    It is rather, but at least I doubled my vote share from that election to this one. All I'm going to say to your comment for now is:

    Hold that thought.

    It is you who will need to hold that thought; my memory is clearly superior!

    Ah no Nick. I can assure you that you will see what I mean soon, but you should hold that thought.

    You ran in the Deputy Speaker election which daniel_williams eventually won back in August 2010. We had quite a large field of candidates for that election, including paddy! The following Deputy Speaker election wasn't as hotly contested as it was just TCIT and toronto. Then no elections for 18 months and now here we are!
    Haha I remember that. It wasn't exactly a serious attempt

    Intriguing. :holmes:

    If it's the amendment, could you send me a copy as well please?

    And me please. I believe the time should be shorter.

    Good luck to those running - I think I'll be submitting a manifesto this time.

    I will run with a manifesto that consists only of me insulting you and your record in the house

    Have any speakers died in office
    There's a first time for everything.

    (Original post by paperclip)
    I recall running before, possibly against metrobeans. Currently unsure of whether i should go for it :holmes:

    I do have a tendency to regularly disappear for weekends at a time, so perhaps my social life is too busy for it...
    Go for it. I'm sure you'll be able to fit it in, if not sacrifice your social life for TSR. :yes:

    If they all actually submit manifesto's and stay in the race.

    I dunno, i already come on pretty much everyday, and i usually know when i will be disappearing at least a couple of days in advance. I just dont post everyday because i dont really have much of quality to add.

    Plus, i am pretty good at standing my ground, rationalising my behaviour and telling people off :p:

    Though, upon reflection i probably wont run. I dont know where i am going career wise, and it could end up eating up all of my time, especially if i do end up going into research so it would be a poor move.

    Sorry to hear that. I am sure that you will end up in research though given the quality of your posts (and Life_peer's) in your debate in the bar yesterday.

    Responding to speculation about a Morgsie Candidacy, Watch this space.

    I have hinted what a Potential Morgsie Speakership would be like. I have 2 options open at the moment this and the MUN Attorney General post.

    I am tired of the bullying by certain Members towards me, I nearly left and I slipped downwards. People bullied me out of office. I want a House that is free from bullying and respects people from different backgrounds. Openess and Transparency would continue.
