Something Silly

The Issue
Several underground organisations in Snoozing Buffalax have recently been spreading discontent throughout the populace about not being able to vote.
The Debate
1."We demand the power to rule the country the way we want!" cries Thomas Dodinas while being dragged before you in chains. "Too long have you and your dictatorial government been allowed to control our lives! The right to vote in a fair and free election is all we crave! You can take our lives, but you'll never take our souls! Elections for Snoozing Buffalax!"
2."If you'll take my advice, we should just send these crazies down to the dungeons," murmurs Wil Mistletoe, one of your political advisors. "If we let them spread this propaganda we'll soon have a revolution on our hands! We should crack down on these groups, and ban non-governmental political organisations to keep the people from getting too frisky with their pitchforks."
3."There's no need to be quite so dramatic," assures Sean Sparkle, your minister of Silly Walks as he pinwheels past. "We could let them have their way a little, just to keep them happy, you know? We could give them the right to vote, but not the right to run for office. Then we could just pick out the candidates we wanted and they could choose! We've been doing this for years, we don't want some uppity new bloke trying to tell us what to do."
Out of everything in this issue, this is the one thing that stands out to me.
The Sultanate of Snoozing Buffalax has a Ministry of Silly Walks.
Just...what.
