The election to replace President Sea Urchin (who is not standing again) has begun. Only two candidates have been announced (Windscorpion and Zeppelin). The deadline is the end of September though it is not thought likely there will be any other credible candidates.
Windscorpion is the overwhelming favourite despite the fact he is away on a long range (and secret) mission and won't be able to take part in any of the campaigning. His deputy Torus will take his place. Zeppelin did score some points though by querying what will happen if Windy did not return from his mission. Torus replied that Zeppelin should be beaten to death for even suggesting such blasphemy.
The vote takes place in early November.
