The monkeys already vote

orangutan1.gifrajoy2.gifThe Spain Herald are up in arms over the Socialist government's plans to give more rights to simians, effectively providing apes with the same legal protection afforded to human beings. The PP seem utterly perplexed by the fact that the Socialists aren't doing the work of a proper government (i.e. building huge, useless national infratructure projects which directly benefit their own ministers, initiating flag-saluting ceremonies, illegally invading middle-eastern countries and so on). But then, the PP is the same party which has no values… so they can become very confused when anyone else appears to.

For example: the PP have stated over and over again that they were worried that the new Catalan statute would go against Spain's constitution. The integrity and protection of the constitution was always their main concern, not childish, partisan politicking. But now Rajoy wants to hold a national refferrendum on whether the Estaut is acceptable or not. Oh, Mariano! But that goes against the Spanish constitution! Nevermind, says the orang-utan. It's the will of the people of Spain. But what about when your buddy Aznar invaded Iraq? Up to 90% of the Spanish population were opposed in some way to this war, but your party didn't give a toss.

So what do you really believe in, PP? The constitution? You've already proven that you don't. Public opinion? You couldn't care less, until you can find some people to back one of your foolish crusades. The rule of law? That's why you lied about the Madrid bombings after they happened, ignored warnings before they happened, and are now trying to pervert the course of justice by claiming that the judiciary and police are involved in some sort of bizarre conspiracy. The Spanish people? That's why you took an active part in misleading the Spanish people into an illegal and deadly war.
The monkeys have already got the vote in Spain. Luckily they lost the last election, and at this rate, they'll lose the next one too.

    Like everything, I expect the PP will blow this out of all proportion in a desperate attempt to disgrace Zapetero. They'll probably make-out that the PSOE are trying to give apes DNI numbers and pension schemes. As I understand, they are not granting apes human rights but making cruelty to them illegal. Its already illegal to be cruel to dogs in Catalunya - I'm not sure if its the same case across Spain - so I don't see any problem with granting the same protection to apes or any other animal for that matter.
