Norc for presidency

What's with all this President talk?  We're not a republic here.

I wonder if he can deal with all the skeletons in his closet, though.  I recall that being somewhat problematic for his last campaign...

I thought we were an anarcho-syndicalist commune.

Did you now?

I want to be Chief Whip, I would be very good at the job, I would sort that Banks clan out in a Flick of a Geoduck.

I'm sure you'd be great as Chief Whip, Mrs Figg.

You have to read between the lines Norc, one day you'll master the ability.

read between the lines of my own lines?

no, we're a monarchy..

Quite right Norc! Eru bless the Queen!   (and her buckie cellar   )

Of course it is a constitutional monarchy, as is right and proper, so Eldo actually does the constitutional stuff himself, with a totalitarian (but fair, very fair!  ) zeal, but at least we have a figure head to wave flags at and make us not think about that!

The position of Mayor is one for the people, because it has no actual power, under the rules of the last election mods and Admin are not eligible to run.

The main duty of Mayor is to represent Forumshire at banquets in a humorous fashion that will make for a good tale later 

You also cannot nominate yourself if memory serves (I shall need to check the Forumshire election rules- Eldo keeps rewriting them   ) candidates have to be nominated by someone else.

i love you all so much really you are the best, Eru bless all of you

Was that your first Mayoral campaign speech?

I honestly forgot about that, but I just double-checked and that was how we did it last time.  I suppose we should make a new thread for people to offer nominations, then.

What?! Poll closed? I tried to zoom you [beeep beep beeep]ing phone!!Grrrrrrr!!

I'll volunteer to do your campaign posters!  

the mayor has gone awol

Oh, and here was me thinking someone was orchestrating some kind of coup. I'll have to settle for a mayoral election, I guess.

A revolution is good summer entertainment, no?

The last one here did not go too well

Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.

Listen to Petty, everyone. He speaks from experience on this topic.

Oh, what happened?

The fizz has gone out of my pop   Summer is winging its way off & not a soggy sarnie or sausageless sausage roll in sight
So, a Halloween Barbeque ??

I just realised I made a boo boo, I was so busy thinking about food & picnics I yapped on in the wrong thread
