Once upon a time, there was a big field full of animals. In that field, there were four silly donkeys named Iggy, Jacko, Frenchie, and Harpo. They represented the other animals at the House of Nonsense. Under them were smaller donkeys who represented smaller areas of the farm. These donkeys were called the Members of Parliament. Their job was to govern the field and represent all the other animals. They typically wouldn't do all that much, other than go to the House of Nonsense and cheer or jeer the four silly donkeys, and each other. They would argue about all sorts of things, but nothing ever seemed to get accomplished at the field.
The animals all just wanted a big, green, beautiful field with lots of carrots. Typically, the carrots were grown by farmers. They were called businessmen. Some of the farmers cultivated on many other farms. These farmers were known as multinational corporations. These farmers were very powerful. Some animals almost saw them being much more powerful than the four silly donkeys.
The four silly donkeys were always upset with each other and constantly fought for control of the House of Nonsense. Harpo believed that they should give incentives to farmers so that more would be attracted to the field, providing more jobs for the animals. Jacko wanted to tax the shit out of all the farmers and the animals who were working hard, so that all animals could have equal share of the carrots, regardless of their contribution. Frenchie just wanted to put a fence around his region and segregate it from the rest of the farm. And Iggy wasn't really sure what he wanted, but thought it may be a good idea to have no ideas.
Years earlier, the farm animals had voted for Harpo to run the House of Nonsense. The animals believed that Harpo was the donkey who would bring more farmers to the field, hence producing more jobs. Frenchie continued to work on the fence. Jacko was pissed off. And Iggy, well, he was just confused and not sure if he was sticking around the field much longer or returning to a field just south, where he had previously spent a large chunk of his life.
One day, Harpo upset the other silly donkeys by paying no attention to them. He believed that their ideas were not to the benefit of the field. So, they ganged up on him and held a vote. They, and their Members of Parliament, voted that Harpo and his Members of Parliament were not up to running the House of Nonsense. His ideas were not nonsense worthy. So, they all got sucky and walked out of the house.
