Whoever becomes Vice President also acts as President of the Senate and can cast deciding votes.

Why I’m running : I detect a distinct lack of useful policies. As a result, I resolve to campaign for some that are more useful, such as:
1. Bouncy sidewalks will be introduced
2. Due to a lack of graffiti, subsidised art competitions will be introduced.
3. As large areas of water are empty of any activity, party boats will be created.
