Consul election campaign begins

The 2109 Dino Consul election has begun in earnest ahead of the vote in late November. However with Jimmy on 93% of the vote in the latest poll excitement has been a bit muted. Jimmy opened his campaign with a speech to the Liberal Party in Dino-Land. He pledged decreased defence spending and greater social spending. Health Secretary Spikeson (also a Liberal Party member) said there would be increased help for unmarried Mums (though some wags did say that Spikeson had probably caused most of them).

Although Imperial Order are not standing in this election Ronald has said that cutting the defence budget would be a mistake. MBH, who will be replaced as Consul by the winner of the election, said the policies were typical of the "wimpy and soft Liberals".
