Government Twitter accounts are debating 'Star Wars' politics and it's great
Not familiar with Australia's parliamentary system? That's fine, for now. All you need to know is that the people running its Twitter accounts seem to be massive Star Wars geeks.
Just look at the duelling between the House of Representatives account and the Senate account, that took place on May the 4th (be with you.)

In contrast to the vague Star Wars references brands roll out annually, the Houses provided a rather in-depth and robust discussion about the Galactic Senate on the special day.
Keep up if you can:
It's a shame there isn't a Galactic House of Representatives @AboutTheHouse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #StarWarsDay

@AboutTheHouse The Galactic Senate actually contained senators and representatives. Jar Jar Binks was a representative :)

@AboutTheHouse It's implied that a Senator represents a system (or sector of planets) with reps (like Jar Jar) representing planets #starwarsnerd :)

@AboutTheHouse You may recall Senator Amidala referring to Jar Jar as Representative Binks #nerdwars

@AboutTheHouse It would be nice to know which standing order Queen Amidala used to move a no-confidence motion in Chancellor Valorum

@AuSenate Perhaps Episode 1 removed the SSO motion for brevity.

@AuSenate You just miss Borsk Fey’lya, the ultimate space Senator.

And in case if you think it's just the same guy or girl having a conversation with themselves on Twitter, then you are wrong.
@oberonsghost @AboutTheHouse I find your lack of faith disturbing ...

See fans, that intricate knowledge of Star Wars will really get you places in politics.
