Vote Fenby?
I am, as of this moment, standing for the mayoral elections in London. Votes please!
Well, not quite yet. After seeing an advertisement emblazoned on something gaudy in London, I felt the impulse to check this website. Essentially, it looks to be some form of networking site which allows members to create a candidate profile, and be voted for by other members. The winner is then given £50,000 and sent off to make a pebble-like splash in the mayoral election.
It looked amusing. So, naturally, I registered and set up a candidacy - for shits and giggles, etc. I am here, and running on a platform of creating Gross National Happiness above Gross National Product. Why not?
It should prove interesting at any rate - unless I forget all about it and it just disappears, I suppose. It’s certainly an interesting idea, and a novel use of the web. If it takes off, then we might see a few more independents in the future - which would be nice.
Actually, it probably deserves more consideration than that. I’m sure someone with more time than I will look at it. After all, I’m a busy mayoral candidate now. My time is rationed!
I wish they’d left me more room for a manifesto…
EDIT: On reflection, I have decided to re-jig the manifesto somewhat. Time for the Freak Power ticket…

I saw that and was sorely tempted to sign one or two friends up, just to see if they could win.
Trust you to get there first. Never mind, eh.
Hmm. I imagine it depends on who the friends were. Are they known to the denizens of SES?
Hmm. I could withdraw the candidacy, if it were to prove sufficiently entertaining. Or if they actually had a chance of winning…
Or, I suppose, we could all run and see if any of us pick up any votes…
I was merely allowing my mind to wonder. Fenby has my full support.
I have plans for this one. Many plans.
We wait with bated breath. Or should that be soiled trousers?
Both.
