It's been fairly successful, I didn't think it would take off to the extent it has, that's due to all of your efforts and enthusiasm. I'm also pleased by the fact that there's been no arguing, a good vibe, and its been a pleasure to be part of and even get to interact more with members I don't often cross paths with.

I have to agree with you again, on the face of the post starting this off,I understood it as looking at tibb as a constituency and candidates being nominated to be the tibb MP in Parliament.
That was why we concentrated more on National issues.Based on all we have debated and read as to other members views on threads on the forum.
It did sort of develop it's own way after that. However, I think it has been a success overall, people had to work together and a lot of effort and time went into the manifestos,I know that because JF and I spent lot of time in pms planning it all.As did Livia too.
to the present there are near 70 members who have voted in it too.Next time in a framework and clearer guidelines I believe it will be as interesting if not more so even it is set only around the tibb forum and its contents.
I think you suggested a good idea on this,it would be nice if it continued. I have enjoyed it, one day I may be in real life looking at going into politics anyway, this has helped me see some things I may have to deal with,the other thing is though,all the things we had on here as policies are things I would fight for in the real world too.
We all learn something every day,this could have turned into a very difficult and nasty exercise, yet all through it, it has been a good and interesting experiment.Creating quite a few surprises too.
So I want to thank you kate for suggesting it and bringing it about.
