An unexpected electoral reshuffle has led to the election of a herd of hippos to the National Assembly. The political class is in complete chaos, trying to understand this unprecedented event.
It all started when a group of engaged hackers, the “Cyber-Hippo,” managed to hack the country’s electronic voting system. Their goal was not to support a particular candidate but simply to expose the flaws in our political system. To do this, they programmed all the voting machines to elect… hippos.
“We just wanted to highlight the absurdity of our voting system. We had no idea our joke would take on such magnitude,” said the spokesperson for the Cyber-Hippo, who wished to remain anonymous. “We are as surprised as everyone else. We thought the votes would be annulled and new elections would be organized. Instead, we now have 577 hippos occupying the seats of the National Assembly.”
The current President of the Republic, apparently as bewildered as the rest of the country, stated: “It is clear that we are facing an unprecedented situation. But even though they are hippos, they were democratically elected, and we must respect that choice.”
In the meantime, the Vincennes Zoo is preparing to welcome the new deputies and has already announced that it is setting up appropriate infrastructures, including an aquatic hemicycle and unlimited grazing platters. “It’s a rather unusual situation, but we are ready to take on the challenge,” said the zoo director, Bernard Laplante.
Despite the chaos, this unexpected election has sparked a national debate on how we vote and who deserves to represent us. While some are calling for an immediate annulment of the elections, others argue that the hippos are doing as good a job, if not better, than our traditional politicians. For now, the country is waiting to see how things will unfold. As a disillusioned citizen aptly summed up: “At least you can’t say they talk for nothing. And who knows? Maybe the hippos will be better than humans at running the country.”
