And Master Broken HTML Tags is a fearsome friend indeed.
This candidacy has "one of Mr Wines’ little pranks" written all over it. The victory party would be something else though, so there’s that to consider. Also, if she’s being backed by the Vake Hunters then her winning would really annoy Mr Veils and Mr Veils really deserves to be annoyed.
I’m waiting to see who the other candidates are… and who NiteBrite supports. After all, in the real mayoral election, it was NiteBrite who won.
I’m hoping for Jovial Contrarian 1894: the change London may or may not need.
And once again during the middle of a speech when confronted by a reporter, that had managed to sneak past the rows of Special Constables, our great city’s Mayor once again stopped his speech to debate the fellow. The verbal duel lasted nearly a whole day and has indirectly sent a number of fine londoners off to the Tomb Colonies.
In any case, this is a sham election, and the LNP officially protest the limitation of the voting pool and the disqualification of NiteBrite. Sterner responses may be forthcoming.
North-Bound MP for Mayor! "Aim for the well when you throw your vote away."
Considering Veils likes to kill, I think he would enjoy a bunch of fools going for him to try to kill him.

By the competent ones, though. The ones that seem to actually pose a threat to him. Still fools, still going to die, but…
I’m unsure about this as regards British history, but in the US, there were elected politicians who were unable to vote for themselves.

It would be a bit strange to sweep it under the rug, in an election. I wonder if it’ll be a part of the wider story? Given that Fallen London has zubmarines and space bats and Seekers driving themselves stark raving mad all over the place, giving everyone the vote seems long past due.
Probably Jenny. Between her, the bishop, and the likely 3rd candidate I like her best. Anti-vake, aid for the suffering and for the sinner, a campaign favoring bold action, and a lady politician all in one? That’s a tough act to beat especially by someone anti-hell (and therefore pro-judgements in a roundabout way) or a notorious flip-flopper (the likely 3rd candidate). And while she may have some connection to the masters and the bazaar, that’s hardly unusual down here in the neath. I mean, where do you think I got all of these goats from? I like revs and the church well enough, but I’m definitely a bohemian first. She’s definitely an interesting choice if nothing else.

It might be against the law for women and ambiguous people to vote, but said law might no longer be actively enforced. London’s government is so corrupt and feeble after all when it comes to basic law and order. Maybe slip the poll watcher twenty pieces of glim and you’re in.
A another question is property qualifications. In the late 19th century the vote was limited to property holders and men of substance. To vote you might need to have a certain amount of echoes in the bank or a house.

I feel like this is all going to be handwaved away so that everyone can participate, and that’s for the better. For one thing, as far as I can tell gender was already purely cosmetic everywhere else in FL, and now with the Sunless Sea-style model it’s been iterated so that gender is purely defined by the player internally, and all that matters is how others address you and what you look like. For another, excluding the newest members of the community from the first big event since the iOS release would be pretty rough.
So the Bishop’s been revealed to have his campaign funded by devils, has anything been discovered about Sinning Jenny that would threaten her position as the anti-vake radical liberal feminist badass candidate?
Nope, she’s our next Mayor for sure.
She has a cellarful of dossiers on half London. You didn’t hear this from me.
She’s the filling in our sandwich,
The meat to our two veg,
She’ll guide us safely into port,
Not lead us off the edge,
To every girl she’ll give a weasel,
And to every man a goat,
It’s Sinning Jenny, winning here,
She only needs your vote!

That she has actually given up all her funding from the Bazaar and is going it alone.
