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! Grin

Norman and the tea drinkers good name for a band. Grin

So Mr. Garidge, if you win, will you be leaving "Toy Town Inc" and try to go it alone?

LittleMissIntrovert · 07/05/2015 15:07

Hmm while I do love Norman, I think a coalition with Kylie should be good.

So I am also voting tactically for Kylie!

SoMuchToBits · 07/05/2015 15:13

There's a lot of tactical voting going on today!

Kylie gets my vote. I would also be happy with a Kylie/Norman coalition though (I have delurked to vote in the mumsnet playmobil election but not been to the polling station yet!)

honeysucklejasmine · 07/05/2015 15:39

Kylie and the lifesavers I think!

MrsEvadneCake · 07/05/2015 15:52

Norman Brew

TheoreticalOrder · 07/05/2015 16:07

I'm a staunch Norm supporter but this year it's got to be Kylie.

It was the jetski that swung it.

Elvish · 07/05/2015 16:10

I can't see the picture Sad but I'm voting for change. Tactical vote for Kylie but my heart is with Jack!

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 07/05/2015 16:12

Norman for me Brew

Stealthsquiggle · 07/05/2015 16:16

Hmm. Kylie's approach sounds tempting. I have a deep mistrust of Michael for reasons that I find hard to pin down. A suspicion of narcissism, maybe?

But

But

I can't do it to Norman

He gets my vote.

quietasamouse · 07/05/2015 16:25

Damn you Norman, I have spent all day wanting a fry-up Smile.

Katz · 07/05/2015 16:29

Argh! Cut and paste fail! Kylie for the Life party,

we mumsnet to use their survey monkey account!

Nessarosehas4 · 07/05/2015 16:30

The tea drinking party aka Norman the forman.
Really fancy a fry up now. :)

AlpacaLypse · 07/05/2015 16:37

I can't see any photos!

And I've tried looking at OP's profile and I've seen lots of lovely old ones from the last Playmobile event but nothing for this time?

Have I broken Mumsnet somehow?

SoMuchToBits · 07/05/2015 16:39

Maybe I should add these photos to my profile as well then...

As a floating voter I'm voting Kylie, those life-saving skills could come in handy.
Though I do wonder what her policy on improving the Playmoland Whale Fountain swimming pool will be, the engineering of the shower is particularly shoddy with it squirting out no more than a pathetic dribble most of the time, and we often have ours taken over by loitering lego spongebob and patrick.

SurelyYoureJokingMrFeynman · 07/05/2015 16:43

Could see photos in the OP fine this morning. Now... nothing.

SoMuchToBits · 07/05/2015 16:47

You're right, the photo in the OP has disappeared! I've added all the photos to my profile now though.

It's an ongoing problem. Notify MN when it comes up: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2351701-Photos-in-OP-not-showing?

(I've added this thread to the list.)

SoMuchToBits · 07/05/2015 16:57

Thanks, Surely! Smile

It's going to have to be Norman for me, think Kylie would abandon her political duties at a call of "surfs up".

Tea Drinking Party X

DrDiva · 07/05/2015 16:59

So I need to ask... If the area Drinking Party has been in power, how is their current record on keeping election promises? Is there a lot of tea drinking going on amongst the masses?

DrDiva · 07/05/2015 17:01

Tea drinking party even...

SoMuchToBits · 07/05/2015 17:05

Playmoland statistics show that tea consumption per capita has increased over the last 5 years. although that might be slightly influenced by the enormous quantity of tea consumed by Norm and his mates

That lovely Norman gets my vote. Huzzah for the TDP!
