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

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.

How do I tag Kier?

Brilliant!

You can't tag Keir, as he isn't in the cabinet! I do have a Keir, he is a customer in the pizzeria.

You really are amazing @SoMuchToBits. Thank you for this thread.

Anyone else think SoMuch should actually be our Prime Minister in real life?!

🤣🤣🤣🍕

@Epilepsy noooooo, it would be far too much responsibility! I can just about be responsible for a collection of plastic people...

A big thank you for making so many of us smile @SoMuchToBits .
And for all the time and thought you've put into this. You really are a lovely person.

Thank you @BetterTheDevlinYouKnow ! But I actually enjoy spending time and thought on Playmobil!

I'm particularly grateful to anyone who posted comments along the way. I love the comments as a) it's great to hear what other people think, b) it sometimes gives me ideas for new scenes/photos and c) it bumps the thread so more people see it.
And totally love it when people post their own Playmo photos!

Any chance of a picture of the new Cabinet? These threads are absolutely glorious!

You'll be pleased to hear that after all his hard work campaigning and forming a cabinet, Norman is relaxing today with a and a
