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.....

I'm fairly sure I've been canvassed by Michael, so he gets my vote

usualsuspect · 06/05/2010 17:38

I vote for Jack Jellyhead ,if he promises to redistribute his ill gotten gains

Well. Village People doing the YMCA.

SpringyWho · 06/05/2010 17:37

All together, they look like a festive YMCA.

My Norman vote still stands!

FreakoidOrganisoid · 06/05/2010 17:36

Splendid! Thank you

It looks busier there than my polling station was this morning.

blackflyinyourchardonnay · 06/05/2010 17:36

Haha they look like the Village people lined up like that.

Except for Father Christmas, who looks like Father Christmas.

Can we please have a picture? Am disappointed you don't yet have one up tbh.

Norman gets my vote though

blackflyinyourchardonnay · 06/05/2010 17:33

I vote Norman.

OtterInaSkoda · 06/05/2010 17:29

Is Michael the one who looks rather camp? Like a character from CHIPs? I'll vote for him

Could you also have

Arthur the Aircraft Analyst (ban Ash party)?

He would get our vote.

GrendelsMum · 06/05/2010 17:26

But with the massive UK deficit, can you afford to vote anyone but Jellyhead? Our party is going to make massive savings in the areas of policing, the courts, and the penal system.

VOTE JELLYHEAD FOR FISCAL PRUDENCE

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/05/2010 17:23

If cake is invloved then I agree with Norman.

toccatanfudge · 06/05/2010 17:23

hmmm - tricky one there then for me

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/05/2010 17:22

I have just asked ds, toccata - apparently coffee drinking will still be allowed, but there will be tax incentives for tea drinkers.
