Green party mayoral candidate for Granada, Francisco Garrido, said his town hall would give people up to 25 years old "sex vouchers," letting them stay at local hotels for half price, if he wins in May 25 local elections.


This sounds like vote-buying. And age discrimination, to boot!

Everyone knows how hard it is to get young voters to the polls.

Maybe now they'll come (boooo!)

Garrido said while he thought his proposal was popular on the street, members of the conservative Catholic community had sent him angry emails. I'll bet they did!

I can only imagine what would happen if this was a U.S. politician! Gotta admit, that is one original campaign strategy!

"A chicken in every pot"? Not really. More like "a cock in every.."
