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.

I can confirm the following candidates have applied either through the forum or by DM:
