Spoilt for ChoiceI have just had a look at the candidates for County Seats coming up soon.Well, we really are being spoilt for choice.Only trouble is , it's a bit like a kiddie in a sweet shop.So many sweeties but only allowed one . I have a rough idea who I will be going for ,but ,do I vote with my heart or my conscience?.Shame that the one person that would have got my vote is in the neighbouring ward. I do think there are going to be a few upsets this time round. |

If there are upsets, then it serves them right.
For example a certain councillor (Think you are talking about MEP elections but all the same) to curry favour goes to bingo, good for votes but is it really a credential? |

Personally I would like to see all elections done on a different style.Instead of us having to listen to all the promises ,waffle and hot air which must cost an awful lot.Let's just do it in a much simpler way.
My proposal is : Total Wipeout. 
yes ,the t.v show. We set an allocated number of seats and they have to complete the course. Time trialled ,of course,The fastest win.Simple. After all ,with what's been going on lately ,we couldn't do any worse .AND we would get our monies worth just watching how desperate they get. Local elections could be themed on a focal point in the area. We in Clacton could just stand 'em all in the un fountain fountain and turn it on to see which of the councillors will defy 'elf and safety orders due to impure water quality.Only the bravest win. Failing that ,we could wait til the new shiny railings are erected by Omnipresent &Co ( a reliable local firm  ) and buy in a few dozen Space Hoppers and first to boing out of fountain area (with water on full pelt ) get the seats.Oh ....and a free MacDonalds

Hmmmm been thinking ,the Wipeout Game should be for candidates under 50.
The rest will have to sit a University Challenge (otherwise known as Universally Challenged in our house ."I'm Lin and I'm reading a sauce bottle label). The brightest won't win ,we could mix it up with QI (brill programme) and give marks for the most interesting answers. Now ,no-one can say I am age ist
