Before the UK General Election, my school held mock elections. I stood as the leader of the Green Party. The day before voting, there was a hustings session in the morning Chapel period. Some of the speeches were dotted with humour, and the fictional Socialist Patriots' Party's leader provided a Hitler-esque speech. Mine went as follows, and ironically enough the deputy of my school insinuated it was homophobic. I almost got into quite a bit of trouble for it. Interestingly enough however, this speech allowed me to win 6 seats. I was only beaten by the Socialist Paitriots' Party, which got 8. The three main parties recieved thus: Labour, 2, Conservatives, 4 Liberal Democrats, 5. Do you find this offensive? Would you feel homophobically bullied by it? I'm interested to know.
