And so, the UK's 2015 general election (or as one particularly hapless Conservative candidate's autocorrect put it on an election leaflet sent to thousands of people, "erection" (fnar! fnar!)) is now underway.
But imagine if gunge was a hot political topic? Who would you vote for if these were the manifesto positions?
Gungeservatives: Our long term gunge plan is working, and more and more working people are getting to enjoy complete gungings. Vote for us to carry on this policy!
The Gunge Labourers: We have a better plan for gunging all the people of the country, vote for us because the Gungeservative plan isn't working.
The Liberal Gungers: Whoever is the largest party after this election is going to have to get really sticky with us if they want a gunging majority.
The Gunge Independence Party: Gungings were much better before all those pesky Euro-gunge restrictions were brought in, we should stand alone and do our own gungings our way!
The Green Gunge Party: All gunge should be green, those gunge studio lights should be powered by renewable energy, and everyone should be entitled to regular free gungings.
It's a First In The Tank election, you can vote for only one party. Which one would you pick?
