So, the House of Nonsense shut down since nobody wanted to play anymore. The prime minister silly donkey, Harpo, hung his head in shame as he visited the governor general's office to let him know that everyone took their toys and went home. So, a vote was announced for the beginning of May. It was up to the other animals to decide which of the donkeys would take over as the prime minister.
It was time to "campaign". This meant that they would go from one end of the field to the other, and try to sway the animals to vote for them. They had ridiculous promises that they called "platforms". During the campaign, they would heckle each other, kiss random baby animals, and act like they actually cared for the field. Harpo stuck to his guns, claiming that the field needed to reduce taxes for multinational farmers so that they would come here and grow more carrots. The problem with this was that the multinationals didn't have any loyalty to the field. They would go wherever it was cheapest to grow carrots. Most had gone to a field called China because they could grow lots of carrots and pay very little of those carrots out to the animals. As well, he spent much of his campaign making fun of Iggy and ignoring Jacko. Jacko promised lots of carrots to everyone, not really considering who would grow them. He also promised to "fix" the House of Nonsense. He really wished that the other silly donkeys would take him more seriously. Trying to steal Jacko's few voters, Iggy promised that he would do everything that Jacko would do, and continued to kiss baby animals and criticize Harpo. Frenchie had his saw out, ready to separate his part of the field. Finally, there was a new player named Greeny. She wanted to build clouds and make it rain so that the field could have lots of rainbows. And, she wanted to legalize weed and tax it, so that all the animals can get stoned and be happy with clouds and rainbows and not worry about carrots anymore. Greeny had a small following, even less than Jacko, and she wasn't popular enough to be allowed into the House of Nonsense. She really wanted to get in there.
