Surely there must be some sort of minimum qualifications to stand as a candidate?
Like the endorsement of 50 electors, or even a fee?

I just read through all my candidates responses to vote and half of them sound like someone filling in their grade 6 for the yearbook about what they want for the future.
I’d vote for him to be honest. At least he has a clear vision.

Don’t get very many honest politicians out there. This man is honest, he has my vote.

Considering one of my candidates rambled on about ‘woke’ this and that and most of the others droned on about some kind of investment background, quality’s certainly shit.
And most options have 0 clue how local government works

At least it’s short and to the point.

Honestly, I’d still vote for him over some of the clowns up for election in my council.

He’ll get a decent few votes because haha beers so funny and people genuinely being disenfranchised when it comes to council voting. Kind of a clever gimmick if you’re not a typical councilman type.

All the candidates in mine had identical spiels to each other.
At least this says something real.

One of my candidates is going to stop the war on the Gaza strip. I had no idea that the City of Banyule council possessed such diplomatic and military strength!

I love council candidates who don’t seem to realise what powers the councils actually have. If you want State powers run in a State election.
At least this guy is staying in his lane.

Let’s be honest local councils do absolutely nothing anyway and should be removed all together. Administrative bs
