Pole rises impressively despite election bungle

Thu Jun 18, 2026 12:30 pm

Emmanuel Pole is the front-running candidate in the upcoming Worshireshire local election, according to Survey, the company that does surveys of various things.

The election appeared unannounced one morning, and came as a shock according to those close to sources. The initial furore has since died down.

Pole stands on a manifesto upheld by many needy citizens "because they like it", he said. He was not originally favourite for the position, but has managed to garner support with his "Just Do It" campaign.

"As a slogan, it resonates," said a man on a street. "I can almost imagine it on a t-shirt or something. That's the kinda thing I'd vote for."

Pole's gains have been made in spite of the scandal and subsequent lawsuit involving Ms. Anything-Goeth, heiress to the Double-Jamesons' fortune. Pole was sued by Lord Double-Jamesons himself, in an attempt to stop Pole standing, after accusations of Unacceptable Hustings with a Lady in a Public Place.

It was to be a landmark forensic case, until the Double-Jamesons' team was forced to drop its suit against Pole after admitting to have lost his deposit.
