The year I ran (because I was begged to, for lack of candidates) I was the |
| 9 |
only one diligent enough to write a manifesto. And I wasn't elected. I may |
| 10 |
have been a bad candidate for that election, although honestly I thought I |
| 11 |
was the better candidate and I'm obviously unbiased, but it clearly shows |
| 12 |
manifestos are not a factor. This and the council elections are beauty |
| 13 |
contests. Very few people vote and those who do choose based on who they |
| 14 |
are friends with. The only thing a manifesto does in a Gentoo election is |
| 15 |
satisfy the conscience and ego of the author. |
