Mood: d'oh
Now Playing: Dixon Of Dock Green
Ever since Liebeman fell from power in disgrace, I knew that I fancied a taste of all those freebies that councillors get either legally or a little illegally if you know what I mean. I'm looking forward to attending meetings and just sitting there looking dumb, and the free tea and biscuits afterwards. First though there is the problem of winning an election, and with nominations scheduled to close any day now, it looks like I might have my work cut out for me.
First off, the big three parties will all be putting up a show for this one, they're not really a major problem though, my area normally goes for an Independent. What worries me is some of the others. Commie-Tec after the great election fraud earlier this year have made way for some geezer called Nelson who is representing some organisation called ANC, I think they're some sort of insurance company. Then there's another bloke called Lech who is obviously trying to court the Eastern European vote in my opinion, better watch him closely. A lot of the others who stood in May are also standing again so it's all going to get a bit exciting soon.
I've saved up all my leave for this campaign, and I'll start using it as from tomorrow. Me and Benny are going to buy a Travelcard so not only can we hold our meetings on buses, but we can get around on the trains as well. He did reckon we'd be better off using something called an Oyster, but I'm allergic to seafood so that's a no no.
So it's farewell to my trolley for a few weeks, and hello to the soapbox, I just hope my voice holds out.
Shalom
