The Election

[alex_holt]

Well Im bored and do not presently have the patience for any writign and therefor ive come up with a suggsetion. Who would be interested in staging a mini election, with the winner gaining no power whatsoever.

create your own political parties and each party must have at least five policies.

You dont have to be sensible as real politicians make stuff up all the time, and are probably much less interesting.

Well then stage a vote somewhere, but I really cant be bothered to plan that far ahead. We really need at least three parties. If several people want to stand for the same party thats fine.

One last thign dont call it the fancy dress party or soemthing liek that cos its not funny as its been done.

The Election

This has been done before, and it ruled

I would like to form...

The boring party

Policies are to:

Invent as many weapons of mass hilarity as possible

Invade forums we dont like and change the head moderator

Reduce the costs of joining new forums by 50%

An increase of spell checkers, with instant banning of people who use phrases like WTF STFU, FOO! Hahaha PWNED!!!

Punning mercilessly at people who dont vote for us.

So who wants to join me? Its not compulsory, you just have to do it

[alex_holt]

The Election

So so far we have:

The Boring Party (Frank Goacher)
The Liberal LEMocratic Party (Steven McGergor)
The Collective Party (Ceri Jenkins)
The No Good Can Come of This Party (Dave Sheppard)

Also as Im a biased Im having my my own party:

The Bow down before Me Pitiful Mortals Party

* The aardvark will replace the lion as the antional animal
* Bring back corporal punishemnt - legalise cattle prods for use in education.
* Everything is done at my whim, no beaurocracy
* Money will will be replaced usign an elaborate system involving live pigeons and WHSmtihs vouchers
* People can be tried for being morons (as in actign like twerps when they are perfectly capable of not doign so) and if they are found guilty they can be extradited to antarctica. With no protective clothing.
* An end to stupidly over the top political correctness - any one who complains about anythign like black coffee, the holy ghost or brainstorming will be thrown to the sharks at my discretion.

Now should we open up a votign thread in the general chatter, but give people 24hrs more for any additional parties. Then Ill open the thread and we can begin voting.

Oh and if you decided to support an someone elses party you need to choose a position, such as chancellor, home secrutary or soemthing such like thing.
