Jennifer’s Ear: Labour has lied through their teeth about his poor little girl. The story they sold the British people is demonstrably false and the entire should be asking themselves: “If we can’t expect Neil Kinnock to tell the truth about the death of a little girl, when can we?” Labours attempt to score cheap political points here should turn the stomach of any sensible person.

John Major will do a series of town halls across Northern England aimed at working class voters (influence working class)

Major will then focus his fire on Northwest England while he’s up there (rally- northwest England)

Thatcher will attack Labours Socialist policies among voters in the East Midlands (rally - East Midlands)

John redwood will try again in Southeast England (rally- southeast England)

And Hestia the Bestia will go after Moderate voters once more (Influence Moderates)

Liberal democrats presents their apologies to voters of West Midlands : Our party may have hurted Georgians who may live in Midlands by our comment relating to georgian peaches. We want to present our apologies, we know that the Georgian heritage is well present in the culture of the people over here with our lovely climate. Our party may have hurted you over this issue which is one of the crucial ones alongside the economy and bringing unemployment down. May once again accept our apologies.

Liberal Democrats pledge to boost housing policies in East Midlands : We think that besides peaches, it is really important to adress you with the housing problem. Libdems commit to adopt policies in order to reduce inflations on housing's prices. A Libdem government will especially focus on this issue.

Influence : Liberal Democrats try once again to appeal to Leftists, by letting them know that they are going to adress civil partneurship for same sex couples by the next parliament alongside the Labour party which has also committed to do something for them.

Rally (9): The apology is accepted and citizens of the West Midlands build a giant Peachoid in honor of peaches! Just like the one in Gaffney, South Carolina!

Rally (1!): The East Midlands doesn't give a shit about housing problems. Peaches and peaches ONLY. Ashdown gets swarmed with a face full of peaches at a rally!

Influence (6): The attempt goes relatively well, but it doesn't make up much of the lost ground. 

Overall: 0. The Lib Dems continue to stall a bit as the East Midlands hates everybody. Count Binface might win a seat here.

John Tyndall will continue the push in Hartlepool, rallying agianst multiculturalism and promises to "bring back the prosperity the British working class once had!"

Rally (1!): I am sorry. I think you need to threaten another synagogue again. 😕 (Sorry for saying this.)

Overall: -6. Bipolar turns for the BNP.

Rally (7): The SNP does well once again in Neihelen En la ba lah har. 

Influence (9): The SNP does well!

Rally (1!): A dumb campaign worker screws up the ad content and accidentally adds "bruh" as every other word spoken by a person in the Ad.

Rally (1!): Dumb campaign organizers once again lose the paper that had all towns they were supposed to visit listed. No bueno. 

Overall: -3. Plaid stalls a bit.

Jennifer's Ear: What we said is true, the Conservatives, and their lapdogs The Sun, are attempting to muddy the water around the health debate. We should redouble our efforts to attack the Tories on their disastrous health policies, they have eviscerated the NHS, and given kickbacks to private insurance companies. Why should we back off a winning issue?

Event 1: The Labour Party continues to attack the Tories on their underfunding, and mismanagement of the NHS by releasing a new newspaper ad nationwide on the topic.

Event 2: Neil Kinnock takes a chance, and visits the increasingly blue city of London

Event 3: Tony Blair appeals to the Middle Class attempting to get their support for the Labour party (Influence Middle Class)

Event 4: Tony Benn works his magic among Progressives to prevent any crossover to the Lid Dems (Influence: Progressives)

Event 5: John Smith talks to voters in Southern Scotland

Jennifers Ear (14/20): The response is certainly a bit crude as many in the country believe the little girl shouldn't have been involved. But the criticism of current health policies lands. 

Rally (8): The ads land. 

Rally (8): The city gets a glimpse of the man himself. Many find themselves more endeared to Kinnock rather than the Labour Party itself. Wherever Kinnock goes, he now draws the crowds. A stark contrast from his prior campaigns. Despite the accomplishments of Thatcher, the country seems ready to move on. 

Influence (1!): The attempt is miserable as the middle class wonders what a fake Labour man such as Tony Blair is doing talkin about the middle class! (sorry) 

Influence (8): Tony Benn whips the Leftists through and through!

Rally (7): John Smith is well received.

Overall: +5. The Labour surge continues...

Greens turn

1. The greens will once again campaign in Brighton pavilion

Rally (10!): Brighton's looking better day by day! 

Influence (3): It doesn't go too well. 😕 

Endorsement (8): Julian endorses! This is a good national boost for the Greens, and he personally visits Brighton the following day to promote Green policies!

Overall: +7. Greens do well and recover!

War of Jennifers Ear (16/20): Despite Labour hitting a cord by pointing out problems in the Health service, the Tories hit back as hard as they can and The Sun exposes the lie of the story itself. It's likely to turn out as a hyperpartisan issue going into election night. The Tories seemingly come off a bit better as without their most trustworthy newspaper ally; The Sun, they might be left in the dust. 

Influence (9): John Major is turning out to be the most absolute champion of the Conservative campaign. Despite a looming defeat, many pundits and rumor has it among Tory backbenchers are saying Major is the man to replace Thatcher. 

Rally (5): Major is still received well but he's just in unfriendly territory. 

Rally (8): The attacks land. Despite Kinnock having the image of a moderate, many citizens who are taking a closer look have grave concerns for the Labour platform. 

Rally (1!): The South East hates john redwood.

Influence (3): Hestia doesn't do too well. 

Overall: -1. While John Redwood ruins the week a bit, the Tories have a decent turn which is defined by the man, the myth, the legend, John Major, and the War of Jennifer's Ear debacle.

War of Jennifer's Ear

While Labour seemed to get their point across clearly concerning matters of the NHS, Conservatives and numerous figures around the country condemn the usage of the little girl in a national television ad. Even if said figures agree with the point being made. 


General Headlines

  • Conservatives appear to receive a small boost of support as the “War of Jennifers Ear” controversey continues.
  • John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer and father of Princess Diana, dies suddenly from pneumonia at the age of 68.

Libdems continue their meetings in Liverpool, what they want is to continue to campaign in field where they have not done well enough so far in order to keep a minimal number of seats in every regions by the end of the campaign even if the South is one of their places. Paddy Ashdown promises that the next Liberal Democrats will promote culture and fund cultural programs in a town which has danced on the Beattles.

Libdems go in North east england then, particulary in Sedgefield where they claim that they are the real moderate alternative to the Conservatives despite what the local member of parliament might try to communicate.

Libdems conclude their campaign session by an attempt to get more influence on Conservative voters. Their card is to show their crime plan which clearly aims to ensure law and order.

Rally (10!): The rallies are a hit and the Liberal Democrats are on track to do better in the North West!

Rally (4): The rallies are a little dull, and despite Tony Blair gaffes along the campaign trail, he's quite liked back home. 

Influence (8): It surprisingly goes well. It might sway a few Conservatives put off by the continuation of Thatcher into the Liberal Democrat column. 

Overall: +8. Liberal Democrats are back on the rise again it seems.

Rally (9): The ads do very good!

Rally (1!): The attacks don't land and are seen as too nasty for voters. Seems like Wales now has its own little, "War of Jennifer's Ear."

Overall: +1. Plaid does ok, but the disastrous attack ad will definitely take a hit.

Rally (3): Argyll and Bute is a lean Lib Dem seat where Conservatives are the 2nd place. It'll be tough for the SNP to do much. 

Influence (6): It moves the needle slightly. 

Rally (6): The ad is decently received. Many have concerns about independence though. 

Overall: 0. The SNP stalls a bit, but they're on the right track.

Rally - Hartlepool (9): They don't like the normal Tyndall. But they sure as hell love racist Tyndall! After plenty of terrible words to say to another human being, Tyndall finds himself surging once more among the working class. If he can keep the trend, he may just benefit from the vote split of Labour-Conservative in the constituency!

Overall: 4. The race to the finish line in Hartlepool could end up most discomforting on election night. Only time will tell. The angry working class whites and shipyard workers are ready to make Tyndall their MP.

Influence (10!): The ads work! While Kinnock is still seen as a man of integrity, this Ad takes center stage for the week and hits home for many moderates. 

Rally (8): Hess Truck is actually useful once again!

Rally (9): Redwood sucks anyways, but Thatcher hits the cord and sees an even greater surge of support in the area!

Overall: +19. Conservatives have the turn they need. The attacks land, and the campaigning is going well. There's talk that the opinion polls might be starting to get it wrong.

Influence (10!): John Major once again proves himself to be the absolute star of this campaign. Pollsters, pundits, and strategists can't explain it. This man is loved, and the working class puts their faith in him. The working class was thought to have seemed solidly in the Labour column at a time, this man has turned it around. This one man. 

Rally (7): London continues to surprisingly be an area where the Conservatives are favored to hold. Whether it be anxiety from Labours economic platform, the Tories have put up one hell of a campaign here. Let's see if it pays off. 

Influence (7): John Major... back at it again with the miners this time. He does quite well. 

Rally (2): Hess truck isn't well received. They like to hear from Thatcher about peaches, not Hess.

Rally (10!): Thatcher is a hit and while this region was a Lean Labour area... it's certainly trending the other direction.

Overall: +13. The 11th hour surge of the Conservative Party continues. The pundits are going wild about it.
