[SoMuchToBits]

Can it really be five years since the tea-drinking party, led by NormanTheForeman swept to victory in the last general election? Oh yes it can! And today the plastic people are off to the polling stations again.

This year's parties standing for election are as follows:-

Tea-drinking party (leader NormanTheForeman)

Lifesaving party (leader KylieTheLifeguard)

Law and Order party (leader MichaelTheBeachPoliceman)

Military party (leader Sir Ospringe Bapchild)

Legalise Robbery party (leader Jack Jellyhead)

PlaymoLand Independence party (PLIP) (leader Nigel Garage)

Here's a photo of all the party leaders.

I'll be back shortly to tell you a little about each party's main policies.

Polls are open now and will close at 10 pm.

Cast your vote here!

Definitely Classics -Ooh! maybe this time I will have a vote that wins...

Too late - but "Yay!"

Oh, Dawn, its Tom Daley!

Wow, playmobil has really changed since my day!

Haha, I love the Playmobil Tom Daley I think we have him actually.

Ooh, this has given me some ideas for the state opening of Parliament.

Bikinis and budgie-smugglers at the state opening of Parliament?

Say it isn't so, I won't be able to stop my poor brain from seeing the same at the RL one!

I think that on one side of the room there will be a lot of people with s hope we have enough teacups

On the other side there will be various life-saving, law-abiding and other Members of the Playmo Parliament. With a speech given by King Athelstan about what his government will do over the next 5 years.

SoMuch - whoever Norman appoints as Chancellor of the exchequer might want to consider this?

Thanks! I think I will be keeping Rupert as my Chancellor. I'll ask him to bear those in mind when he sorts out his budget!

I hope he will be considering Earl Grey as an option.

I'm sure the budget can cover all sorts of beverages!

Dido. Definitely a candidate for Norm's cabinet I'm sure!

I think Earl Grey might have to sit in the House of Lords rather than the commons!

True! Good to get all bases covered there Norm!

yes, I have just replied to a playmobil man, but he is the Playmo PM after all

Can't believe I missed this!

Well, if Lady Grey if offered a seat in the House of Lords too, I for one cry 'nepotism'

The masses awaiting the Opening of Parliament

Oh, I think is a perfectly good beverage, Pacific! In fact I have a in one hand and a blue in the other hand right now.

I'm sure I recognise some of those people!

More tea for me. Tannin drinkers all the way

(you're allowed to wave to the PM, right?)

I think cups fall under the "essential infrastructure" section of the budget. Given that SoMuch's DS is now 5 years older than when you were first elected, does that mean that the overall budget is larger, or merely that there are more competing demands for a fixed budget?

Any other major infrastructure projects planned? A swimming pool upgrade to pander to the life saving party supporters, maybe?

The budget may have increased, but you are also right about the increasing demands percussion instruments and games for Train Simulator.

We have recently invested in a new coastguard station, which should please the Lifesaving party voters, and also plan to add to our fleet of rescue boats.

Hi everyone - unfortunately it looks like we didn't move this to Classics in time and it went poof!

Luckily we have managed to have a dig around and have brought it back

We'll pop it in Classics now.
