As one party is made up almost entirely of mods, and to use a well-worn phrase in politics, you would say that, wouldn't you.

Look everyone! I did a smiley!

So that will be one person in your party taking it seriously then, Shaun. I'm just glad they've finally appointed a Campaign Manager. Better late than never, eh?

It was primarily created with tibb policies in mind and lighthearted and then it took on a life of its own.

Just have free rein and go for it. I'm eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Piddles party's CM.

Well, at first I thought it may be related only to tibb matters too, however there would have been little point in myself or likely some others being involved as we really have little understanding as to the internal workings of tibb.

I then saw a post that said one of the parties believed in freedom for animals and that clearly has nothing to do with the workings of tibb and then more and more the encouragement as to anything goes was evident so then for me anyway, it became more interesting and a challenge.

The Labear Party formed in 2009 when TiBB member Nathan Mugabe registered for what he thought would be a carefree Utopia of discussions on the merits of Freddie Fisher's beard. However, much to his dismay, he soon found that the website was rife with problems, and set out to solve them.

The party has steadily increased in support and popularity through its philanthropic activities over the years. Highlights include the TiBB Music Awards 2010, where worldwide acts such as Lady GaGa, Elton John and Same Difference performed for the website's audience in support of the TiBB Anti-Bullying charity, This Is Beating Bullying, headed by Jamie Pugh. Another career high for Nathan was the creation of the Baking Thread which saw a 304% increase in the sales of TiBB cookies, creating an additional 200 jobs for the community.

The Labear Party have always put TiBB first and are not afraid to fight tooth and claw to get what TiBB rightly deserves. If elected, we would strive to achieve the following goals:

1) The creation of a new public holiday, 'Lionel Day', designed to celebrate the career and spirit of Lionel Richie and the wonderful Commodores. This would fall on September 28, and citizens are welcome to observe such soon-to-be-traditions as singing songs, attempting to dance on the ceiling, and growing mustaches.

2) The National anthem to be replaced with the Yogi the Bear theme tune: Click here and try not to weep with joy.

3) We will strive for UNESCO to include marmalade sandwiches on their list of cultural heritage sites and will establish a closer rapport with the Republic of Peru in accordance with our reverence for Paddington Bear.

4) The problem of global warming will be tackled more urgently and seriously in order to help save our polar friends.

5) The forum would be advertised extensively on wildlife and survival TV shows, which we hope will lead to a 44% increase in users and activity. We are particularly interested in working with any franchise Bear Grylls chooses to associate himself with, given our admiration for his survival and resourceful techniques.

6) The Music forum would have a strict policy against the creation of threads about Katy Perry, Chris Brown and Scouting for Girls. We feel this quality control would only benefit the ears of its users.

7) It would be a requirement for TiBB citizens to observe hibernation during the month of January. The website would then be closed for improvements and maintenance work, as well as giving citizens a month to recuperate and work on better thread ideas.

8) Given the LGBT community's embracing of the term 'bear' to mean a larger or hairier homosexual male, the Labear Party will campaign for LGBT equality, with a vested interest in the legalisation of gay marriage. We will marry two homosexual sloth bears at the ZSL London Zoo as an act of solidarity.

9) In the event of a coalition government we are keen to work closer with the Cosy Listen (or Coalition) Party, given our similar stances in the areas of foreign and social policy.

10) The constitutional monarchy would be slowly dismantled. In the 21st century it is quite absurd for a family to inherit vast amounts of wealth and power without any notable work for it. We will replace the current royal family (and its pesky corgis) with a title of 'Papa Bear' or 'Mama Bear', depending on gender, which would be elected every 5 years. Buckingham Palace would be bulldozed and replaced with a giant castle created entirely out of Fox's Glacier Mints.

11) The slang term 'bare', taken to mean 'very' or 'in exceptional proportion', would be popularised on television by the likes of Rolf Harris and Bill Oddie.

12) The right to bare arms is one the Labear Party cannot condone more, and therefore we would push for the abolition of all long sleeves.

13) The TiBB footer's links for Housemate subforums would be ****ING BLOODY UPDATED

14) Bear hugs would slowly but inevitably replace handshakes as the British form of greeting.

15) A daily 'paws for thought' would be observed on TiBB where a celebrity would appear via video-link and give some uplifting or challenging thoughts for us all.

I would like to think,people as they decide to vote, look at the bigger picture.

Of course, tibb is important but the tibb forum does not necessarily need a party/group to change things. Whereas the wider World does.
Our coalition policies in the main reflect so much from tibb members, who in the serious debates section for instance cry out for many of the things included in the JedwardJoey coalition.

Music and games feature a lot in tibb too,so something that helps secure the future of film,music and the games industry is beneficial to tibb too.More to talk about and share with others.
The Jedward/Joey coalition has taken on board that big picture, tibb is being asked to vote for a party not a tibb representative, political parties create MPs, MPs are part of politics and politics is about life, everyones lives including tibb members.

That is why we chose to go the route of the bigger picture and take on board all those frustrations and ideas that tibb members make in all their very informed threads.
What a great day it could be if our policies were in fact all implemented, that would be a great result for tibb and everyone else.
