I support the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner fully, but let's not forget this quote you get when you rat out a Constable to the Gazette.
"Bent or straight, a copper does more good in a week than most do in a lifetime."
That being said, I'm throwing my lot in with the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner for various reasons.
Firstly, it really appeals to me that she's such a naïve and fresh character without any explicit ties to criminals, politicians, or deep-running plots. Compared and contrasted to the Implacable Detective, who's very learned of ancient Neathy mysteries and Feducci, who IS an ancient Neathy mystery, the DTC is completely outmatched.
Secondly, she seems to be one of the few characters that aren't completely jaded yet.
Lastly, the Temperance Movement progressive and social ties are very appealing to my personal political opinionations, so there's that.

Dirty Secret of the Election Campaign - Investigating The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner
An alluring young woman with vivid green eyes passed you on the street and slips an envelope into your pocket. "I will just leave this with you." She whispers with an infectious smile. Once home, you retrieve the envelope and find an account of an infiltration into the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner's campaign office:
[spoiler]
Her campaign operates with the bustling efficiency of a village fete. In your disguise, you are swiftly put to work organising leaflets into Teatime Friendly and In Need of a Stern Talking To categories, depending on which constituency they're to be distributed in. Hours pass, interrupted only by the sudden onset of the tea trolley, which thunders through the polished corridors like the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse.
Eventually, your piles of leaflets are neat enough to allow you to progress to more important tasks. While you are on the tea round, you overhear several choice morsels. Anarchists have been haunting the headquarters, seeking favours for 'old friendships not forgot.'

My word. Politics do make very strange bedfellows don't they? I never thought I would vote for the Temperance Campaigner, but here we are? How did this come to pass?
I trust Feducci as far as I can throw as I can throw him. Trust a man by how he treats those around him. For those that heard the bandaged fellows confession at Hallomas it is clear that Feducci only looks out for number one.
For the Detective? I understand a clean up of the legal system. I feel for her and the fellow detectives that are mistreated. But, unfortunately, they are just another arm of the Masters. Strengthening this arm merely strengthens them.
And as for all of the poor fools shrieking, "oh my booze, they will take my booze away they will they will". Remember your history, alcohol will flow regardless of the law. But if restricted, it certainly no longer falls into the clothy pockets of our lovely and gracious Mr. Wines.
Teatime for London!
Now accepting Donations for our lovely Campaigner. Happy to match any donations, loves. Let's hitch up our skirts and get this done. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Winter%20IV

WinterIV brings up excellent points. Shen is certainly holding out for those speakeasies, as the Detective calls for a harsh crackdown against crime and Feducci simply cannot be trusted.
Shen's a Fixer, if any of you are in need:

Investigating the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner.
[spoiler]
Her offices are being held at the Guildhall of the Humble Order of Mudlarkers and Steeplejacks, a small and sombre tenement building on the edge of Spite. A small cabinet on the second storey, past a mouldering chimney tower, is heavily padlocked, and affixed with a sign reading 'DON'T.'
Several minutes later, you have all the padlocks off and the sign is sitting forlornly on the dusty floor. Inside are instructions on waylaying honey-dealers, and accounts describing the purchase of vast amounts of honey. The Campaigner is eager to get the stuff out of people's hands, but has no idea what to do with it all. Gallon after gallon of it are being poured into a 'honey-well.'

WinterIV's points are precise. The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner is not what I'd like her to be, but she's probably the better choice than the other candidates. So if you happen to need a campaigner, feel free to write.

I agreed with Anne's recommendation of the Campaigner -- but on the idea that she'd favor rights for Clay Men, Rubberies, Rattus Faber, and so forth! This does not say anything about any of that! *shakes fist* WHERE'S MY EMANCIPATION CAMPAIGN, MISSY?!
Here it is:
Campaigner Card wrote:
A kinder London
An inspiration to some, a nuisance to others, a source of creeping dread to yet others, the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner is a polarising figure. She champions a great many causes, large and small, for nothing is beneath her notice and she will let no vice go unchecked. Yet, she cares for animals, the poor, the reformed criminals and honey addicts with as much fervour as she crusades against wicked landlords and spirifiers, liquor merchants and honey peddlers.
Her campaign is bolstered by staunch Society matrons, Criminals in varying stages of reform, and the Church. She can be seen marching through the streets bearing a placard reading: 'PROSPERITY! DIGNITY! TEA!'

Again, true enough, but who in London's history has ever been guilty of pursuing realistic programs?
Her plans seem fairly realistic to me. She has a list of essentials and a list of things she's willing to compromise on, which indicates she's given her program a lot of thought and knows how to prioritize.

I can't believe I'm supporting the campaigner, but there you have it
the explanatory text on her card absolutely won me over
[spoiler]The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner tears herself away from a brisk conversation with a member of Humble Order of Mudlarkers and Steeplejacks to answer your questions.
"I have dedicated my life to fighting exploitation. Yes, I've fought the honey-pushers, who addict dreamers, and the drink-dealers who poison mothers and fathers. But I'm here to fight the factory-owners, the landlords, the bankers who drive our citizens into such harmful escapes. We must help the addled and afflicted, provide houses of respite and healing. And tea. I am in favour of tea." She smiles and gives you a firm handshake, before marching away to menace a notoriously unscrupulous landlord.[/spoiler]
I'd take housing for the poor over speculative investment and more brutal policing any day

Quick question to fellow supporters, do we need an HQ for RP, discussion, and plotting? There's one for Feducci and it'd certainly be useful to have a single main page to go off.

I think a main page that combines all information about Campaigner campaigners, fixers, and agitators would be useful, as would a single space where greater coordination can be proposed. Keep it in the Mandrake.

I have my concerns about the honey well too but not enough to sway my resolve.
As a fixer I have added you all as contacts and sent you some pre-emptive help for scandal. It is there for you should you need it.
