Norman's office has been turned into a polling station. Brian and Len are checking off the voters against the electoral roll. Ken is conducting the exit poll. The candidates are:-

Norman the Foreman (Tea drinking party)
Bossy Ross the lifeboat coxswain (Lifesaving party)
Michael the beach policeman (Law and order party)
Jack Jellyhead the robber (Legalise robbery party)
Father Christmas (Christmas all year round party)

Early results from the exit poll suggest that the tea drinking party and lifesaving party are doing rather well.....

are FP 'little people' allowed a vote?

LionsAreScary · 06/05/2010 19:09

I haven't voted in real life yet (will be off shortly) and am still undecided.

But in this election Norman has my vote. I only wish he were a candidate in RL.

47 Playmobil people in our house (only those over 18 were polled of course) voted for Norman. The two Father Christmases voted for the Christmas All Year Round Party. The eight or so under the sofa abstained. It looks like a Norman landslide.

Im voting for bossy ross in the hope that if elected he can diversify into law and order also and also think he wil be good at drinking tea as i imagine sometimes he waits about alot in the cold. Also i like the name as i really like Ross in friends and Ross Kemp so there you go. Looking closely also he looks like he HAS NOT had botox.

elliemental your talents are wasted here. Get thee to The Sun

GordonGallumbits · 06/05/2010 19:02

well i would have though norman would get my vote but i'm finding michael the beach policeman strangely alluring and attractive.

would it be shallow to let this swing my vote?

Keep casting your votes!

It's looking like a Norman conquest here...

OtterInaSkoda · 06/05/2010 19:01

Honestly, Dont. Is it any wonder the civil service is in crisis?

OtterInaSkoda · 06/05/2010 19:00

The policemen are all posing down on the beach, Norbert. I think there's somekind of Mr Universe competition going on. This is entirely unrelated to the Election - the contest was arranged long before the Election was called. It could have been a disaster but fortunately the organisers have seen the funny side of it and many of the contestants have adopted a politics theme for their outfits.

Norman likes a nice peaceful environment in which to enjoy his cuppa...

Otter, oh bloody hell, yes I am, I've been so careful in real life and now I've cast caution aside for a tea-drinking, moustachioed plastic homunculus.

Norman is very good pals with Michael the beach policeman, and is a fan of law and order in Playmoland. In fact, Norman currently has his arm bandaged, as he was shot by a robber 2 days ago. He had to leave his hospital bed to do some last-minute canvassing....

We're big fans of Norman the Foreman here but can I just ask what his stance on crime is please?

Its just that as I sit here MNing I can hear the alarm going off on the glass case in the other room as the jewel thieves are up to their old tricks again....and not a policeman in sight
