Jenny is Elusive, Bishop is Savage, Contrarian is Baroque. All three still have Gambits left to play.

So no, water isn't wet, something with water on it is wet.
Nice try, but hydrogen bonds itself between the water particles

But... Hydrogen isn't water.
Also, back on the subject of the election.
I see why people favour Jenny above the Contrarian, but to me a leader of good moral fibre is much more important than an effective but thoroughly amoral leader who abuses her position to further her own interests. The Contrarian might be a puppet, but at least he's a puppet who's trying to struggle against his strings and is extraordinarily reasonable when it comes to matters of anarchy and government.
I support the Contrarian in the hopes that he'll do more good than his superiors can do evil, because he's the only one who is reasonably capable of doing good AND solely interested in it, the Bishop being too blunt and Jenny being too self-involved. But that's just my take on things.

Water is 2/3 hydrogen, so conversely, hydrogen is 150% water. Sheesh, the education these days, I swear.

Wait, what. Hydrogen can't be 150% water, it's an entirely separate element.
To keep it on topic, vote Contrarian, he's a little less bad.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

Hey, the Bishop of St. Fiacre's isn't a horrible person! How about him against Feducci! They're both from the Elder Continent!

The Bishop would probably win in a landslide.

No kidding Estelle. There are so very many of us who really hate Feducci. I don't even think we all hate him for the same reasons -- but boy is he really disliked amongst most of the people I know.

I'd vote for Penstock as Mayor if he made being able to sell back lodgings part of his manifesto.

Failbetter Games forums: The one place I know of where people will go from talking about fictional politics to discussing the in-depth philosophy and science of whether or not water is wet, without any break inbetween.
On a more related note, I'd love to see the Bishop of St. Fiacre's and/or the Last Constable as candidates for next year. God, that would be a difficult decision.

Honestly them being horrible people just adds realism to be honest.
I'd love to see someone dead run next year, or at least someone soulless!

For what it is worth, these two traits aren't particularly negative here.

Of course the rubbery would win.

The Implacable Detective is on my wishlist of candidates, as is the Wry Functionary. Dr Orthos has also crossed my mind but I'm not sure about that. Feducci might also be amusing.
I am basically looking at the amusingly ruthless.

I'm hoping for the Wry Functionary myself. I love the idea of Sir Humphrey being forced into the spotlight.

Some good candidates for the next election could be his Amused Lordship and the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner. It would be interesting to see his Amused Lordship involved in a major story that doesn't involve the Mountain and I'm curious as to what his vision for London is. The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner is a character who, much like Jenny and the Contrarian, could really do with some fleshing out, and who would also be perfect for an election story (plus, she's a lady and the next election should have at least one lady).
Oh my goodness, this is such a great idea. I'd love to see him run, and seeing his vision would certainly be interesting. He's always so jovial and yet such an astute guy, I wonder if he'd want to pass that on to his citizens...
