An accountant. My kingdom for an accountant

I am not in business, anymore.
I am fully into politics. But Canada, like most 3rd world countries, seems to hate democracy.
Oh we vote, at least some of us do anyway... And we have elections to select parliamentarians to (pardon me while I laugh out loud.... Hahahahahahahahaha) REPRESENT us. They don't, but that's what we elect them to do anyway.
Anyway, I digress. I want to run in the next election. But I have a problem.
Elections British Columbia and Elections Canada require that I have an AUDITOR of record to run, and/or form a political party.
This teeny little twist means that DEMOCRACY is not offered to starry eyed dreamers like me.
Seems my very public rants on Facebook, Twitter and here, elicit the wrong sort of impression about me.
It would appear that accountants only want to work for government approved parties. Of course they won't say that, but God help you if you want somebody to aid and abet you in screwing up the nice, lucrative thing the established parties have going on.
You see, BRIBERY is illegal. You cannot legally do it.
Have you ever, no matter how briefly, wondered what LOBBYISTS do? Or how to become one even?
If you have a conscience, and somehow manage to let it affect you life, LOBBYIST is not your career possibility.
Everything is for sale to the right bidder. EVERYTHING.
You can only sell, dispose of, relinquish control of, THINGS THAT YOU OWN.
That's important.
YOU CAN ONLY SELL SOMETHING YOU PHYSICALLY POSSESS.
Now think about your politicians.
Remember all them promises? How can they promise that? Oh wait!!! I KNOW!!! THEY OWN, CONTROL, POSSESS those things.
I am a fan of DIRECT DEMOCRACY.
If elected, I promise to work on behalf of my constituents AND ADDITIONALLY PROMISE to work to end the politician's control of people and things by getting a VOTER VETO through binding referendums.
They do this in Switzerland. There, the people have and operate by direct democracy. Nothing is beyond the ability of the people to annul, change, modify or propose through a binding referendum process changes in laws.
The politicians despise this. (All by itself that is the best reason to support the idea.)
And the people love it.
I invite you to look at Swiss government. It's a very interesting read.
Are you or someone you know, IN CANADA, an accountant?

The Yellow Pages won't do where ACCOUNTANTS routinely reject upstarts like myself.
"WEe don't get involved in politics." being the usual answer.
