Here Comes the Sun

"Here Comes the Sun" was a popular 1960s song written by George Harrison (Beatles), and a very popular version was sung by Richie Havens.  This song could be a good segue (segway) to the Party of Commons, whose motto is Tradition, Progress, Ecology, as the sun signifies a new beginning, brightness and, as in Aesop's "The North Wind and the Sun," wisdom.  The chairman of the Party of Commons, Mark Greene, is currently running for Newcastle City Council under a platform of anti-annexation (tradition), practical budget policies (progress), and environmental advancement (ecology).  If successful, this would be Greene's first general election victory ever since becoming a candidate for the first time in elections through the 1976 primaries for the Michigan House of Representatives (back then, under his first name as opposed to middle), although winning two primaries in Alaska (Congress) at the turn of the 21st century.  Greene moved to Newcastle, WA in 2005 from south King County.
