real goals. I soon wrapped my mind around the concept of having Darth Vader as Prime Minister of Ukraine or even President of the U.S. Overall I think that Darth Vader’s cause is justified, and that he should be allowed to run for Prime Minister even if he has never shown his true identity.
Discussion Questions-
- Do you think Darth Vader should be allowed to run for Prime Minister of Ukraine?
- Do you think America would allow Darth Vader to run for President?
- Would you support Darth Vader? Why or why not?
This is probably the peak of human civilization. Enjoy it as it lasts.

Deleteno i don't think he should because someone on the street could easily put on a Darth Vader costume and screw up the entire government or start wars. no America wouldn't unless the person dressed as Vader gave their true identity. I wouldn't because its not a very smart thing to do, again someone can dress up as Vader and cause havoc.
