The office of virtual mayor of Bridport is currently vacant. We would like as many Bridport Radio members as possible to stand by putting forward their manifestos. You can take it as seriously or as light-heartedly as you like. Just post your ideas below and let people decide! Nominations will close on December 18th – but bear in mind the earlier you post your manifesto the more votes that you are likely to attract. The three candidates with the most votes as of high noon on December 21st will be asked to take part in an electoral hustings as Bridport Radio's Christmas party on December 22nd at the Beehive.
As the party has been postponed you all have some more time to piece together your manifestos…Ed
This will consist of each mayoral candidate answering in turn a question from the floor – like BBC Question Time – but funnier. At the end of the hustings, all those present will entitled to vote to elect our new mayor, who will be welcomed into office once the votes have been counted. Please include at the end of your manifesto your own suggestions for the trappings of office that you feel appropriate for the virtual mayor of Bridport, but bear in mind, should you be elected, you will be expected to supply them at your own cost. The successful candidate will also be expected to programme the Mayor's Banquet in conjunction with the Bridport Radio team. Good luck to you all

Dear Miss Kitty
I’ll pass on your request to the grand wizard …see me at the bridport radio party. ps to andy head where do we get tickets ??
But surely this process will involve each candidate revealing their identity? If I revealed my real identity you wouldn’t let me post messages anymore. Yours The Bat (AKA Osama Bin Laden), … DOH!

The point about dressing your house up with gaudy and ludicrous displays of flashing light is to show people how much better your christmas will be than other peoples. Whilst our house shines out as a beacon of affluence and party party fun fun fun the more traditional or dreary displays only show a meanness of spirit. It is only right that people get the chance to come and look at my two bed terraced or semi and marvel at it, apart from incoming property buyers who don’t know the area and don’t realise that skilling and court orchard are council estates. The whole point of christmas is nothing to do with religion it is about gratuitous indulgence, getting rid of the earths natural resources as quickly as possible and speeding up the global warming process therefore sending us all to our doom that much quicker which will mean that my own cult Chavs United Never To Surrender, will one day rule the world.
It looks like the building next to The Bull Hotel in East Street, before the Bull was built.
You’re either an Eco Warrior or your not. There is no in between. You either eat your own feces and grow your own parsnips between your rancid fungal toes, or you simply rate personal comfort higher than the saftey of the planet. Part-time Swampies are worse than petrol guzzling eco-haters so decide which pigeon hole to live in and take a huge sigh of relief.
You miserable bunch of b*****ds, Tchibo has a great range of low energy LED festivity lighting solutions. Good job the party was cancelled, you would have bemoaned the fact your beer was pumped using electricity, are you on broadband? I drive to Bristol and buy my energy saving bulbs from Ikea, they are made in China by children in factories that polute the worlds water(allegedly) you cant win. Cameras everywhere.
