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
