TiBB General Election - 2015/16

This hasn’t been done for a few years and there has been a little controversy attached to it in the past but well, not on my watch you don’t....and we have lots and lots of new members who probably haven’t been a part of it before…Marcus, the last TiBB Prime Minister has I believe resigned in the midst of an expenses scandal so the forum needs a new ‘leader’….this is a fun thing and light hearted thing and a chance to use your creative skills.. I haven’t done anything like this before but I figure all I have to do is drink coffee for a few weeks and then count votes at the end so that should be manageable…anyways, I’ve basically copied Ben’s last OP when he did it and that’ll have to do for the moment until my typing skills are on par again but if it does go ahead/if members want this to happen..?...then I’ll fluff it up a bit and ask Tom if he’ll do a pretty logo as well…(I’ve said 2015/16 as I don’t know if it can be fitted into this year’s schedule so it may happen at the beginning of next year if that’s not possible..)…

So just to see if there is interest in this, the rules etc..(copied from Ben again..)…

Part 1:

Members may nominate one member only (with that person's permission), but you may NOT nominate yourself.

Part 2:

Once we have ten potential candidates with two votes each, they will be the leaders of their campaign. They must state in 100 words or less why they should go forward to Part 3.

From here the forum members then may support ONE candidate and choose to 'back' them. Once a candidate reaches 8 supports they will qualify for Part 3. Only five candidates will make it.

Part 3:

From here the 5 successful candidates will then gather a team; a campaign manager and a designer. These three will then put together a campaign speech detailing why they should be elected to become TiBB's Prime Minister. They will also need to produce a party name, posters, logo, campaign support and anything else they feel may give them an advantage over their other candidates.

The campaign speeches and campaign promotion shall be posted and a forum vote shall occur where the supporters can vote for their favourite party, with the winning campaign taking the crown.


Everyone can vote, including Candidates, Campaign Managers, designers and Supporters. Please let's keep this light-hearted and fun.

You may nominate potential candidates now, but make sure you have their permission.
