It's general election day for the Playmobil people in our house.

[SoMuchToBits]

Here are this year's candidates. From left to right:- Michael the beach policeman (Law and order party), Emilia (Fashion accessories party), Jack Jellyhead (Legalise robbery party) Norman the foreman (Tea drinking and lifesaving party), Deepika (Keep fit party) and Seiji (DIY party).

Will Norman the foreman and the Tea drinking and lifesaving party remain in power? We will have to find out! The population of Playmoland will soon be arriving to cast their votes.

The polling station will open at 7 am.

I think Norman should form a coalition with Seiji

Congratulations Norman!

Excellent! Shows what this country really cares about, Tea drinking!! 😂

Oh, I'm sorry Seiji. I was looking forward to Government Sponsored Shelving.

But well done Norman. Now don't get complacent!

Ooh a coalition government!

Exciting. Thank you for the coverage @SoMuchToBits

Congratulations to Norman!

Well done Norman - not quite a landslide but a win is a win!

Hooray for Tea!
(Although I voted for the Keep Fit Party)

It just means I have to drink more tea instead of exercising. Can't be all that wrong. 😅

Yay for Norman!

Thanks for this SoMuch, brilliant as always!

This has been a lovely thread, thanks so much OP.

Well if Emilia ( great frock and hat btw) form opposition, at least she will be able to influence the boyz in making sure that all policies include opportunities for decorative accoutrements in official events

Following negotiations, Norman and Seiji have agreed to form a coalition government. Norman will remain prime minister and Seiji will become deputy prime minister.

What about Kylie?!

Kylie remains an MP for the Tea drinking and lifesaving party. I expect she will get a position in the cabinet!

I was hoping for a Norman/Deepika coalition but you can't have it all.

Thanks for your service @SoMuchToBits, these threads are a tonic in turbulent times.

I would like Norman to provide free sausages for robber dogs.

Apollo’s murky behaviour can then be left in the past.

The kettle will aye be on for Norman. But I’ll be having coffee. Cheers 🫖 to Norm and Seij.

Solid handshake there. Good to see that the election was conducted in silicon a professional manner. Speeches?

I hope so!

Well done Stormin Norman

Will Norman and Seiji be making a speech? Is there an equivalent of 10 Downing Street in Playmoland?

Excellent, consistency rules! Well done Norman.

Has Norman been to see the King?

Norman and Seiji are making a speech outside number 10 Upping Street.

And no, Norman hasn't been to see the King yet because I was waiting for the rain to stop before going down the garden to the shed to collect King Athelstan and some bits of Roundwood Palace.

But I think I'll have lunch first...
