Julian Assange Is Delusional

Perhaps it's the effect of being confined too long in the Ecuadorian embassy; or maybe the effect of people paying less attention to him than he wishes.

In any case, he thinks his 'Wikileaks Party' is a serious player in Australian politics, despite getting 0.62% of the vote in the election.

Julian Assange on Sunday declared that the WikiLeaks Party’s showing in Australia’s parliamentary elections had been a “great result,” despite winning less than 1 per cent of the vote. [ ... ] 

“The WikiLeaks Party will continue for sure,” Mr. Assange said, insisting that 0.62 per cent of the vote was a “pretty good outcome.” Others have declared WikiLeaks’ entry into party politics a shambles.

Absolutely right -- you need to keep it going. After all, consider that the Libertarian Party used to get about that much of the vote, and look at where they are now.

On second thought, maybe that's not such a good example. Give me a little time on this one.
