Been working so hard on my electoral programme that I hardly had time to post on here. I didn't know I had to present one, I thought they'd already taken care of that! There are going to be 10 more parties racing it for the presidentials this term, although am more or less guaranteed to win, the more there are of them the better it will look for us and Follyland's acclaimed democracy and pluralist politics. I've been thinking really hard about my programme while sipping my favourite chilled mango juice and fermented goat's milk cocktail and I reckon I've come up with something: I am going to focus on three major sectors - 1)- ongoing reward scheme for the former war veterans, yes, although all of them should be dead by now, their reward scheme must go on for eternity, because they will remain eternal in our memory. This will help people continue remembering our heroic past and be pleased with it. 2)- promoting the entertainment industry so that the people can enjoy themselves more and have a good time playing games or betting, hopefully this will make them complain less because complaining is not good for their health. We don't want to end up with a nation of sickos. 3)- just generally working on making everybody better off, by abolishing taxes and working together to find new ways of not funding those crappy public services or maybe abolishing them as well. I thought of making this last point more explicit by suggesting we simply split oil money between all of us according to our ranks and influence and ditch all this economy boosting and job creating nonsense, but the Jolly Boys said this is a bad idea to suggest to people because it might hurt their pride by suggesting that they are begging from us and living off our backs (which they actually are doing but never mind hey). Good point that. I know the other parties will brag on about education and health yadadee yadada, the usual boring stuff that nobody gives two hoots about. That's why I've decided to steer clear of that crap.
