Delicious friends! Our statistics on the 1895 Election have been officially revealed on our blog.
Vote Implacable Detective
She has all the snakes.
All of them.
So who are we voting for in Election 1895, lads?
I think I gots to go with the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner. Feducci, of course, is right out, because fuck libertarians. The Implacable Detective seemed like an immediately obvious choice, but her platform is literally “more money and power for cops.” And... that’s it. Nothing else. She wants to take the most corrupt and authoritarian institution of civil order in London and make it more authoritarian.
The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner might be for prohibition, which is a bad idea and also unworkable, but everything else in her platform is superb. She would continue the work begun by Sinning Jenny in most respects. As a former member of Jenny’s campaign committee, I endorse her and her platform.
June 28th, 1895
In the wake of these elections I find myself caught between two choices: an ever fixed hound hot on the trail of ne’er-do-wells of society and a person who knows the value of being able to choose death in the face of nigh eternal life.
While I am impressed with the Implacable Detective I am forced to wonder if my kindnesses in her campaign would allow her, for all her pride, to turn a blind eye when my dealings take me places apart from polite society? And Feducci, what sort of rule would he have? I admire the man quite a bit but I know little of his leanings.
So, do I play by what my heart says would be advantageous or do I play by chance? This is no coin flip decision either for Londoners. I feel voting for the Detective will, inevitably, put a noose around my neck. Not everyone works for the greater good in broad daylight as it were, and who’s to say I am working for a greater good at all?
It may seem unfair, but I may just lean my ear towards the raggedy man himself. Fair play? We shall see.
....As far as the Temperance Campaigner is concerned she can collect her tea from the Boston Harbor as far as I’m concerned.
Speak to the Jovial Contrarian: Jenny's rival in the Election of 1894. He campaigned partly out of spite and partly out of whimsy, and came close to victory. Currently, he is menacing the canapes.
