Electioneering

[MsLinnet]

Anyone got any takes on electioneering, as you might know we are in the middle of an election campaign in the UK, an idea flashed through my mind when a candidate knocked on my door last night.

She was quite attractive but not really my type. For the sake of the idea lets say that a young woman was put up by a party in a seat that there was little chance of winning to woo the voters of the town she offers her self as an inducement for them to vote for her party.

On Election Day she wins by an outstanding majority and the men of the town want there pound of flesh and she has to make plans to service them all.

Wishful thinking, MsLinnett????

A good idea though.

I agree Lin's idea has merit.

I can't get past thinking about the movie Election, with Mathew Broderick victimized by the evil electioneering Reese Witherspoon.

Another ferile subject area though is "muffins"...that's slang for the nubile young volunteers who populate the grassroots of political machines. By definition, muffins are edible....

while that's an interesting idea, it seems a bit far-fetched, IMHO. i think it's a bit more realistic that she has to curry favor w/ special interests and those folks want their pound of flesh.

I have been at several rallies or fundraisers where the liquor flowed and various people ended up in coat closets with persons not their spuse. Cost one of my coworkers a marriage.

valid point , there could be thousands of male voters but that could be worked out i think.

Round here we call them "Monicas". I can't imagine how they got the name ...

Interesting idea, but perhaps instead of the whole town wanting their pound of flesh, perhaps she just has to sleep with a man a block or some such. He would then go and spread the good word on her and that way wins the election.

Otherwise your looking at anywhere from 300 to 3 million men wanting their time in bed, not that it wouldn't be fun to work them all in.

this is very true it was just an idea but it is always open to change

I would think that if she was running on just the promise of sex if elected, it would be one more promise broken by a politician.

I think it would work if as she went door to door, she espoused one of two different planks. If the woman of the house was home, she's running for better schools, lower taxes, more jobs, blah blah blah. If the guy answers the door and his Mrs. isn't home, she running to legalize prostitution. "After all, wouldn't you like to pay me 20 pounds and fuck the hell out of me?" She screws half the men in town and collects campaign contributions for the TV and newspaper ads.

Not just the men.

... Otherwise your looking at anywhere from 300 to 3 million men wanting their time in bed, ...

If she is a candidate in a UK Parliamentary election her constituency will have about 75,000 voters, of whom half will be women. So at most she has 37,500 men and the same number of women to whom she has made the offer. If she is in Parliament for five years, that's just over 1800 days so that's only just over 20 of each sex each day. I'm sure that's manageable, if a little tiring. The real b*gg*r of a job would be organising her diary!

... not that it wouldn't be fun to work them all in.

Pun intended, I suppose.

If the candidate were male, it would be much less possible, but would give a whole new meaning to the phrase "Member of Parliament".

I like the way you are thinking on this, I am afraid that the election will be long gone before I try to write anything on this.

So much to do so little time. Linnet
