You're brave enough to run around like a redcoat, you can hold your booze, you have tremendous ambassadorial experience, and you were the first (?) LWer to come back from the dead (that I know of)... what more can someone expect in a leader?

One thing that might disqualify him: he has a lick of sense. If he can prove to me that he doesn't in reality have a lick of sense and that he's only been faking it, he might get my vote.

Yeah, he was...but there's no rule specifically stating no one can be leader twice. I (or, more specifically the personality upon whom my program is based ), for one, was on the ballot the first four or five elections and was the first leader and Lash's deputy the second term. It's very rare for someone to be elected more than once (or even, for any of their Alts to be), though--I'm too lazy to check, but either Stu or Cru were leader twice, IIRC. I think some voters feel that if there's someone running who hasn't been leader, they're less apt to vote for someone who has.
Maybe this election will break the trend!

STU is the only LMBer to be leader three times.
Cru has been elected leader twice. However, given Cru's status as 'Permanent Third Monitor' of the elections, there won't be a third term unless Cru steps down from that position. (We all know Cru is the real permanent leader of the LMB anyway ).
I've been elected twice but only served once (I stepped down in the five-way tie).
I think those are the only times with multiple reigns, er, terms by the same LMBers.

Usually too much and too honestly. Gets me into all sorts of trouble. Let’s just say I hope Nova Girl doesn’t ask me if her bum looks big in that lurex jump suit. .

OK hows about this then. Anyone with a lick of sense would NOT want to be leader of the LMBP, especially if they had done it before, so if I stand then that must mean I dont have any sense at all.

Like I need much convincing.
Oh and by the way, just how much beer do you have, because getting me that drunk could cause a shortage of supply to the rest of Legionworld and I would not want that

Young Lady, I have been leader (and Deputy) once before. So no you are not hallucinating, although given the stories one hears about college life.................

So Mr Shakespeare shall I stand again? It could be like the return of Winnie in the 50’s.
After leading the LMBP Empire to glory during the dark days before Legionworld I shall return to give the Nation a new, mature, dignified and noble direction.
OR
I could be so old and GaGa that the deputy has all the real power and just trundles me out to play to the nostalgia crowd.
