LoneWolf Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Only 54 Candidates, someone was elected yesterday and is no longer a candidate. Taking account of who this someone is ..what a shame the rules dont allow people the chance to vote no we dont want you ..unopposed or not.

VinnieK Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Would be more fun if we could suggest other people really. Yeah, scrolling down the list of available candidates makes for a pretty grim fantasy by anyone's measure. I'd have Russ Abbot and the robot from Short Circuit in Douglas West - I think they'd make an unexpectedly good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
