Election Night Party Manifesto
May. 3rd, 2005 08:49 amSome people have contacted me over the long weekend and have asked me for details of my “Election Night Party Manifesto”. After some discussion with the committee, the details are as follows:
We’re planning on starting “from about 8pm onwards” this gives Carole & myself time to vote, (compulsory voting) get something to eat and generally get the house into a fit state (tough on grime, tough on the causes of grime). If people want to turn up earlier, they can do so, but they might get dragged into doing stuff! (Full employment)
As the first results wont be coming in until “about 10pm”, I propose that we put on a DVD or play a daft game for 2 hours or so, to kill the time. Election results should come in from just after 10pm, and we should have a fairly good indication of the results around midnight. At 2am, those few stragglers / that band of brothers/ those hardened few who are still up will know roughly what the shape of the new government will be, but will have to do without me, cos I shall be standing down after the election and going to bed.
At some time – probably about 11pm, we’re planning on ordering a take-away. The manifesto offers a selection, but we our policy is either European Union (ie pizza), or going to the Chinese at the end of the road (also know as the “Rover option”). We are stongly against middle-eastern dishes as they are a bit to spicy & oily to be palatable.
Also, we have some booze & will release some from the strategic wine reserve, but we’d appreciate it if people could also bring some too, to ensure equitable distribution of the peoples alcohol reserve.
As to invites? Well, if you’re reading this and you know where my house is, then you’re probably invited. Though I reserve the right to veto entry into my house. And if I catch illegal immigrants / people smugglers helping people into my house, I’ll break out the blue rosettes.
See you on election night. Vote Election Night Party! Vote ENP!
