political symbols on clothing are not allowed

Had some similar silliness in the Ontario provincial parliament in Canada when they decided a keffiyeh was a ‘political symbol’ or some such bs - they threw a member right out for refusing to take it off.

IMO, it would be better if politicians were like Nascar drivers. At least it would be more honest.
