One cannot police by mimes alone

Hah, i like this.
This is the kind of politics i can get behind.
As little enforcement as possible.

Yeah...Hilarious, inventive, and actually effective. 

He's running for President of Colombia again this year, after an unsuccessful attempt at the presidency and then vice-presidency.
Elections are on the 30th of this month. I really hope he wins.

Not only would it be fantastic to see his unorthodox strategies implemented on a national level, it could change the way they do politics.

I love what he did with the mimes. I really hope more governments will adopt similar methods of enforcement in the future, though I like to stay pessimistic about this sort of thing. It softens the disappointment.
